So, it's the 1st of March. Here in the UK, particularly in Wales, that means St David's Day.

Okay, so I had this epic discussion of the etymology of the name David, it's use through the centuries, and stuff like that.

Then I went and pressed 'shutdown' on my computer, rather than 'switch user'...

So, you get this instead.

St David is the patron saint of Wales. He was a 6th century bishop. He was canonized (formally recognized by the Vatican) in 1120.

I can recreate the other stuff from memory if there's sufficient demand. Or you can just go look most of it up on places like Wikipedia.
