Dunnes Stores St Pats T-Shirt

JONJO THE MISER

Was in Dunnes earlier and saw a t-shirt for st pats days with a picture of a potato made to look like a persons face and drinking beer with something along the lines of lets get blotto.
So now a Irish company is selling a t-shirt with a Irish person portrayed as a potato drinking beer:mad:

Dunes I was in yesterday had Patrick's day cakes marked up expensive in the colours of the Irish flag. Except when you actually look they are Green,Orange,green. Did make me chuckle.

In my local Dunnes they have mannequins dressed up in full loud and garish Paddy's Day attire, they look like Americans from hell who profess their 1/35th Irish gene.

Why do they have St Patrick wearing a bishops garb anyway from like the 13th century. And in Green and not Patrick blue ?

Would it be worse or better if the company wasn't Irish?

Do Irish people actually still give a cr@p about St.Patricks day? I though we all grew out of that in our 20s :-/

I can still remember where I was 20 years ago, when the last Irish person was born.

Seems pretty accurate.

Stereotypes come about as there are some truths to them. Sometimes more than just some.

In the mid 90s in the UK, I always thought it was pretty much take it or leave it - until I hopped on a bus in Kilburn on Paddy's day. It was fantastic. Cans being passed around all sorts. The bus driver kept having to refuse a drink.

One of the best I've ever been in.

Living in London in the 90s put me off Paddy's day for life.

Although I hated it before then too.

Hey I'll swing with it for 52 weeks of the year and usually do.

But I don't need to dress up like a gobshíte in a stupid T shirt and drink till I fall over in a pool of my own vomit at lunchtime in an attempt to prove to my mates that I'm not a 'misery guts'.

Liveline has been very disappointing recently but we could be on to a winner with this one if Joe's researcher elves get their hands on it.

Tip to any callers: make sure that you give full details of physical and psychological pain caused by the t-shirts, a rundown of any medications that have been subsequently prescribed, money lost through days missed working at the struggling family business, etc.
