GEORGE DAY TODAY : a saint for some
Some celebrate today, April 23rd, as a "Saint George" day. Or should I say that a few people do this. But in the UK that old gas-bag, liar and career politician, Jack Straw, even finds time to write about this in newspapers and to brown-nose his future Brown hole in power. ( That is not courage Jack boy that is simply a repeat performance of your student days where to run was to get ahead). But brown-nosed Jack did not lick the arse of our other George in Europe. Finland also celebrates George day today.
Yrjö. Yes YRJÖ is the same as George in Finnish language. Today is Yrjö day. What connection is there between this and Jack Straw bending down on his knees yelling George? Let me tell you.
The Yrjö call is a famous call down the white telephone. This Yrjö call is often called at least three times. George, George, George, it goes, down that white telephone.
For the Finnish ear it is Yrjö as ERR-REE-YAAAAAAA.
Pissed again Mr Jack?
May I call you down the white telephone sir?

Editor comments : For those not into the Zola classifications and to stop undue e-mail complaints let us explain.
To groan down the white telephone is a working class habit especially on Friday through to Friday and used as a voting strategy ( termed "vomit tactics" sometimes).
We say this to avoid undue anxiety for our Middle of the Road readers or our upper middle class twits.
Ah - a technicolour yawn, you mean. Shouting for Huey, etc.
I like euphemisms. I didn't even realise it was St George's Day today, incidentally. But as far as patron saints go, he's like cowshit - all over the place.
Well Trousers : I guess a tehnicolour yawn is about the same although it seems to assume a very variable diet.
I wonder what colours are on display with this lot.
I love pea soup with mint sauce. I vote green.
Well - come on - come clean and tell us.
OK you do not know.
Then test it out.
I love mushy peas with mintsauce..........and,dammit,I want some now.
