Apart from the football, food and alcohol of course. And I really couldn't care less about St Patrick's day although I hope WCC has a very good time. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,060 Posted March 17, 2022 Happy St Paddy's Day! Used to be one of the best night's out in the city when I actually went out in the city. Who gives a **** if the revelers are Irish or not? Any excuse for a party. My mother's parents were both from the island of Ireland so I'll be using it as an excuse to break my week long alcohol abstinence (triggered by getting so smashed at Chelsea last week I can't remember the match at all, which might be a good thing). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is perhaps ironic that the person whose flag forms the English national flag would not be able to get a visa to stay in the UK! I have looked and dragon slaying is not an eligible occupation!

Could not agree more FF as this fascination by the English to celebrate this and Burns Night for that matter always has me asking what they do in Paddyland and Jockland to celebrate St Georges Day. The answer is didderly squat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
