I hate St Paddys day

[Brighton Breezy]

Well, Guiness Day as it should be called. How many of the english people who use today as an excuse to drink guiness and get a free hat have a beer on St Geroge's day? Hardly any. Makes me sick that people jump on the paddy day band wagon but are too scared of being labelled a racist or BNP supporter to celebrtae st george's day.

Didn't even know what date it was 10 years ago. Guess the marketing campaign for Guinness has been very successful.

 

[Dandyman]

Damn right, let's organise a mass kebab fest for good ol' George.

Booze has not, but everyone walking round uni with Guiness hats on has. Sorry.

Nothing wrong with Guiness giving out free beer surely. And if anyone from Bells Whisky is reading then I think you should do the same on St Andrews day. It's a really good idea and I'll help you celebrate if you like.

Private companies spending money on free beer = good. Ken Livingston wasting public money on St Paddy's day and not doing the same for our own patron saint = bad.

But how many Englishman are Catholics? As 92% of Ireland is Catholic, it is right to celebrate

 

[Paddy B]

Couldnt agree more.

The Irish, Welsh & Scots are proud of their country and so they should be,but there seems to apathy amongst us English when it comes to celebrating the day of our Patron saint (although St George was in fact French but dont let that stop us having a good p1ss up!!)

So come April 23rd (yes I had to look it up) lets all have the day off and drink lots of our National beverage - Danish, Czech or German Lager!!!!!

 

[harry_h]

St. Paddy was Scottish of Italian parents.

(Well Tony Cascarino is Irish... )

 

[Lammy]

If St Georges day was a National Holiday (Like St Paddy's day is in Ireland) then it would be massive. It isn't so it isn't! All you get are a few jumble sales and a load of morris dancers

No offence LB

Wrong. The earliest accounts of Saint George put his birthplace as Cappadocia in modern day Turkey.

OK my memory is not what it was and I could not be bothered to do my research.

I'll get my coat

I have no objections to people enjoying paddys day, irish, english, scottish or japanese...its good everyone can have a laigh together. What annoys me is that these same people who 'have to have a Guiness on Paddy's day' dont even know when St George's Day is.

 

[berkshire seagull]

Bloody paddys where is st georges day piss up as its a complete pile of tosh.

 

[Strike]

Yep he was turkish born, but then again a Irish man told me St Patrick was Welsh with Roman Parents. I think we should have a day to be pride in celebrating being English.

BRING ON ST GEORGES DAY.

 

[Kenhead]

I had a phone call from my mate saying come down the pub, i said no as i'm not irish, i'm english! he said so come down and drink guiness and kept badgering me, i just made an excuess that was tired from last night not getting back late from cheatersfield!!

Anyway yeah i reckon we should organise a st.gorge's piss-up weekend in bristol? for st.gorge!

 

[berkshire seagull]

Yeah the bird is out paddying it and my awnser is the same as

Sod all happens here on St David's Day, but on St Patrick's Day our local is draped in Irish flags and everyone is out drinking that horrible black shite.
