A day to sample the delights of Irish culture and to celebrate all that is Irish?

It's my Dad's birthday.

Another glorious day at work, where double pay is an evil word for the poor old salaried chef.

Should be great old craic, the rowdiness works it's way into the kitchen at times. The usual salutation of "up your sister" will be replaced with "how's she cuttin". Lots of Irish spoken in the day time, by 10pm we will be having a go at Swahili or the likes, Jameson will flowing by then as will the BS.

Always nice to meet a friendly drunk on his way into the kitchen,...looking for "da jacks"

No, Siegmund. Duuh!

Yes, not working for money rulez, and all that.

Staying in and watching cheesy horror films followed by a healthy selection of badly dubbed 80s kung fu films.

DEmeant0r

Queuing a half an hour to buy overpriced drinks in a pub. I shall not be doing that this year. It'll either be a house party or stay at home this paddy's day.

OPENROAD

Just another day.

Nightwish

Its my anniversary with the OH. I like the Skyfest and thats about it. All the paddywhackery bullsh!t and drinking just annoys me.

Xavi6

All it means for me this year is that it's Monday and I'm in work. Woof*ckinghoo.

speaktofrank

It's a day in another country and where I can wear my 'kiss me I'm Irish t'shirt and get loads of offers.

Back to normality for the rest of the year.

Mossy Monk

Means nothing to me. I will spend my day watching hurling and football on tv.

Cathaoirleach

A money-making sham that celebrates nothing about Irish culture.

Considering there were about 14 threads about this I don't know why I'm explaining but here goes anyway.

You can't have a liturgical feast in holy week so the church changed the religious celebrations of St. Patrick's Day to 15th March. The non-religious celebrations were not changed for obvious reasons. I was answering another poster who thought it had been changed to the 19th. I was also being sarcastic when I said he missed it, because he obviously has not missed today's celebrations, just the church ones.

It means that I will be getting bellupered & posting alot more on here in work tomorrow in pain.

hitcher

it means geting people drunk and haveing wild sex in the name of st paddy:D:D:D:cool::D:D:D

+1, all Paddy's day means to me is that I'll be putting the feet up at home and staying well clear of the streets, in the party capital of the west...

On an unrelated note meself and the missus did go out on Friday, with some friends, (first time I'd been in a club in years), and some weird stuff happened; the both of us were individually propositioned by roughly equal amounts of men and women, I mean what. Now granted she looks a bit unusual (teeny little asian) but when did clubbing get so kinky in Ireland? Did I miss a memo? Not that I'm complaining, its always nice to get a compliment, but things have changed since I was a young fella...

riots on grafton street yet?

Jayeire

What does it mean to me? Sweet F.A to be honest. We get once day a year to celebrate our nationalism and all we have is a ****ty parade, in Waterford City anyway. It disgusts me that other countries put on a way better show than the Irish themselves, than us!!
Seems like the parade in Waterford gets worse and worse every year:mad:

Exit

Doesn't mean much to me.

But it is annoying to see them call it "St. Patty's Day" over this side of the world. :rolleyes:

She Devil

Sweet F all .... infact it did nothing but annoy me all day because it was a huge inconvience to me, roads closed ... travel delayed, boyfriend working stupid hours, blah blah blah ....
and the irish are a disgrace holding disgraceful parades, i was so ashamed i switched off the tv when it came on ...
bah paddybug

Riddle101

What dose it mean to me? Showing the rest of the world how Irish they're not by drinking them all under the table. Fridays and Saturdays are just practice days for me, Paddys Days is the main course

I love Paddy's Days Lawls:)

inode

ive been drinking since 11 this morning at work now and still drinking haha

Piste

It means buses are messed up so I just have to take a stab in the dark at when to go to the bus stop, also means Dublin at night is ten times more annoying than usual.


Bah humbug
