  • balaambalaam Shipmate
    Are any of the old dates carried over?
  • LothlorienLothlorien Glory
    Balaam, at the time of looking at threads etc I was the only AS host onboard. WW is still having treatment for his eyes, and Piglet was in Orkney for her Dad’s funersal. She also was ill. I did not have the time to go through the thread for individual dates and special occasions. As they come up through the year, eg St David’s Day, they can be added. Sorry, there was plenty to occupy me then and other Hosts and Admins were similarly all very busy with their own boards.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    That's a good point - did we actually have a list after the thread was revamped a year or two ago, or do we just add dates as they occur to us?
  • LothlorienLothlorien Glory
    There was a list. It was a ramshackle collection of extremely useless bits of info, many repeated, many wrong. The new thread was a much simplifed list open to additions from anyone. Shipmates are welcome to contribut. Birthdays welcome, but other dates too.
  • LothlorienLothlorien Glory
    March 8. International Womens Day.
  • HuiaHuia Shipmate

    I think it's worth noting that today is the birthday of our esteemed friend Welease Woderwick - many happy returns to him!

    WW, you're missed here more than you know. :cry:
  • PigwidgeonPigwidgeon Shipmate
    Just a reminder that it would be wise to stay away from the Senate today. :wink:

    And a happy Birthday to WW. You are indeed missed. :cry:


  • LothlorienLothlorien Glory
    St Patricks Day here today.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Indeed - wishing everyone, especially the Irish Shippies, a jolly day, and hoping your heads don't hurt too much in the morning!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I remembered this morning that it was on St. Patrick's Day 1991 when I was confirmed in Belfast Cathedral by Bishop Sammy Poyntz* (of blessèd memory).

    * He was known affectionately by the lay clerks as "Bishop Bud", because in his red rochet and chimere he looked a bit like a can of Budweiser ... :mrgreen:
  • LothlorienLothlorien Glory
    Ireland celebrates St Patrick’s Day by beating England by a substantial margin at Rugby.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Well done them (and Scotland, who snuck past the Italians at the last minute)! :smiley:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Today in the anniversary of the martyrdom of Thomas Cranmer. A reluctant martyr but one who in the end died for the principle reform, the victim of a vengeful queen.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    May he rest in peace and rise in glory!
  • RossweisseRossweisse Hell Host, 8th Day Host, Glory
    God bless Archbishop Cranmer and the other Oxford Martyrs! And may his collects never cease to be prayed.

  • Bishops FingerBishops Finger Shipmate
    Bring back the 1549 Masse!

  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Yea and amen!

    If we're not careful, this thread'll get shunted off to Eccles ... :mrgreen:

    Other significant date--at least for my wife and I--our 40th Anniversary on 1 April 2018. We will be celebrating with three of our children and their families in Birch Bay WA . #4 cannot make it. Something about having to preach on Easter.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Congratulations, Gramps and Mrs. Gramps! :smiley:

  • MooMoo Kerygmania Host
    Today is the eleventh anniversary of the Virginia Tech shooting. On the day of the shooting, grieving students collected stones from a nearby building site, one for each victim. When a permanent memorial was planned, it was decided to use this original design. Here is the Virginia Tech memorial It is right in the middle of the campus where most students pass by it every day.

    Right after the shooting, the poet Nikki Giovanni wrote a poem which ended with the lines, "We will prevail, we will prevail." Almost immediately these words appeared on signs all over--university buildings, businesses, private homes. I had never before appreciated the value of slogans, but this was tremendously helpful.

    I don't think anyone who was here that day will ever forget it.

    Goodness, so long and more along similar lines. A good slogan, Moo.
