    Are there any true English ones?



    I would say St. Gerard if we're gonna have just any old Johnny Foreigner.

    Why - cos I'm named after him.


    St. Christopher is famous too but he's Greek or summat.

    Default George

    Saint Christopher got the sack by the Vatican as he was too far fetched. Coming from that crew it is a bit rich don't you think? I prefer the cross of Saint George to the Union flag. When the bolsheviks came to power they created May Day and told the workers that was their holiday as they had so many saints they were never in work.England and saint George go well together in my view,makes one dream of Knights and maidens.

    We may as well stick with the half-Turkish, half-Palestinian fella then.

    Dont forget, the Welsh are from Scotland,the Scots are from Ireland,and the English.......from Belgium,Holland,Germania,etc,etc! So,having St George seems to have some sort of logic!(i.e. none)

    Default Orcs

    The Orcs came from Orkney and settled along the coast of Morayshire spreading out into Scotland eventually. We live in troubled times
