Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

And a happy St Paddy’s day to one and all, especially to readers from Ireland and Nigeria. (You did know he was the patron saint of Nigeria, didn’t you?)

From the old Irish prayer:

May the Road rise with you;
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your face,

And, until we meet again,
May the Lord keep you in the hollow of his Hand.

A good Wikipedia article on the most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, founded by our good friend George III, fresh from losing the US colonies:

The regular creation of knights of St Patrick lasted until 1922, when most of Ireland became independent as the Irish Free State. While the Order technically still exists, no knight of St Patrick has been created since 1934.

Have a pint or two for me!

    I have sent you an email stating that I am NOT astromuffy. This notice would be on mabtw board but Dickhead won’t allow my post advising of this to be displayed. The next time you think that a poster is me, why don’t you consider asking me before assuming that you are right! Also, just because someone has an astrological bent to their username doesn’t automatically mean that it is me because plenty of people are into it.
