Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

St Paddy's was supposed to be when I was born. I was 11 days late (my poor mum!) and have been late for everything else ever since. ;D

Happy Oirish day.

Not entirely safe for work, contains rude Irish language and nasty pictures.

Not really out of the ordinary for the Irish, so to say ;)

Happy St Pats all!

I saw some people in green plastic hats decorated with shamrocks at about 11am...

And they sounded about as Irish as Sean Connery does in The Untouchables ;)

No I wasn't, though I did laugh out loud when I saw some bald (probably shaved) guy waiting for a tram with the whole of his head and face painted as the Irish flag :lol: :lol:

Personally I have never understood why the English celebrate St Patrick's day more than their own saints day - anyone else?

It's the fear of a larger, more successful, more powerful nation to be too triumphalist about it. It grates less on most people when a smaller nation (when I say "small" I mean in terms of international clout as well) goes all patriotic. Essentially, I think the English feel they have a lot less to prove.
And they're reluctant to be associated with the kind of people who have "hijacked" the flag - i.e. BNP and similar charmers.

But all this is a side issue. What it really comes down to is Guinesss, and lots of it ;D .

That's pretty much what I was thinking.....

At festivals abroad people take flags of their own country's to put up next to their tents so I thought we could do that at Wacken in August, but my mate goes "Ooh noo people might trample on our tents!"

This annoys me somewhat :|

Oh well!

Would you put up a "Union Jack" or a "St George" flag Libby?.

St George involves red and white. St Patrick involves lots of green.

Green is a better colour, therefore we celebrate it.

St George
Ah, when we lived in England, I always found that English friends thought the "Union Jack" was now a "Right Wing" flag and not a British flag any longer, I always saw the "Union Jack" as a Prodie bigots thing, either way, arse holes seem to have hi-jacked the Union Jack :urff:
