St David's Day

Happy St David's Day everyone! For those who don't know who St David's is and why it's happy that it's his day READ ON!
St. David is the patron saint of Wales, in the words of Wikipedia "David contrasts with such other national patron saints as England's Saint George, in that relatively much is known about his life" Or as I'd translate it "David contrasts with such other national patron saints as England's Saint George, in that he actually did stuff with his life and wasn't just made up to impress the French ladies". He setup a bunch of monasteries, denounced Pelagianism and when he preached to a load of people and some couldn't hear him properly he made the ground he stood on rise up. Possibly. That or he asked them all to move over to a hill so he could shout down at them. Frankly I think the latter is more impressive as it shows common sense and an ability to get Welsh people to move. Kudos to St David!

I claim originality on posting Happy St davids Day, and informing people about him, however Mark you have slacked by not posting a picture of a daffodil or leek on your website!!

Dydd Dewi Sant hapus! :)

David

pfft.

preaching religion is SO Old Testament.

killing a dragon though... now THAT is hardcore.

Sparticus

Killing a dragon isn't hardcore, IT'S MYTHOLOGICAL. I could take you down my local and introduce you to ten people who have all slain a dragon and gotten the princess' hand in marriage ("But then it turned out she was an even worse dragon! *hick* Didn't you say you'd get this round?"). Preaching to people maybe Old Testament but so is killing thousands with a donkey's jawbone. THAT'S HARDCORE.

Mr.Moony

Dragons are people too yer know. You religious bastard's killed them all! ALL OF THEM!! THEY ARE ALL GONE!!!

Benjamin

That's what they want you to think....

Mr.Moony

No it isnt you dragon slaying whore!!

ted

hahaha! :D

Benjamin

Poor Mr. Moony, trapped inside a fantasy world of his own imagination...

Sparticus

Right. Everyone. CALM DOWN. This is a website, not some slag off other people forum. So if people could stop slagging of St George for killing a dragon, or St David for not killing a dragon, or Seb for not owning a dragon, or Ben for not supporting Seb in his quest to own a dragon.
Calm down.

Mr.Moony

Hes just mad cause i pwn'd him. Like a gloveee.....

Benjamin

Like a glove? Where did that come from? I forgot, it was quite an in-vogue phrase for a while.

And apologies for my comment, I didn't mean to sound properly offensive, more, erm, jokingly offensive :rolleyes:

David

'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective' wasn't it?

Benjamin

Hehehe, what a silly film :D
