St Kilda, pray for us

Well, perhaps not exactly... but I had to laugh and laugh when I saw this reference on my mate BB's blog... especially as assignment deadlines are closing in around me (and most of my student friends) - he is just the kind of patron saint that a girl could use right now :-)

ST EXPEDITUS

Also known as Elpidius

Possibly legendary. Unclear whether his name led to his association with expeditious matters, or the other way around. This association led to his becoming the patron of people who had to deliver things on time.
