    Great song but this lyric has always bugged me: "What was it all for; For the weather or the Battle of Agincourt." The Battle of Agincourt was fought on St. Crispin's Day (25th October) and not St. Swithin's Day.

    The weather's going to be like this for 40 days? I think I'll unsubscribe to his newsletter and his ideology in general...

    Worst saint ever
    He supposedly performed just one miracle during his lifetime - making an old lady's eggs whole again after workmen smashed them while building a church.

    It was pouring rain here a while ago, followed by sweltering, stultifying heat. I'm sweating already, and I'm just about to hop on my bike to go home. That won't help...

    Old Crispy, he is worth a prayer or two. He could work a miracle could Crispin. Patron saint of breakfast cereals.

    To me it's just a happy Friday. Nothing different to any other Friday.
