Happy St Davids Day folks. Just a shame we don't get a half day anymore :) |

We used to? Or was that just in school? Some of our fellow Welsh people are pushing for a national holiday and building it to a big cultural day. It'll never happen. We are a useless country filled with useless people. |

It was only in school, not the general working population. St.David's Day sucks dogs balls by the way. Just thought I'd mention that.....its on big joke :P |

Yep, only schools... Sad they got rid of it really. St David's day has a lot more cultural symbolism than, say, St. George's day. It's almost like a mini-Eisteddfod and at least there are some cultural trappings such as welsh cakes, cawl and welsh ladies' hats. What exactly happens on St. George's day? :P |

St Georges Day.....errrrr.....far to complicated for a simplistic welsh brain to comprehend. :P |

Who the fuck is St. David? And St. George? Have I fallen into some kind of vortex ? |

King Matjaz was a good king. He gave only good coins. They didn’t know yet the other money. Gold times were really in that time because of that. Under bushy limes our dads were dancing every day and drinking wine. King Matjaz was Slovene king. He was chosen by nation on Seint Mary’s field and on Krn Castle he had his throne. At night and day open door castle and every poor man could obtain mercy and justice by request. Because the king was arch ruler the other kings emoted him. Once many enemies come from West. His army was destroyed in a bloody fight. Because he was fair king he wasn’t killed but when he was running away from the enemy a rock opened in Reeicah. He escaped there and rock hid him from the enemies. There he is resting now with his heroes and when his beard will his grow up nine times around the table mountain will give him back. Then he will rule happy Slovene people. The choused one has more time have a luck to get to him. At Reeicah it was black Smith and that be was looking something for hammer, but he found a hole through which one he came to some other world. He saw king Matjaz at the oval table sitting and sleeping. Fat bag of gold coins was on table. The black Smith it took it and from that time he was rich man. You can see a hole the last day of the year Miroslav Djakovia, 6.A, Jakob Aljaz Primary School, Kranj |
