I understand it’s St Patrick’s Day today. I nearly missed that, it was only a reference on someone’s LJ that reminded me. Well done, Ireland, well done. He was Welsh, you know.

As patron saint of Ireland, I understand he shares that distinction with co-patrons Columbo and Dr Kildare.

Who knew? Not me.

And St George wasn't English......

I suggest a strongly worded letter to the Dail Mail.

I was reading yesterday that one or two other saints have been suggested to replace George, including St Alban.

No, I think you misheard, Nigeria's great-grandmother once rubbed up against someone Irish on the omnibus and ever since then Nigeria has been stumbling around in a ridiculous green hat, babbling about 'the craic' and how it's always *felt* Irish as it has a 'poetic celtic soul'

He was Welsh, you know

He (in his autobiography) says that he was a Roman. He seems to have lived in or near Birdoswald fort, which is in Cumbria.
