    Well if those two clowns are now banned, then I'm back.

    George? Should he be our patron saint? Why did he ever get the gig? He wasn't English at all, he certainly appears to have died in Palestine, and all that is really known about him is he might have been a soldier. The best known tale about him is a myth, but maybe the battle against adversity is meant to be what England stands for. Edward III is the king who really introduces George as the patron of England, and he's the one who started kicking scotch arses after Bannockburn. So George was Edward's patron saint, and after the battle of Agincourt (fought on April 23rd) the saint's day became a national holiday for years.

    That is how we were landed with him.

    So happy Agincourt day. A day to celebrate, the destruction of the French. We should also have a Waterloo day.
