Happy St Patricks Day to all the real Irish people.

Greetings of the day to all the Irish people.





I agree with davek and exclude all the placky ones who claim to be Irish from a relative about 6 generations ago...and Andy Townsend:lol:

fact is I'm probably closer to being Irish than them.
 
should be renamed St Guinness Day. funny i can't remember my grandparents ever celebrating it.

i wonder what genuine irish people think of all these british dickheads running around with massive guinness hats on while pretending to be oirish.

A bird from Dublin that travelled with us for years, would spend 1/2 the day abusing such folk (mainly americans) and telling them in no uncertain terms that they weren't Irish no matter how much of the black stuff they drank/ how big their 'kiss me I'm Irish' badge was/ ginger their hair was under their little green hat. She despised the american pretend Irish lot with a passion. In fact it would happen on any day of the year, over music in a club Kira would be heard shouting "no your not feck'n Irish, your American, now feck off or get me a beer!! "

Pubs have been open on Paddy's Day for as long as anyone can remember. I'm not sure if they were ever closed.

They're only closed on Good Friday and Christmas Day from what I can remember.

As if the pubs in Ireland would ever shut....

But yeah, file St Patrick's day alongside Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and Easter as another load of crap that is force fed down our mouths to make us consume rubbish that we don't really want (apart from ale on St Pats day obviously).

Bit of an odd thing to say seeing as St. Patrick's Day is one of Ireland's 2 national days (along with Easter to commemorate the Easter Rising)

It may be commercialised, but that doesn't make it any less valid than Independence Day in America or Bastille Day in France.
 
Strange, I've never taken any real issue with the Americans and the Brits becoming Irish for the day. When a good portion of the teenagers in the country look like this;

I don't have any problem with a load of Brits and Americans keeping the Irish image alive by dressing up as leprechauns for the day :lol:
