"Sts" is a remarkably ill-looking way to abbreviate "Saints" (or 'Saint... and Saint...'), and you would think that a mediaevalist, even in the field of gender studies, would know and use the conventional "S.S."

I'm going to stop spamming LJ in a moment, but I was just listening to the Archers and have the following observations to make:

Phil's organ technique appears to have gone down hill in the last few years, and it's odd, given that there was supposed to be an unusually large congregation present (including Joe Grundy and Jazzer - long story), that there appeared to be only three people singing 'We plough the fields and scatter'... Not as if it's an obscure hymn, and you'd think the BBC would have enough recordings of hymns to produce something more convincing!
