tayto lover

Go to the parade in Dundalk.
Have dinner afterwards.
Watch the Club football final.
Stay out of noisy, brawlish pubs that have children with drunken adults all day long.

Lapin

Studying for exams.

Guaranteed to get a free spot in the NUIG library on the day.

I shall be doing the same thing I do every year; Not partaking in any festivities.

Paddy founded the catholic church in Ireland, and we all know how that turned out.
Nothing to celebrate, in my opinion

fits

Shamrock - check
Daffodils - check
Roast beef or lamb - not possible this year.

I'm near the arctic circle do doing well with the first two. happy to have some shamrock for the lapel this year and will wear it to work.

Get drunk, start a fight with a random guy and hopefully win then go home and cry myself to sleep.

Bpmull

I have college exams Monday, Wednesday, Friday next week. So I'll spend the day sitting in front of books studying unfortunately.

rmchmufc

Stay at home and avoid all the crowds

castletownman

Have a wedding the day before, so Paddy's Day will probably roll in as a drunken continuation of the previous days celebrations.

I love this time of year!!

keano_afc

The joys of working for a European company mean I'm on duty. Hoping to take in the parade in Bray at some point.

SPM1959

Work for me.

Never enjoyed Paddy's Day in Ireland. Abroad though (New York for example) and it's immense!

No thank you!

dgt

Lose count of the brandy and ports I'll consume

cruiser178

Working a 13 hour but It still beats standing in the freezing cold watching the army parade their rust buckets down the street and listening to the kids saying "when we going home daddy. Probably have few beers when I get home.

Head out for a cycle in the morning
Off to the parade then
Have lunch out somewhere
Two or three beers then in the local
Home before the messiness begins

Adamantium

Planning on pouring nuclear waste into the River Liffey so St.Patricks Day can be more than just one day in the year.

Kevin McCloud

For us fools that work, the rock and roll kids are a different story.

Get drunk.

No, that would be Christianity. Both sides up North love him. They think more of an Ulsterman than an Irishman, since that's where he first landed.

ROCKMAN

Stay as far away from any drunken man ,woman or child as I can ,
Stay as far away from the mess that is the city centre,
Stay as far away from the zombie zone that the pubs become,

Nice quiet day at home when wife and kids f**k off to parade.
Reunite with TV Remote ,
NO Micky Mouse Clubhouse,
NO Henry Hugglemonster,
NO Curious George ,

Sport channels how I miss you ,might even watch Eurosport .

Cabbage and Bacon dinner about the only Irish thing I'll be near.

recylingbin

I'm a low ranking county councillor. So free holiday in the Seychelles to attend their parade, followed by talks with local dignatries to attract jobs, and a quick tour of their world famous, state of the art sewage treatment facilities and then drink and eat like a king.
With the wife.

looksee

Sit in a local (non-alcoholic) cafe all dressed up demonstrating medieval crafts, chatting with people and drinking tea (authentic herbal of course :-) )

Day Lewin

Gardening. Plant seed potatoes, cut grass.
Bacon and cabbage for dinner followed by green and orange jelly with white ice cream between.
Wear green necklace and earrings.
I like the day, spring officially launched.

I enjoy it more from abroad than I do at home usually. But agree its the real start of spring.

Last year I watched local team in the club final over the internet ( Hurling NOT Curling!). The year before the sky here went green with an amazing display of northern lights. Its a good day
