Many here won't celebrate it until the 17th of March, so I cannot really comment there - unless I'm missing something.

In 2008 the Roman Catholic Church celebrated the holiday on March 15 to avoid a conflict with Holy Week. Maybe he is just having a flashback?

True kev :up:,

But i totally forgot it was on tuesday, I drive 62 miles to work in the mornings so i can't really drink the night before. Its always better for me at the weekends

Anyway its a good excuse to start a St Paddy Thread

Quote:
Two Irishmen, Patrick Murphy and Shawn O'Brian grew up together and were lifelong friends. But alas, Patrick developed cancer, and was dying. While on his deathbed, Patrick called to his buddy, Shawn, "O'Brian, come 'ere. I 'ave a request for ye." Shawn walked to his friend's bedside and kneels.

"Shawny ole boy, we've been friends all our lives, and now I'm leaving 'ere. I 'ave one last request fir ye to do."

O'Brian burst into tears, "Anything Patrick, anything ye wish. It's done."

"Well, under me bed is a box containing a bottle of the finest whiskey in all of Ireland. Bottled the year I was born it was. After I die, and they plant me in the ground, I want you to pour that fine whiskey over me grave so it might soak into me bones and I'll be able to enjoy it for all eternity."

O'Brian was overcome by the beauty and in the true Irish spirit of his friend's request, he asked, "Aye, tis a fine thing you ask of me, and I will pour the whiskey. But, might I strain it through me kidneys first?"
and the final one from me for today

Quote:
An Irishman and an American were sitting in the bar at Shannon Airport.

"I've come to meet my brother," said the Irishman. "He's due to fly in from
America in an hour's time. It's his first trip home in forty years".

"Will you be able to recognize him?" asked the American.

"I'm sure I won't," said the Irishman, "after all, he's been away for a long time".

"I wonder if he'll recognize you?" said the American.

"Of course he will," said the Irishman. "Sure, an' I haven't been away at all".

We could always celebrate St Pancake day. Making pancakes, tossing them on our loved ones faces and watch them running around screaming with pancake and syrup on their faces.

hmmmm Pancakes.

The only reason I'll know it's St Patricks day is when google change their google images each year (day of celebration).

What annoys me more than the British celebrating this day like idiots, is the Americans. What is up with dyeing the river in Chicago green. Surely that's not environmentally friendly even if you do use a natural colouring. Idiots.

Nevertheless, I'm too busy to celebrate it this year
