Google St. Patrick's day logo . Happy St.Pat's day!

... but what about St. Andrew?

I see that G has a nice St. Patricks day logo today so a happy St Paddy's day to Irish folks everywhere!

It puzzles me that at Google they never acknowledge St Andrew's day on 30 November. Is there a bias against we Scots at Google? Think about what they could do to that logo with tartan ;)

If ayone from Google is reading this I will accept, by way of an apology, a feature on the day of the Tartan Day parade in NY on April 8th.

Its my 35th birthday today as well.

So how come Google hasnt put my pic on the site? Dont they know how important I am to the internet?

[BeeDeeDubbleU]

Essex Boy I am sure that you have only been displaced by St Pat's day. You would have been there otherwise.

Do they do a St George's day?

Patron saint of small sites (and MFAs: grrrrr)!

Let's hope they have one for St. George's Day as well.

St. Google's Day is everyday....search....kerching!

Essex_boy - Google know you are important. Didn't they e-mail you? ;)

And happy birthday :)

Essex Boy, I know just how you feel.

Google has not yet acknowledged how important I am either. My birthday came and went and Mr. Brin didn't even call. Have they not realized how unnoticeably influential I am?

I did however get a drunken phone call from Tim Berners-Lee... couldn't tell what he was saying with all the background noise...

... but what about St. Andrew :)

St. Patricks day is just so fashionable these days. Everyone pretends they're Irish and drinks Guinness.

St. Andrew's day is just us Scots eating haggis and drinking too much whisky!

arran.

call from Tim Berners-Lee... couldn't tell what he was saying with all the background noise- Bet e was talking in Binary then.

No we dont really celebrate St Georges day in England, we have a warped view that anything nationalistic in leaning is racist.

Weird place to live is the UK.

St Andrew's day (Scotland's and Greece's patron saint) is celebrated Worldwide on 30 November each year but it never seems to have caught on in the USA. I guess they were too preoccupied with the Irish celebrations ;)

History Lesson
--------------

In recent years tartan day (6 April) has been promoted in North America as a celebration for people with Scottish roots. It gets bigger each year and it was chosen because it was on this date in 1320 that the "Declaration of Arbroath" was signed. The declaration of Arbroath was the Scottish declaration of independence from England. The US declaration of independence was based on this document probably because many of the prominent Americans of the time were of Scottish Descent.
