St Patrick's Day Plans

PK2008

Looks like the Paddy's day festival has come a long way since the days of a few tractors, army fellas stroking their weapons and American cheerleaders twiddling their batons.

Looks like a bit of craic, but the skyfest is in Wexford?

Anyway, whats your plan?

I'm going to head into town early with my little girl (will be painting shamrocks on her cheeks!) to see the parade and to go to the funfair at Custom House Quay. I think we might go on the Big Wheel at the Point (sorry... O2) also. Will pick up an obligatory Shamrock Shake from McDonald's at some point and then will have to get out of the city before it all decends into utter chaos and my child is exposed to a level of drunkeness, vomiting and pulic urination, fit only for the eyes of scumbags and college students.

I just think it's sad that we have this illusion that this is one of the great national holidays of the world, and we'll have one miserable set of fireworks in the entire country, and not even on the day itself.

OPENROAD

Watch Cheltenham.

heading to tipperary with herself for cheltenham, drinking and shit like that

brummytom

What do you mean by Paddy's Day - the day itself or the parade day?

Playing on some big stage thingy outside the Bullring tomorrow, going to the Parade on Sunday; playing in assembly on Tuesday, playing around the school on Wednesday (then hopefully seeing one of the best trad bands around, Beoga) and going to see the Dubliners on Paddy's day itself



Oooh trip on Monday = lie in. Sunday drinking

TanG411

It's another day where the Irish are proud not to go to work and to just drink.

Had to vote Atari Jaguar as there was no other option not involving drink.

The idea that everyone gets pissed on Paddy's Day is quite defunct.

They're still right though, regardless of whether they have ever had a drink in their lives.

I will be getting to town (Galway) sometime before 12, straight to the bookies and meet a few friends, have a last minute read (though my horses will be picked well in advance) place my bets and into the pub before the first race at 1:30 and drink from then until closing, probably in a few different pubs and possibly even a club.

The parade is on Paddy's day.

Same hopefully if I hve the cash. St. Brigits (home parish) playin in our first Club finals so will be some session win or lose.

Captain_Generic

My main memory from last year was heading in on the bus (46a) at 2pm. There were about eight 14-15 year olds drinking at the back, of which 5 had gotten sick on the floor by the time I reached my destination, much to their amusement. Every time the bus braked it would stream down from one end to the other.
The other passengers were horrified. Almost ashamed to be Irish that day

I wouldnt recommend going near Galway city
you saw how bad it was for Rag Week, imagine how bad it'll be on Paddy's Day

citizen_p

going to get drunk in a field with my peers.

podgemonster

Strolled in last year through Merrion Square where Goths were drinking and all over each other then on to Templebar surrounded by drunken foreigners and knackers being searched by Guards. Then on to the River where Americans painted Green were screaming at each other letting everyone know that they had never been so drunk.

Might head to Croker this year and watch the matches, usually a nice crowd around after in the Big Tree.

Misty Chaos

Not really sure yet. Might head up to the city ( as In Cork ) and spend my day up there, probably drinking in some shape or form and hopefully be able to laugh at the pissheads as long as I don't end up being one of them!

psycho-hope

sweet feck all, might go for a drive somewhere other than that spend time with the bf

DEFTLEFTHAND

Im one of the clowns who has to work it. Im off friday though so major session then..:)

Xavi6

Ah Paddy's Day, worst day of the year in Ireland but best day outside it.

I plan to knock off work around 3pm and get suitably gee-eyed til the small hours with the rest of my fellow defectors. Booked Friday off work so tidy long weekend ahead.

sdanseo

I plan on doing my going out the night before, then I'm gonna spend the day inside in front of the telly avoiding the 1.5 million drunken idiots that will fill themselves to the brim with all manner of intoxicants in the name of "fun".

Lapin

Reading through some of these posts I now realise what a pathetic nation of pissheads we truly are.

I love drinking but I have never made plans to head out for a day with the sole purpose of getting shítfaced.

What a sad was to celebrate something.

Thank fuk I'll be away from all this crap next Thursday.
