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.

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?

    • Why would mice move? It’s not so much they move as multiply and spread    copy and paste rather than cut and paste  mice can and should be dealt with.  But not easily or with guarantees  i would say most people in se22 reading this have mice. Whether they know it or not 
    • Hi Victoria  Are you still looking for a bed? I have an antique,  queen size bed with head and footboard that you can have for free. There is also a deep, sprung mattress in good condition,  also free. If you are interested,  I can send some photos  Let me know.  Kind regards  Nettie       
    • We have a good one if you’re still looking, happy to sell for cheap. 
    • If a food outlet has a mouse problem then it's likely to stay there until the outlet runs out of food, unless it's adjacent to other food outlets. Why would the mice move? And mice can be dealt with. If you are prepared to pay for it. Which, with some proprieters, is a very big if. I have no evidence that the problem has reoccured in its new inception, although obviously good owners keep the focus on good hygiene. You win the battle but the war continues.
