Just thought I would take a chance and wish Dr Moody,MH and any HL'er with a bit of Irish in them be it blood or Guinness or what ever your having your self.(mind you ,a lot of us Irish folk have Guinness for blood) A happy Paddys day.
Here is a little home grown Dublin melancholy and love ..
I will be in the Harp Bar in Vigo tomorrow if anyone fancys dropping in for a pint.

With a surname like Whelan it'd be extremely rude not to get spangled tomorrow, whilst watching some mates (lead singer called Ciaran, lol) trash a load of Dropkick Murphys numbers on stage.

I'll be away for a few days doing likewise.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Horrible to have to admit here, but my dad told me that while he was merely a lad at school, he and his mates would all wear orange on St. Pat's Day...I couldn't believe that my own dad would've been that ignorant.
I left my heart in Ballycastle...

I believe that a few generations ago, my great-grandparents were wandering around on a real life Craggy Island and calling themselves by the name of Morrough... so I guess I'd better join in as well.

"That'll be ya man there, Ramone that wee cute lil scouse fella pretending to be Oirish for the night like all dem feckin' secretary and pissed up FHM wanna be looking types"
St. Patrick's : You can't get served at the bar. You can't get in anywhere. The streets are filled with people in over sized green hats and you can't get a cab home. Everyone is enjoying the crack - literally!!
St. George's day : Crap.Like a wet winters Sunday in Birmingham.

Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

Some Irish humour for you .... should be in the joke section maybe but here goes...
*NO OFFENCE TO NAMES AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN EDITED*
before the copy paste joby...
***
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!"
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."
***
Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do, Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."
Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.
"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.
Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."
The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."
***
Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.
"Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"
"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney. "Where are ye callin' from?"

An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut . The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.
He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"
"Just water," says the priest.
The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"
The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!"

Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman."
"Oh yeah?" said Charlie, "And how did this one end?"
"When it was over," Mike replied, "She came to me on her hands and knees.
"Really," said Charles, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?"
She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken."

Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mary.
He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.
He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.
In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room.
She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?"
Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing?"
"Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.

Happy Day!
