Happy St. George's Day

A Happy St. George's Day to all.

Here is a mini saga to celebrate:


St. George and the Dragon

"Save my daughter Sir Knight," the headman said.
Facing the fire-breather, he slew the dragon, cleaved the damsel's chains.
"Think you're so big with that sword!" she mocked.
Six sword flat swipes 'cross her snowy moons smarted, then lengthwise six stripes more.
"That red cross looks good," he mused.

Nice one. These Levantine mercenaries know a thing or two - like how to become patron saint of England, Bulgaria and Georgia (NB: the main city of Georgia is not Atlanta).

Personally I support the dragon.

Yes, it's sad they were hunted to extinction.

Not bad for a Roman soldier who wasn't born in any of the three countries.

P.S. Your support of Flopsy is admirable.

Yes indeed, happy ST George's Day! We should celebrate our Patron Saint!

Oh dear, Oh dear. I hear Miss TB is making a space in her schedule.

It wasn't just the hunting. They required a regular food supply of virgins.

I shall celebrate it by listening to St. George and the Dragon Net

A man comes to a "St. George and Dragon" pub in the middle of the night. It's raining. He knocks on the door.
An old matron appears. "What do you want? We are full. We have no space for bums like you!" And she goes back inside.
The man stands there for a while, then knocks again.
The old matron appears again. "You again? What do you want?"
"Could I speak to George this time, please?"
