Have a great day everyone
A little funny that the Church are getting it in the neck again this week (and deservedly so) and today we celebrate the introduction of Christianity to Ireland, and the fact we are great (Irish)
Not much into this national day of drinking myself..................................sorry
Have to say, I enjoy the craic in the States. From left to right, beginning of the session, to the end...:cyclops:

Really? You in enjoy half our population going out and acting like the giant douchebags that they think is Irish? I used to like it now it just ****es me off.Quote:

I like to call it father ted day:bottle:
Nothing says we're Irish more than getting hammered celebrating a Welshman.
I brought my young son to see the parade in Dublin City Centre.
Its certainly more of an attempt at a carnival atmosphere these days in comparison to the pathetic floats we all had to endure as kids.
The parades origins of course relate back to the strict sense of a "military parade". How short a F*cking parade would that have been?
Spent my Paddys day in Vegas and I have to say I agree with you,especially as most of these morons thought we were English when we were talking to themQuote:

I think its great that its latched onto around the world, anything htat identifies your country in some way has to be a good thing. From christchurch to san francisco to london this "day" is celebrated. It certainly cant be doing any harm to Ireland.
