I don't think the colonials in the Free State like being part of the British Isles, but imho if the mainland celebrates St. Patricks day then the colonials in the plantations should jolly well cheer for good old St. George "Hurrah"

Happy St Georges Day...

Hope the English don't experience the savagery we did on Paddy's Day. T'was like Sodom and Gommorah all rolled into one.

something about it being associated with the BNP - they dont really celebrate it over in England, I think its something got to do with the rightwing association with it...
which is kinda funny since he was a foreigner
Some bloke who owned a pub wanted to get permission from his local council to get a bar extension, and they said it wasnt appropriate.

i remember seeing that pub owner on Sky News. it was strange because he got a bar extension for chinese new years

politicians over here are giving out about the lack of events to celebrate. a little jealous of our party last month!

Parton saint of Malta too (and another few places that you probably don't have some deep resentment against) but if you weren't nine you'd know that so I'll let you off.

Incidentally the insult "Hun" is generally reserved for Germans or even Hungarians, though this is rare. Here's an entire page of insults about the English written by people who can spell.

I agree with merc, all around the world they show unity and empathy toward Eire by celebrating St. Patricks day (who was not Irish it should be noted) yet when somone suggest that you support our neighbours and brothers from the British Isles you attack them with racist insults.

For Shame.

Who is St. George anyway? I never even knew the British were christians.

Eat me with a spoon. There are two kinds of people outside of Ireland who make a big deal about St. Patrick's day:

a)people wanting an excuse for a party (fair enough, but I'm not stupid enough to believe they care about Ireland), and
b)people with varying amounts of conviction as to their "Irish roots" (in some cases legitimate, mostly an excuse for a bunch of retards to bang on about how their great grandad was from Kerry or wherever and then drink green beer).

St. George is an English holiday. Not British (the Scottish and Welsh have their own saints, as far as I know), English. And given Ireland's history with England, you can't be too surprised that some are reluctant to celebrate it (myself included, on the basis that I'm not English and don't consider myself to have any strong connection to the country as a whole).

Maybe people should have been more polite about it, but the initial post can be easily interpreted as provoking. And frankly, if you take something as silly as a national holiday seriously, then it's your own fault and problem.
