tenacious_b Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 This question is best answered by an excerpted conversation between King Arthur and a Peasant named Dennis from Monty Python and the Holy Grail from 1975: A - "how do you do good lady. i am arthur, king of the britains. whose castle is that? PW - "king of the who?" A - "the britains." PW - "who are the britains?" A - "well we all are. we are all britains. and i am your king"
KB Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 Not sure who the patron saint of Australia is. Lisa McCune I think. Surely it would be John Wood?..........................
cornerstone Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Surely it would be John Wood?.......................... You're not kidding - he's already had his first "miracle" turning wine in water! (I can do a similar sort of trick with beer, but well...) John Wood, 10-time Gold Logie nominee, and Buddha's Wine - turning wine into water for CARE Australia [Totally OT; I was intrigued the other day that I wrote 'go Gary, go' when the ad is clearly 'no, Gary no'. Was that some kind of weird ex-smoker Freudian slip?! Does my mind see that ad and go, "go on Gary, have a smoke for us all!" ]
offshore Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Not sure who the patron saint of Australia is. Lisa McCune I think. Nah you're both not even close, The patron saint of Australia, is undoubtably Shane Warne! Go Warney.
Chronus Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Nah you're both not even close, The patron saint of Australia, is undoubtably Shane Warne! Go Warney. I thought it was te crocodile hunter Steve Irwin (?). Crikey!
Chronus Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Yeah, St. Patrick was born in Scotland (although did apparently die in Ireland) but St. Andrew didn't set foot in Scotland while he was alive, indeed it is not reliably established that his bones even made it that far! You have to take all these legends with a large pinch of salt.... But I thought St. George slayed all those dragons so our civilization could grow to what it has now become! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Giorgios never made it to England.
cornerstone Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 But I thought St. George slayed all those dragons so our civilization could grow to what it has now become! I think he missed Margaret Thatcher though Giorgios never made it to England. Are you sure?
