I'm with the school of thought that says dump St George who was a foreign bugger (if he even existed) and get Edward the confessor back in to do the job. He did a perfectly good job until some bugger changed it (Edward 3rd was it? Bastard). Always turned up on time etc.

Pious bugger and you can even visit his grave at westminster abbey.  happy088

I suspect most saints are foreign in one way or another ( rubschin:). Mind you there is a school in Liverpool called after St Julie eeek:

What next? St Kevin?

I dimly recall that hte last Pope had a sort of Saints clearout. Got rid of lots.

How does that work then?

"Good Morning St Hilary. You recall that we made you a saint? Good. Well you're fired. You can just be an ordinary dead person now.OK? NEXT!"

Brian Patten.I quite liked it, but that's just me.

I had a very odd experience with him and Roger McGough once (though not in my kitchen I hasten to add). It concerned a redhead eyes:

He's the patron saint of chav drivers. He's a bit overworked though.
