RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted October 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2019 St Patrick is claimed by local legend to have been a Christian born and brought up in Banwen, a village not far from Coelbren, and, as a teenager, captured by Irish pirates raiding the Romano-British market town of Nidum, Neath, and taken as a slave to Ireland. From here he escaped to Gaul, where he became a monk and asked to be returned to Ireland to convert it's people. I tend to give some credence to this sort of legend as I can't see why anyone in a small village miles from the action would make it up! IIRC Geraldus Cambrensis mentions it so it was already established by the 12th century. There were no snakes in Ireland anyway, except for some 2-legged ones. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) As the 747 climbs to cruising height the captain comes on the tannoy and says "Welcome aboard this flight from London to New York. We will be flying at a height of OH MY GOD!" Then silence for about a minute. Then the captain comes on the tannoy again and says "Apologies ladies and gentlemen, the stewardess spilt some very hot coffee in my lap and its made a mess of the front of my trousers." Then a voice piped up from the back of the cabin "Nothing like the mess its made of the back of mine."

As the 747 thunders along it's Great Circle out over the North Atlantic, the Captain apologises and makes some general announcements about the ETA at Kennedy, weather conditions in New York and so on. Then, forgetting to switch the tannoy off, he engages in a conversation with the co-pilot. 'Got anything planned when we land in New York'. 'Yes, Captain, I've booked a room in a posh hotel and a table in a good restaurant and I'm gonna take that new stewardess out for a meal, then take her back to the hotel, strip her naked, and then I'm gonna (for the sake of decency I will leave this to your imaginations but he's got a pretty full and interesting, not to mention acrobatic, night in mind, which he unknowingly describes to the shocked passengers in full detail!)...'. The stewardess, her face bright red with embarrassment, rushes up the aisle of the passenger cabin, to be stopped by a sweet little old lady, who says 'no need to hurry, dear, he's going to take you for a meal in a good restaurant first'! 1 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
