St Patricks Day Who Is Getting Right on It

[gruntage]

neither Catholic (or christian at all) nor Irish, but will enjot this evening down the local. always a good excuse to enjoy a 'work' night.

however going out tomorrow night for my friends birthday may prove that i am not 18 any more! i will ache badly on thursday.

if you're not irish, you shouldn't celebrate it- simple.............by all means go out and have a LAFF but don't pretend you're irish while doing it- makes you look like a ****

I suppose the problem is that there isn't a national dress or specific piece of clothing that you can wear on St Patrick's Day, apart from the horrendous leprechaun garb that gets dished out. So yes, if you wear that then you look like a complete twat. Even if you are Irish. But standing there in your normal clothes makes it a little harder to get involved in any party, so i guess thats how people fall into that 'pretending' trap.

And some people are just twats, of course.

Won't do it -- it validates the plastic Paddy stereotype -- and I'm Irish enough to carry a Republic passport, if I weren't so cheap.

I'd no sooner do the whole wearin'-of-the-green thing than turn up at school on Martin Luther King's birthday wearing 30 pounds of dope-rope bling, unlaced Nikes, a baseball cap and carrying a 40 oz. bottle of malt liquor.

Some years I wear black to school in memory of An Gorta Mór....

Nope, just another day.

I don't have a problem with pubs making a few extra quid from doing the Irish theme night but fail to see any justification for the Irish tricolour hanging from any public building in England.

As for St. George's Day, there seems to be a gradual move from passive to active in the English population, and that is to be applauded. For me it's got to the stage where I might just make the effort to do the roast beef, Yorkshire pudidng and some locally brewed beet to wash it down.

 

[sydney]

ooh what does beet taste like........

And you'd be right to do so.

Though I'll have some beer. Home-brewed beet may be a bit on the trippy side.
