Cover Your Ears. Gness is Swearing

[gness]

A charity I support was giving a talk tonight. St.Pancras Past and Present. I love architecture, history and St.Pancras so just up my street I thought.
Now this chap gives two talks. The aforementioned one and St.Pancras the Saint.
Some eejit on the committee booked the wrong one!
I now know more than I ever wanted to about St. Sodding Pancras, his mum and dad, his beheading, Augustine, Constantine, Dicwhatsittine, Pope Gregory and the rise of Christianity in Rome.
By 8.15 I was chewing the chair in front of me and when, at 8.30 they had a non-alcoholic refreshment break, I was out the back door, in my car and flying up the A14 before you could say tickets please.
Holy Mother! My day went from bad to worse.
The red is open and I may well finish the bottle.

Was it really the wrong one, gness? - or did they want to hear about his saintliness?!

[gness]

They booked the wrong one Boxy. The station was decided upon at a meeting,I know it was, things got mixed up and they booked the flipping saint.

Oh bless you gness!......just enjoy your 'red'........

[Jeza]

Know how you feel gness. Please pass the wine.

[boxtops]

LOL

(anyway, why name the railway station after him?)

[gness]

Boxy. I bloody well know why they named the station after him!

"Holy Mother!"
Methinks Our Lady might not be with you tonight after your outburst. Ten Aves after you have finished the bottle might help to change her mind.

[boxtops]

well, tell us then!

[gness]

A friend once said she wished she was Irish, Mike. We know how to curse,swear and involve every saint we have ever had to pray to.

[gness]

Boxy. It was a whole hour! One whole, flaming hour and could still be going on for all I know.

great buildings both the hotel and the train shed, pity the udercroft had to go just to get fast trains to france.
what the blazes can you waffle about the saint?

[gness]

Baza. I will get you a ticket for his next talk! St.Pancras died at fourteen. I felt I had been there for his whole lifetime. I wanted the station.:-(

[boxtops]

You can't get to Rome from St Pancras, anyway.

Funnily enough I visited an Italian version of St Pancras last year - a delightful place.

I have many photographs which I could share with you ...

Have you tried saying the Rosary in full?

gness when i used to take school children on tours around the station st pancras was covered in no time, he was a lad who was killed some years ago, they seemed happy with that and wanted to explore the hotel cellar.

[gness]

Boxy. You would have got there in my car tonight, the mood I was in.
Dave. I would love to see your photos. Just no pics of the Saint. He is imprinted on my mind after the number I saw tonight.
Mike. I have said the Rosary, led the Rosary and almost cocked it up at a funeral rehearsal last year. I can Holy Mary with the best of them.

the Old St Pancras church is rather nice. The station looks a lot better since it was spruced up, and so does King's Cross. I forget whether it is Boudicca or Harry Potter who is buried under platform 10.

[boxtops]

Boudicca, jno!

[baza]

jno it is not harry p but i cant spell boud....
