so, what do you do on St.Patrick's day?

BEAT

The big day is tomorrow and I am wondering what most people will be doing.
In america as we all know, they load up on beer and watch parade's celebrating even the smallest tie they have to Ireland...Everyone suddenly becomes Irish, well they become the "stereotypical Irish" that America has come to know by way of Hollywood.
but what will you be doing in Ireland while everyone outside of Ireland celebrate's it?

Any local parade's planned? any parties planned?

kano476

Big underage session in a field in tramore. ssshh don't tell the Gards!

yeah yeah I know typical irish :rolleyes:

Dr. Loon

I would normally be getting drunk somewhere. However, I'll be working this Paddy's Day which is a písser. It's not just for Irish people, and who gives a cráp if people suddenly become Irish!? Fair play to them... any excuse for a party I say. Even if it's just celebrating Irishness.

Goodshape

I'm going to get drunk.

Civilian_Target

Well, I'm going to watch Americans load up on beer and watch parade's celebrating even the smallest tie they have to Ireland...Then watch them all suddenly become Irish, well they'll become the "stereotypical Irish" that America has come to know by way of Hollywood.

And I'm going to be getting pissed in Boston in the process.

JackKelly

I'll be celebrating by Birthday.

koneko

I'm not going to drink at all. So there.

I will be doing the same thing, just wonderered what everyone else was doing I will be getting pissed in Cleveland though

Sarky

I'll probably sleep through most of it (working tonight). However, if I wake up soon enough I'll head to a friend's house and play boardgames, cardgames, videogames, and RPGs all day, sneering with disgust whenever I think of the festering hellhole the centre of Galway is going to become.

It's probably the one day I wish I could say I wasn't Irish.

Bard

Myself and my girlfriend are going to Carrickmacross to see the parade there. I'm told it's good craic. A few drinks will be consumed later on in the day alright.

The_B_Man

im gonna get pissed knacker drinkin, then go into o connell street and start fights and piss in the streets and dont put my rubbish in the bin.

nah, im gonna be stuck in carlow. might head out to one of the 2 clubs in carlow, being the day thats in it!

seamus

Word on the street is that temps are going to be hitting 16 degrees tomorrow, quite high for Ireland in March, so I want to try organise a chill-out session, maybe a few beers and an all-day barbeque.

Want to get to bed early, like 12ish. I still have to work on Friday! :eek:

theCzar

i'll probably stay in, read a book. maybe write a letter.

A-Trak

I'll be hob-nobbing with Irelands finest minds in Dublin city centre , bedecked in celtic jerseys and quaffing flagons of cider before becoming slightly inebriated & viciously assaulting all and sundry for no apparent reason, a typical show of irishness. Begorrah.

Hugh Hefner

I've decided to make DVD buying a St. Patrick's Day tradition cos' last year I bought one thinking it was a completely different film and it's now my favourite DVD (Cabin Fever).

I'm also gonna get some Green McDonald's milkshakes, and see what's goin' on in town. Oh yeah, the parade. I knew there was something I was missing. :rolleyes:

Mossy Monk

i'm working, HURRAY, such joy. it will be the best day ever. tried booking holidays ages ago and they said no holidays for Paddy's Day

i work for a shower of **** btw

DrIndy

Boozing tonight for Paddys Eve and then we'll see about tomorrow....

blondie83

I've got a big important report type thing due in on Friday, and am nowhere near finished, so I'll be doing that on Paddys day, while thinking of all my friends out having a good time in town (I plan on ringing everyone really early Friday morning though and laughing at their hungover states! )

[Jackass]

I'll be up early...getting nicely drunk in the sunshine at Landsdowne road, whilst watching my beloved Belvo winning the senior cup. Then off to town, hopefully celebrating, watch some of the parade, then to temple bar, to bask in the glory of worshipped by drunking yanks, and wrap it up with a bit of culutre in some nightclub...what a day!!

superconor

Im going to sit in this room and do my ****ing english poetry coursework. Gurr! SO no going into town and having fun with my friends, no, just Robert Goldsmith and Carol Anne ****ing Duffy!

:mad: :mad:

Agent Smith

college essay all day! fun fun fun fun fun....

simu

I'm going to wear some green clothes (!) but apart from that, I'll just be working or procrastinating as usual. I might go for a stroll through Galway to look at all the drunken madness though.

Actually, it's very relevant that I'll be working - the poem I'm working on for college has St. Patrick in it!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

smoking pot, maybe take a lil bit of magic mushrooms. We'll see.

I Am Going To Have A Look New Shopping Center With My Friend IN DUNDRUM

Jonny Arson

St. Patricks Day = Overrated

mad m

Usually take kids into parade but there getting bigger these days and shoulders wont take the strain.So we're of fishing on the dodder .Probably be an hour into it and then the immortal words "Dad when we going home,we're bored".

So then straight to boozer for a few scoops and a bit of a diddle dee.

Have a good one.

I'm in work. Then I'm coming home to practise my patterns for TKD (black belt grading a month from tomorrow), then eat food and watch films. Think I'm gonna watch Princess Mononoke again. I'm gonna beat the final stage of Super Mario 64 DS and I'm gonna restart Zelda: Wind Waker.
