I love this, and thanks to Ye Olde Motherboarde for compiling the calendar!

Can we add the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18-25) or is this strictly about individual days?

Apologies if this question has been asked in former years, I'm still rather new!

My thought was "How odd to have two saints with much similar names!"

(Truro's RC church is jointly dedicated to St Piran)

Thanks for that.

But you left "England" on the end. Whatever the status of Cornwall now, in Piran's time Cornwall was NOT England.

But thanks for correcting his name.

Happy IPA Day, everyone!
Not that most Americans who enjoy beer need encouragement; it seems to be about the only style of beer we can get half the time. Still, as far as fake holidays go, it's not the worst. At least it's only trying to sell something I'd probably buy anyway.

My wife, Zeke on the Ship, no longer posts here but she has her birthday today. She's teaching and grading papers all day (nearly ten hours) and we shall be partying all night starting with an Italian dinner followed by a visit to an Irish-American pub with live music.

She is in a nice cool classroom now, MB!

Summary-- Roseanne and Dan freak out their prissy neighbor Kathy by staging a fake disemboweling. Dan lies in a dead faint on a table with offal bought from the meat department spilling form his gut, and Roseanne complains she will never get the mess clean. While Roseanne menaces Kathy, Dan climbs off the table, creeps up behind Kathy and offers her a slab of liver that dangles from his belly.

Classic.

Oh, forgive me, Alan, I'll have to have someone post that.

Anybody want to add that to the list this month?

THANKS!

And while I'm busy raining on your parade, do me a favor and take my birthday off the list, please -- I'd prefer that that little bit of identifying information not be posted publicly.

Just out of curiosity, what does one do to get one's birthday on Motherboard's list?

Either ask here, or send a PM to Motherboarde

Unfortunately we can't go and see 'Saving Mr Banks' on Walt's birthday as I'm at a rehearsal! Oddly enough, I was born the day after he died. Make of that what you will...

Motherboarde has dutifully added it to Feb. 2014

Thank you, Motherboard. My day was unspectacular but nice.

Today was the birthday of the lovely and talented Gill. She had a great weekend and her dear Hugal spoiled her immensely.

Aww, thanks! Saturday was amazing, Hugal bought me a trip to the Harry Potter Studio Tour which was fab. Those of us celebrating a birthday (myself and a five year old boy in full Gryffindor gear) got to open the doors to the great hall.

One who generated much discussion on the boards, in now-oblivionated threads, has departed us.

(I thought this might be added to the Fun Days, as he gave us a lot of fun in his own way, but sorry if it's deemed inappropriate).
