How are you spending the day? Bit of a dose falling on a Monday with work tomorrow! I’ve been off all week so may spend a bit today getting organised for going back.

At least the weather is nice for the parade goers!

Chilling out mostly. Monday's not the best day for St Patrick's Day.

Going to have a look at the parade as it's my first one in my new town. Few pints then.

I'll probably spend most of the day on Boards give about about St Patrick's Day:)

last year I was the same— chef life. 🤣

If I remember right we finished a bit early and the GM bought us all a drink. There was a big fight between him and one of the chefs over soda water.

The chef wanted a Gin & Tonic, but apparently tonic water was too expensive so he insisted he use soda water, I don’t drink myself so I wasn’t sure of the difference but the guys who do drink felt it was a **** way to behave.

Fun times

They let 12 year olds drink where you work?

I don’t work there anymore, but yeah as I said the guy was just a bit of a cheap fecker. I understand it’s probably not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but it’s more about offering to buy someone a drink and then nitpicking what they choose til it suits your opinion on cost I guess?

Like if I invited you out for a drink right, I’m buying, whatever ya want but then I try talking you into a cheaper drink that’s sort of the same I suppose but it’s not really. Being a bit of a dick no?

Like if my kids asked for a can of coke and I insisted they take Pepsi cos it’s on offer I’m being an ass.

Same here. Myself and the OH took the mutts to the park for a runabout, well away from the crowds and the noise of the parade in the Main Street. We’re both just chilling in front of the tv after stuffing ourselves with Gyoza chicken and pork dumplings. Back in work tomorrow but I might treat myself to a Jack Daniel’s and Red Lemonade with lots of ice later on.

It isn't appropriate to use Irish tricolour for St Patrick's day. St Patrick is patron saint of the island not the republic. It should be treated like rugby where the 4 province flag or shamrock flag is used.
