...lol, the lady looks as though she doesn't really know what's going on (how very English). Are you going to post for Saint Andrew, Saint David, and Saint Tamanend? What I mean to ask is, are you celebrating a person or a nation?

I guess I should have said "Huzzah for England!"

Yes, she's completely clueless!! ;-) Do you mean that English girls are that way, or that English women are depicted that way in art?

I would have posted for Saint David's Day had I known about it in enough time. Who the heck is St. Tamanend??

Huzzah for England? You may say so, and therefore balance of praise will be maintained; your praise will fall in place of mine. I love my country, but do believe that patriotism - or rather chauvinism - is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

Do you like the stories behind the saints? There, I can easily relate :)

St. Tamanend was the patron saint of America..??

Well, I may not be English, and I've never even so much as set foot there, but I like England.

I love my country too, and I consider patriotism to be a virtue. Chauvenism, however, is a vice.

Yes, I do! I've always been interested in the people in history, rather than the deadly-dull dates and facts.

I've never heard of him -- and apparantly neither has Wikipedia. Perhaps he's the patron saint of tamarinds? ;-P

Saint Tamanend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamanend). Seems he's been revoked by the Catholic church, along with Saint Christopher. Bother.

puh-leeeze!

Oh how ridiculous. I wonder what iniquitous crime he committed to deserve such a fate. *rolls eyes*
