Dragon fire burned my grandma's hair piece.

Um.

I think thats all. Oh, I also believe that Dragons are at war with the leprechauns for various pots of gold. Which doesn't really effect me but makes me uneasy all the same.

I think it can be finalized, now.

It's silly that we have St George as our Saint. He certainly never fought a dragon, and the closest he ever got to England was somewhere around Turkey.

We should have St Alban instead.
