Whatever it says on his passport Gordon he represents the battle between good and evil, he is a saint of the broadest appeal. Palestinians, Muslims and Christians celebrate his feast day.

No matter here I am in Chequers in Stevenage raising a glass of Hardy and Hansons Olde Trip (a Greene King ersatz brew I know) to the ambitious Cappadocian bishop who brings more good than evil to humankind.

I'll have to go matey, the sword dancing is about to start

Maybe if on the 23rd April, George had slain the dragon that was in charge of the country in the 1980s people would remember him a bit more,

QUIZ | BIRTHDAY BARD - CBCNews.ca
No I didnt cheat, I didn't this one either. The school I went to till I was 14, the headmaster an ex WW1 thought that all boys should be brought up military fashion, we spent most of the time when we should have been diong English formation marching up and down the central hall, he kept me in after school one day for not having shiny clogs, and father who was going on night shift at Bristol Aicraft had been waiting for me to go an errand, I got clouted for being late, towd him it were pop heys, so he said next time pop comes down our street I want to know, dashed in next Saturday and said dad pops coming, father went to front door fanged hold of pop by the throat and said if tha wants his clogs polished then tha pays furt polish, until then if thurs any moor o this stupid nonsense or I'll knock thi block off. We heard no more from pop about shiny clogs or shoes. So I never eard o this ear chap called Shakespear, was never taught wher all them twiddly bit go either (,,,..::;; " ) an such, don't know what nouns, verbs or adjectives are either, to me words are just words I write as I speak. When I'm reading anything I don't notice them any way.
I did read at one time he was a plagarist and he didn't write anything.

"Paddy's Day" Guinness (the company, not our esteemed member) has highjacked the day and it's just one humongous marketing campaign and opportunity for them. And the tat they give away probably keeps more than a couple of chinese give away factories in all year production.

Retlaw...for someone who doesn't do all those things(parts of speech)...you write more legibly and readably than the guy from over the borders.
I rarely have any bother deciphering what your post is about.
