    Medardus

    Saint Medardus or St Medard (French: Médard or Méard) (456–545) was the Bishop of Vermandois who removed the seat of the diocese to Noyon.

    Life

    St Medardus was born at Salency, Oise, in Picardy. His father, Nectaridus, was a noble of Frankish origin, while his mother Protagia was Gallo-Roman. The Roman Martyrology includes the fanciful tale that Saint Gildard, Bishop of Rouen, was his brother, "born on the same day, consecrated bishops on the same day, and on the same day withdrawn from this life." A pious fiction links his childhood to his future bishoprics: "He often accompanied his father on business to Vermand and Tournai, where he frequented the schools, carefully avoiding all worldly dissipation".

    At the death in 530 of his patron in the Church, Bishop Alomer, when Medard was 33, he was chosen to succeed him as bishop of Vermand due to his exemplary piety and his knowledge, considerable for that time. Despite his objections, he found himself obliged to accept the heavy responsibilities of the position, to which he devoted himself zealously.

    Another Perfect Day

    by: Motorhead

    Out to lunch
    Speak your piece
    Good and drunk
    Back on the street
    What you see is what you get
    No matter what you say
    No time for anything
    To take the pain away
    You sure ain't the chosen few
    I know you've turned a trick or two
    You pulled the deuce this time
    Another perfect day
    Golden boy
    Take your chance
    You're a clockwork toy
    You're a dime a dance
    The truth is only black and white
    No shade of gray
    It's easy answers babe
    There is the hell to pay
    You know it's just the same to you
    Ain't nothing you can do
    No chance to change it now
    Another perfect day
    Total war
    Blow your stack
    Say no more
    You know you can't go back
    You're acting dumb baby, you don't know
    The places you can go
    You know you tell the truth
    In a different way
    No court of law would find for you
    No matter what you do
    Could be the perfect crime
