Paddys Day :angry:

Yet again, i find it amazing that the majority of Manchester seems to have covered itself plastic stick on shamrocks for the national day of a foreign country. I often wonder what would happen if I was to ewalk round the streets of shithole known as "Dublin" in my England football shirt, but i daresay I wouldnt live to tell the tale.

Why then, do I have to be inflicted with this nonsenical practice every year? For instance, today was National Day in Hungary, as much, if not more an important part of our European Allies, than Ireland is. Yet how did anyone NOT Hungarian celebrate this? They didnt probably. But when it comes to Paddsy day. Everyone will drink Guinness, say it tastes better in Dublin even though they cant tell the difference and it costs twice as much.

Monday is "National Day" for Aruba. Will anyone be celebrating? Of course not.

23rd April is St Georges Day? Will there be a big parade around the streets of Cork then? Somehow I think not.

It's because us Irish are like rats.

We get everywhere.

Suprised you hadn't figured that out ages ago, ya daft twat.

Over here, we too celebrate St. Paddy's day. It's pretty much an excuse for us non-Irish-Americans to eat Irish potatoes and get pissed-faced drunk.

I dont need an excuse to get piss faced drunk.

I understand it of yanks, they have no history of their own and have to steal ours. But why do the English want to be Irish so badly? I don't get it, especially since "no dogs, no blacks, no f*king irish" is something that's well within living memory, on the on side, and from the other, didn't some Irish people make a career of slaughtering innocents in England. Baffled.

I was in Leeds for paddy's day in 99, and was just stunned at the greenery and faux-bogness.

I suppose the easiest explanation is thet Engerland really IS the 51st state and it's inmates just have to act like those American spastics, who despite being black, and called abudindaboogadu or blonde haired and called Kawalski....always belive granny came from Galway.

PS, Liam, wear your England shirt in Dublin these days and everyone will be laughing too hard to give you grief. May I remind you that Dublin bookies paid out on England's last Rugby humiliation...BEFORE KICKOFF

Hey! Don't forget those of us who are part-Irish, like me!

...okay, so I'm only 20% Irish by blood, but still.

Oh, it's a strange day... wrote:

Well, it's a better excuse than that of ditzy college girls go to bars with t-shirts that say, "Kiss me, I'm Irish."

I'm not Irish American at all. My mother's Ukranian American and my father has some mix of English and German. I suppose for every Ukranian holiday on the calendar, I could comsume a bottle of vodka.

Other than parades and bar nights, what else do we do on St. Patty's day?

There won't even be one in England because it would offend the Muslims.

Cheers

Irish blood, english hearts what i'm made of, there is no one on earth i'm afraid of, and i will die with both of my hands untied, i've been dreaming of the day when......................

Sorry

And Guinnesssss tastes like bab!

Liam, i think you've actually started a thread that doesn't open with the sentence,

"I've got tickets for ........., anyone else going?"

Well done.

I did three last night!

I just heard on the Radio that there is going to be heavy rain, hail, snow, and freezing winds this weekend. I for one am delighted!

Great, im working all bastard weekend!

Stockport is a complete shithole. I have never denied that. In fact, I'm pretty sure that i've said it more than a few times.

up the Paddys!!!

but going out on Mothers Day is better. bill and danny (&their mums) EVERYWHERE.

i am going to a party ( the people are not irish ) and they are actually having an irish quiz they said come with an irish theme so i am taking a brown package with a big ticking clock in it

Hum, that's tomorrow night.

It is a big deal here as many Australians are of Irish descent.

But havent you got Australia day? is that not enough?

And arent a lot of Australians of Croatian descent? Is August 5th a big deal overthere? I presume not.

Whats Abbo's Day like?

a good night out on the petrol i've heard.

We'll celebrate anything.

We'll? You wont. You'll sit inside and moan on the internet about how new order never play Australia.

We could use another public holiday.

Maybe so many Englaish celebrate it 'cos St Patrick was born in England. (Possibly born in Scotland or Rome, but definatly not Ireland)

Personnaly I couldn't give a toss about the day, dispite being 50% Irish

Everyone celebrates Paddy's day because it's a laugh.

No one actually gives a fuck about the day itself, it's just a fun way of promoting Guinness and bad singing for people who don't do it all the time.

And what the fuck is wrong with that?

Nothing, that's what.

But don't let that stop you being a moaning twat.

But why are we, in England, celebrating another nations nati onal holiday, when we barely celebrate our own?

Thats just wrong.

Ok point taken there. Do you celebrate Christmas though Liam? Dunno if you are big on Jesus or not.Not arsed either. But millions celebrate Christmas without the slightest bit of thought for Jesus,no? Sometimes you just go with it

They don't celebrate Paddys day in Ballymena, the DUP would never allow it. A few (not sheep) climb Slemish Mountain and thats about it. Saturday is footer day so getting pissed happens anyway.

But if it falls on a weekday, its a Public Holiday in Northern Ireland. Thats a disgrace.

Uncle Liam wrote: But if it falls on a weekday, its a Public Holiday in Northern Ireland. Thats a disgrace.

It's actually a Bank Holiday.

Doctor? wrote: I understand it of yanks, they have no history of their own and have to steal ours.

Since we get to steal others' history, I think I'll steal Greece from 1000-400 BC, Rome from 400 BC- 400 AD, Byzantine from 400 -14th century, Italy 15th-16 century, Engerland 17th-19th century, USA 1901-200, Canada thereafter. OK, so I'm babbling.

I've never had St Patricks day off in my life, my own fault for being a Protestant :D

I remember in my final year at Queens, I wanted to get to the library to do a fuckload of studying. And it was closed for St Patricks Day! And you couldnt get a minutes peace for people shouting "Come on Tyrone" regardless of the fact that we were all in Antrim.

Uncle Liam wrote: I wanted to get to the library to do a fuckload of studying.

pull the other one mate. blimp at goth birds tits in the library more like

Well, that was just an added bonus.

Paddy's day

But in England, isn't just really great marketing by Guiness that keeps it going?

Plus I think the main upside to the holiday is that it is easy to understand and there are a bunch of stupid rules evryone knows they need to follow, like having to wear green. Plus Irish drinking songs are fun to drink to.

Uncle Liam wrote: But why are we, in England, celebrating another nations nati onal holiday, when we barely celebrate our own?

Convince me, Liam: how would you like to see us celebrate 'our' national day?

A march through the street, rounding up scallies, stringing them up from lamp posts, while putting all Muslims in a big net and throwing them out of the country.

EDIT: Due to peoples naivety and belief that i'm the re incarnate of Hitler, I have made the above comment in jest, in a joking sense to previous comments made to me by the above poster. I have no desire to put Muslims in a big net and throw them out of the country, as quite frankly, a lot of them make a damn nice curry.

You could argue that the irish and muslims deserve each other, i mean they're both dirty unwashed fuckers who think terrorism is a way to get what they want.

But i'd never suggest anything like that...

While you're at it, go on over to the jews thread and say nasty things about them too, you dumb f***. Or is it okay just to be racist again the Irish?

It's Brits like you that keep the IRA going, btw, 'cause all the rich Irish Americans hear shit like that and secretly think to themselves England deserves it and go to fundraisers for Noraid etc. I don't advocate that shit, but that's the truth.

Instead of mouthing off about other people, go and figure out why you worship a queen -- that's a good one - put people on pedestal because ther're inbred Germans.

Was that, excuse the pun 'aimed' at me?

Steve One wrote: Was that, excuse the pun 'aimed' at me?

I'm sure it was. And if you repeated what you typed in public there'd be a good few folk round here aiming more than a "pun" at you. Bawbag.

The IRA (and by that I presume you mean the Provos) arent 'going' anymore. They have announced that the war is over and all military operations have been ceased.

The logic is 'because Monty says so' - can you not read?

PFD - Beamish is still going strong - & still €0.50 cheeper than the others here too!!! I've always preferred it's flavour over Guiness too.

AND, I was at the DUBLIN parade today with the family - it was , well , it was boring, but the kids love it. And we waved our tricolours & remembered how proud/happy/content we are to be Irish, along with all the other nationalities lined up beside us.

oh dear- a rather pointless thread- St Pat's is merely another night to go on the piss. I don't think that anyone really thinks about the connection with Ireland- just like few make the connection between Xmas and Christianity.

Same dinner tonight, but i have one guiness (god knows how old it is, but it was in the fridge). Also watching the Quiet Man. Old tradition.

Aberdeen was full of pissed people in large green hats by lunchtime yesterday.

Seemed to all dissapear by the evening.

I seem to be constantly saying sorry for things i've posted on here. Funny that cos i thought i lived in a country that had freedom of speech?

Maybe i didn't word my comment very PC but the general comment was true,except for the unwashed part. So if i've upset anyone, sorry.

But not sorry for having such a rediculous opinion in the first place?

You're general point was that all Irish people and all Muslims are terrorists who don't wash properly.

I find it amazing and disgusting that anyone over the age of nine would have such an opinion.

The fact that you chose to write a thing like that on a message board shows what a dickhead you are.

The unwashed part was a joke, but im not wrong by pointing out that both the irish and muslims have used terrorism in the past because they think its a route to get their own way.

Some English men have raped little girls. Does that make you a paedophile?

No,and i never said all irish/muslims were the same. I think you've taken what i said the wrong way,and i've tried to retract any offence caused. Im not gonna defend myself anymore.

other people post things i dont think are fair, but i dont start bad mouthing them calling them dickheads.

Good for you.

It's alright to call all Muslims and all Irish dirty terrorists, but not alright to insult someone individually when they've said something you find offensive?

Makes sense to me.

Maybe you should be mature enough to let it go then and except the apology?

Okay

Sorry for calling you a dickhead, Steve.

Good. Lets move on!

Liam not around today?

What's the betting he's still in bed with a massive Guinness hangover and a shamrock painted on his cheek?

Some blocke dressed as a leprichaun gave me a flier for an Irish boozer yesterday.

You should go in, he said, the crack's really good.

Fuck that, I said. That stuff ruins lives

Liams downstairs watching the Cricket.

Did you have a good St Pad's then?

Did you get one of them big green hats buy buying 10 pints of the black stuff?

Of course not. I spent most of the night recieving disturbing text messages from Welsh Darren and watching the Cricket.
