So how was everyone's Paddys Day?

roro1990

Mine was spent on a bus in Thailand for 12 hours travelling from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Didn't have a drop of beer and had terrible homesickness for the first time of my trip!

Well jealous of some of ye who are probably still on the session! Not so jealous of those of you who have to work through the hangover. Did I miss much? You all have a good Paddy's Day?

The parade is fun

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo

Mine involved whiskey, sodomy, ham sandwiches and fighting so not all that different to every other Tuesday I live on our Emerald Isle. :cool:

Or, I did my drinking at the weekend so I could actually wake today without feeling like sh!t.

That may be a lie

Told some yank to be a man and order a pint of Guinness not a glass.

Ghost Buster

Went to the parade with one kid to watch the other one take part. Watched in horror as the mini skirted double denim tango orangey slappers and their knuckle dragging Red Bull swigging agressive sperm donors doubled in population and added a edgy element to the day. Gotta love Longford.

A few sore heads this morning I'd say...

I read on Twatter that there was some kerfuffle with the Tallaght Luas stop and the Garda Schikkilony has to close it or something?

It was closed for a while for sure.

Shrap

Missed the small-town parade for the first time in 16 years cos none of the kids wanted to go. In fact, had to carefully time NOT getting stuck in traffic waiting for parade whilst collecting eldest from party night on the other side of town. Move over Mum

In fairness, I could nearly tell you the exact number plates of the vintage tractors in this parade at this stage. Yearly highlight is the squad car heading it up with the lights flashing and the siren blipping at the kids.....oh, and the hunt, complete with beagle pack :rolleyes:

Came back and got burritos

So,regardless of the day that was in it,your telling me you embarked on a 12 hour bus trip in Thailand and never had the foresight or wherewithal to bring a bag of cans??Jesus man, if your gonna travel, at least do it fu@king properly :mad:
Back to the question at hand,my St Patrick's day was a fairly uneventful affair, lots of fighting, whiskey and a bit of sodomy along with various other hi-jinks.Just a normal Tuesday, as the fellow with the long name above mentioned.Hope the homesickness has passed man,enjoy Thailand.

ShadowHearth

It was ****... Worked all day, was racing to tesco to grab some beer after, but was met with a closed door...

Worked all day, tired, sober. So yeah, ****.

rainbow kirby

Got home from work and promptly fell asleep for 2 hours. Fantastic :pac:

Crumpets

Went to the local parade, came home and spent the day in bed. Overdid it on Monday night.

AndonHandon

Went to a few pubs, ended up with a group of Aussies and Americans which lead to shots and slagging about which nationality were the best drinkers. Great Craic!

Lapin

Waiting for Bismarck to come on and tell us he climbed Mont Blanc before sitting down to a breakfast of granola with a selection of intercontinental nuts in llama's milk and the juice of Dom João oranges squeezed on the banks of the River Tejo

Then off to work for a 16 hour day of high powered meetings but taking time out to de-stress by completing a marathon after a lunch break of olive and organic artichoke paninis and herbal tea crafted by Tibetan monks.

Then home via the gym for a meal of hand picked cabbage and oak smoked bacon washed down with a 330ml bottle of O'Biddy's Ballinasloe Brewed & Bottled Paddy Bullshít Green Craft Semi Wheat Organic Mild Ale .


For the day that was in it like.

I see the usual thing of gangs of teenage scumbags caused loads of problems yesterday in the capital. The sooner justice Singapore style is introduced for young vermin aged between 12 and 18 the better. Antisocial behaviour - 6 lashes of the ratan on the bare. Violence - 12 lashes. Boys and girls, no distinction. It's the only thing young filth like that understand. You could rest assured that things would improve greatly after the first few recipients got their dose and weren't able to sit down for a week or two afterwards.

First time not in Ireland for Paddys Day so no day off. Had to put up with colleagues trying to make me show them some Irish dancing and sing the "Paddys Day song"!

Went for a 60k cycle yesterday morning was a great morning for it,then relaxed infront of the tv for a bit before heading to Newbridge to get some grub with wife and kids.
We thought we would leave it until after 3pm to avoid the crowds from the parade etc,after a small bit of shopping in whitewater shopping center we went to Gourmet Burger and were greeted with running battles of gangs of teenagers in the street outside.
We saw atleast 3 young lads with bloody faces,poor security guards running allover the place to try and restore order as it was in the shopping center surrounding area.
Absolutely shocking stuff right outside the window from where we were sitting with our 3 kids @ 4pm in the day.
At one stage there must of been close to 100 teens gathered in a few large groups,it was inevitable something was going to happen.

Another excellent Paddys Day. Not a single snake in sight.

Haha nice one :pac:
Bismarck is OK though, my favourite troll of late.If you look past the bullsh1t and sh1tehawkery he's actually quite entertaining, be mindful of that.

the_monkey

For sure , this is all in good humour.

Anyway my Paddys day - boring as usual.

I worked as usual , went home played with my kid, had some dinner, watched some Breaking Bad and had one can of Guinness ... yum ..

Then I finished Stephen King's IT and was grieving for a bit - if you read it you'll know.

Duggy747

Won €50 after putting €1 into a slot machine was one highlight of my day :pac:

Drank a rake of beer, "working from home" this morning i.e. Still in bed dying.

Not great at all. Paddy's day is always poor when it's in the middle of the week and not the weekend. I just watched the parade and went home to watch the football. No alcohol no pubs.

Monday was my St.Patrick's day though. Still recovering from it now

My son was born yesterday so I said id better hang around for that, or else my OH would have murdered me today.

Went to the world's greatest parade in Clondalkin.... Where the masses witnessed 2 lorries pass them and went away bemused. What the hell was going on there was anyones guess.

Holsten laters followed by Netflix.

Stayed on couch all day.
Never go out on Paddys Day, carnage.

Would rather be in Chiang Mai again but not the bus journey.

Say hello to my kids will ye.

Slept in, had a good long sleep.
