Bit of a riddy. There should be a paid week fortnight month off work but only for people who voted YES. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily if you're Catholic, but definitely if you're a Calvinist! My recollection is that the original sin is not given much thought in Catholicism, but it's been a long time since I learned any of this tbf.

The catechism focuses on not where the sin originates from but instructs us to put our faith in the person that provides redemption. Or something along these lines... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to be a national Day of kindness but also a day for getting pished, maybe to 2 things go together. Do you do anything to mark the day? I made a cake yesterday and handed it in to my 2 elderly neighbours one of whom has had 2 strokes this year and isn't keeping well, today an ambulance was out side, I hope he got to enjoy it before his trip to hospital. Reveal hidden contents Everyone else who has had the cake has been fine Reveal hidden contents So far The only good thing about it is that in the glorious public sector it’s a holiday. I started today by watching Homes Under The Hammer, the went a walk. So exciting. Good skills on the cake for elderly neighbours. Well done you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a weird twist we voted to bin some privilege holidays for additions to annual holiday entitlement. We binned Glasgow fair friday and St Andrew's day and kept September Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one felt different tho because of the card so I opened it and as you can see I wasn't disappointed. I’m not overly patriotic but it annoys me that the card shops (pre covid) would always have St Patrick’s day cards but never St Andrews ones 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realised any LAs took it as a public holiday. Horrible time if year for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's focused on Christmas and the weather's shite. If we switched our saint to Mary Magdalene, we'd get a day off in July and we'd boil a huge amount of piss. St Ninian used to be our patron saint and his feast day is in June but some medieval King decided he was a bit obscure and it was more swanky to have an Apostle. Probably as a GIRUY to England "Oh, you've got some poncy Turkish lizard slayer? Well we've got an Apostle.." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Ireland it used to be a day people would attend mass and do your usual village fete type stuff. St Andrews day was for Kirk and Boys Brigade. Now it seems to be a Google Doodle and people trying to think of something "Scottishy" that is not already done on Hogmanay and Burns Night. Without religion its really a nothing day in Scottish culture but the other 3 "regions" kind of expect us to make as big of a deal of it as they do their saints day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
