Happy St George’s Day

[figbat]

So what do you think was first on the to-do list after St Edmund died?

My son was born 14 July - in 2020 we had a holiday in southern France planned and we told him the whole country would be celebrating his birthday. Sadly COVID put paid to that!

14 July is also a funny name for a boy - but then this thread is making me adjust my preconceptions ...

I hope you do manage another 14th July trip - there should be some bike racing for him to watch when you get there too! :-) 🥖

Very good!

I just remembered - had to check the dates - that Boniface was made patron saint of Devon in 2020. I think Devon was a bit miffed that Kernow had one (St Pirian), but they didn't. Dorset has St Wite, about whom nothing is known. Somerset appears not to have one.

We can't afford one Ian.

Screenman! Where the f*** have you been?!

(That’s Scots for ‘welcome back’.)

just fancied a break, back now due to extremely sad circumstances as I now have more time on my own.

I think this fellow should be canonised, just so that we can have a Saint Cheers day.

I may start a campaign for Lemmy to be made a Saint.

Just imagine it. St Lemmy, patron Saint of bassists. Magnificent.

I think to be a saint you need a miracle...

It's a miracle he lasted as long as he did.

Being sensible, I guess Lemmy can never be a Saint when he's already a God.

Ozzie Osborne I think is a greater miracle.

Keith Richards is not a miracle because he went to Robert Johnson's crossroads I heard. Probably not true so perhaps a miracle afterall.

Sorry to hear that.

We're always a bit behind here....
