Re: Happy St Georges Day
Some little known facts about George........
England ditched St Edward the Confessor for a new patron saint and, in 1415 (the year of the battle of agincourt), made April 23 a national feast day (though one possibly without chicken tikka masala). George is also the patron saint of Portugal, Germany, Lithuania, soldiers and - less obviously - skin diseases and syphilis.  ops: George is also my fathers name and his birthday is April 23rd

Re: Happy St Georges Day
Thank you JANET,BAZF and CEEJACHE for bringing some very interesting and informative points to our attention I have learn a few facts from you
 It is a shame that St Georges day is getting lost in political correctness and as a result a lot of the history and honour are NOT being pass on to future generations  It is also a shame that some people can not bring such informative points to our attention and instead choose to Judge and bring down Instead of as JANET and BAZF who can inform and build up Thanks againPS Thanks kipax for the negative karma with no comment I choose to only give positive karma for good posts........As i think i'm man enough to just ignore the ones I dont like................ |
