Happy St Georges Day everyone

[SeanMacGabhann]

TT - you are in impossibly devlish form today aren't you?

[Jah Lush]

Ahem!

In Christian hagiography Saint George (ca. 275-281 ? April 23, 303[2]) was a soldier of Greek-speaking Anatolia in the Roman Empire, venerated as a Christian martyr.

Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Churches, and the Eastern Catholic Churches. He is immortalised in the tale of George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.

St. George is the patron saint of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organisations and disease sufferers.

Damn it, I want a unique saint! I say when he kicks the bucket, we have St Keef Richards as England's saint!

[Jah Lush]

With you on that Keef but f**k the Saints we want sinners and Keith Richards shall be our Patron Sinner.

Im afraid so Mac, it's St George's Day you see, brings out the dragon in me.::o

[????]

The celebration of a patron saint's day is a deep routed sign of insecurity (based on dipsoria(SP?)eg irish in New York, or just being small eg welsh (numbers and stature)) so the rise of St Georges day in recent years tells us something about our growing english insecurity...maybe we are finally fed up of subsidising all our celtic brethren whilst getting the blame for everything and being governed by them. Independence for England...for god, for etc

I truly believe that it is possible that Keef has already kicked the bucket and is one of the undead walking among us - it would explain so much. And when exactly did he get knighted? For what? Services to eyeliner?

[Keef]

He hasn't been knighted, st Keef meant Saint Keef.

I agree with the zombie theory though! ;-)

'Saint' Keef is actually the new face of Louis Vuitton. I mean, really, I'm not making that up. I've had an email from LV - I have proof. A picture of Keef on a bed, guitar in hand, LV bag nonchalantly strewn. Keef as supermodel; who knew.

[Brendan]

bollocks

[Brendan]

And who is this Louis character anyway, sounds suspiciously French, and what does he want with Sir Keef of MacRichardson?s boat race.

Isn't that just Kate Moss without her slap on?

[TillieTrotter]

Maybe their new range includes abit of vintage leather (Keef's face).

[giggirl]

You just couldn't make it up could you.

[Jah Lush]

He got a nice free LV guitar case out of it though and being someone who owns over a thousand guitars he probably needs a spare but I agree the Kohl has got to go.

[Brendan]

I would probably wear makeup for a free guitar case but do you want your patron saint doing it?
