Will St Patrick's day be a bloodbath?

Degsy · 11-03-2006 1:57pm #1

I hate going into town on st patrick's day anyway,what with the drunken hordes of scumbags vomiting and fighting and copulating,but will it be any more depraved than usual this year in the light of the recent 'unpleasantness' in town?I reckon some folk have got a taste for running amok and paddy's day will provide the perfect excuse.

This calls for a Simpsons quote:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing is a total disregard for the things St. Patrick's Day stand for. All this drinking, violence, destruction of property. Are these the things we think of when we think of the Irish?"

BigWilly · 11-03-2006 2:05pm

I've been in town for the last few years, most of the times just for the night. However this year I don't think I'll be arsed. Last year was a bit of a bust really.

Free gaf FTW

It looks like Paddies day is going to be cold to very cold with the winds streaming in all the way from Siberia-so if theres people wanting trouble, they'd better wrap up.

ah sure the burning buildings will warm everyone up. and they'll rob some new shoes too to keep their ickle feets comfy

Degsy · 11-03-2006 3:03pm

Ah but they're from 'deprived' areas so its okay to steal and burn stuff!

Attol · 11-03-2006 3:07pm

Yeah, they're only protesting how unhappy they are with their situation and how unfair it is that those of us who have worked for what we have are in a better situation to them. It's really not fair to judge the poor people(not poor in the monetary sense of the word). Sure we should all donate our nice things to them. It's not fair on them to have to work for it if they don't want to.

Dublin calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared - and battle come down
Dublin calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard,you boys and girls
Dublin calling, now don't look to us
Phoney U2-mania has bitten the dust
Dublin calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the reign of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Cause Dublin is burning and I live by the river

Personally I'm looking forward to this...

ClareBear · 11-03-2006 3:14pm

I've been in town for the last few years on Paddy's Day and while 2004 was a bit of a mess (drunken kids all over the place on Grafton Street) it wasn't scary and last year was fine. Yeah you're going to get your drunken idiots falling all over the place but you get that any night of the week, it'll just be a bit earlier in the day on Patrick's Day

Thanks for the tip

raheny red · 11-03-2006 5:02pm

Yep, I reckon it will be a bloodbath!

Funkstard · 11-03-2006 6:12pm

I don't really think it will be, save for the usual drunken nonsense that happens every year. Most of the skobies will be too busy drinking cider in St.Stephens Green to even think about looting shops

biko · 11-03-2006 6:26pm

Heads rolling down the street. People screaming. Children crying. Mayhem. Houses burning.

Glad I won't be in Dublin for it. Better off in Belfast tbh.

Mr.Nice Guy · 11-03-2006 6:48pm

I've never encountered any difficulty myself, mainly as I have stayed in the one place for the entire ngiht.

Does anyone have any horror stories from Paddy's Day they'd like to share?

one year i met an american family and they were dressed as leprachauns. i don't think i'll ever get over that one.

Funkstard · 11-03-2006 7:42pm

The general disgrace of everyone in town is both hilarious and slightly shameful

Bartronilic · 11-03-2006 7:52pm

Hold on this year Siberian winds on addy's day and last year on Paddy's Day it was 10,0000000 degrees not a cloud in the sky?! Irish weather is all over the place.

Anyway I stopped going to town after my friend was beaten up while our backs were turned so we stay local instead.

Binomate · 11-03-2006 8:34pm

Hopefully all of the knackers will kill themselves off this year. I've got my fingers crossed anyway.

DoctorEdgeWild · 11-03-2006 8:36pm

You wouldn't catch me in town on Paddy's day - my mate works as a bouncer and hates working that night. Such a joke the way the drinking Irish can't handle their drink.

Anyway, I'll be at a wrestling show in Baldoyle that day (as per sig) - twice as much fun and three times less drink related violence. Just standard wrestling related violence!

You know wrestling's fake, right?

It's not fake, it's choreographed.:rolleyes:

Would you call a magician's act fake because that jerk in the mask revealed its secrets?

In a word?
Yes.

Slippers · 12-03-2006 1:33am

It would be called fake if what looks like is happening (person floating/coin coming out of ear) isn't actually happening. This doesn't mean people won't enjoy it.

When did anyone say anything about not enjoying it?

For example, I know that Jordan's melons are fake - You think I wouldn't enjoy them though?!?

Slippers · 12-03-2006 1:42am

The :rolleyes: made me think that's how Mr.Nice Guy took Spike's comment.

Slippers · 12-03-2006 1:53am

On fake and not-fake, it depends on how it is presented. Witty banter between two characters in a play wouldn't really be called fake, even though it's not real. However pre-scripted witty banter between two presenters at some sort of live event could be.

slipss · 12-03-2006 1:54am

No i'd say it'll be a normal Paddys day in dublin city, if ye mean will it be a repeat of the Love Ulster march then I doubt it.

Bartronilic · 12-03-2006 2:30am

There's noting stopping people angered at the stopping of the Love Ulster coming down and rioting/people joining in for the fun of it again.

Cosine · 12-03-2006 2:48am

I duno what'll happen but I think I'll stay clear of it this time

No Dublin for me

I'd love to know exactly why people think they have to, I'm definitely making a stand by getting ridicoulously stoned but not a drop of alcohol!

Paddy's day though, its so anti climatical, everyone gets pissed, but its not like a birthday or christmas eve where something exciting happens, its just a stupid day.

And behind it all the real meaning is to celebrate christianity arriving in this country. Bet Pagans wree much more fun too

Dooom · 12-03-2006 1:12pm

Hmm, a while back, St. Patrick bet the bejesus out of the snakes until they left right? So maybe we should bring that into the 21st Century and beat the bejesus out of the scumbags until they leave?

Now that'd be a bloodbath.

Just heard about a Paddy's day ticket give away from some english station. They are handing out flights and hotel accomodation for 30 couples to celebrate Paddy's day in dublin.

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would want to be one of the only englishmen in a group of mostly pissed irishmen

Yes! last year I caught a guy mugging another guy for his leprachaun hat. I arrested the guy only to find out my victim had dusted off his hat and wandered off! :eek:

Dude, you're following me everywhere. Cookoo's nest. Now here. You're in that car parked outside aren't you?

I'm getting the 12 gauge, you have 20 seconds. Then I'm just gonna open fire on that car that's cleverly disguised as a cat. You almost had me fooled there.

Trick me one, shame one you. Trick me twice, shame on me.
Trick me three times, no you don't. NO YOU DON'T!

Will St Patrick's day be a bloodbath?
