St Patrick's Day

Ruu_Old · 08-03-2011 01:29PM

I'll be working, no point in a teetotaller going to a pub anyway watching people drink themselves stupid.

"Why aren't you drinking?!?!"
"Ah go on have one"
"What'll ya have?"

Go ta fuck! :mad:

Cant wait for it paddy's day is always great craic in town.

Will be in Galway from early in the day get the cheltenham bets on and then get a good spot in the pub for the racing and enjoy a days and nights drinking! A rake of pints will be had!!!

Watching racing and drinking one of lives great pleasures.

I might check out the parade. Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh is the grand Marshall this year in Toronto.

I also might go out for one or two beers afterwards; that'd be it I reckon.

snugglebear · 08-03-2011 01:42PM

I mite go watch the parade but i won't be going too mad, the thought of the sore head the next day puts me off, but it's always good fun

I love Paddy's Day! Now my children are older, we go out to the parade and they enjoy it - we have dinner in the hotel then nip into the local for an hour.

stovelid · 08-03-2011 01:49PM

Don't like it. Too many fools in town*

*The only town that matters.

I've the first Paddys Day of in YEARS so Ill defo be going into town

Usually I end up playing catch up @ bout 7 / getting phone calls from everybody having the craic all day and feeling jealous so cant wait.

Wake up, fry up, head into town for the parade, cans and a ceili, then back to the locals just in time to avoid town getting messy and continue it all there. WIN.

Ah I love the buzz of it all. My Dad always loses his fúcking shirt, which is hilarious to watch =D

old hippy · 08-03-2011 02:05PM

Like a big silly eejit, I'll be wearing a bit of green down the local, with the missus and a few mates. But it'll be very subdued compared to the madness of yesteryear

I'll be going into town for Paddy's Day for perhaps the first time since the Millennium. It's 10 years anyway since I last bothered.

I know there's not much in it cos I post there sometimes and I haven't a fooking clue :pac:

It's amazing how much we look forward to it even tho we know we're gonna lose. I won't be able to sleep next Monday night!

Think I'll dust off me Ireland tracksuit top for St Patrick's Day tho

Alter-Ego · 08-03-2011 02:14PM

I'll be in Toronto. I've no idea what Paddys day is like over there but they do have a parade.

I love it...it's my birthday that day too!
Think I'll be heading to a gig that night.....won't be trad irish music but there will be alcohol and guitars so ya can't go wrong.
Wish it was on Friday though!

PeterIanStaker · 08-03-2011 02:16PM

Paddy's day really brings out the third division drinkers, it's nearly as bad as Xmas/New years.

Run_to_da_hills · 08-03-2011 02:24PM

Patricks Day is one time of the year I detest.

After the parades our national flags can bee seen trampled into the ground along routes across towns and cities covered in muck.

People would have more interest in picking up a 5c coin than a discarded tricolour.

You wouldn't see this in the UK or any other country. The same goes on at Football matches.

All cheap tacky plastic versions of the Irish Flag should be banned.

Mars Bar · 08-03-2011 02:34PM

Seeing as I'm off the sauce (not for lent or by choice), I'll be avoiding the pubs!

Really? I bet the streets in England are full of those tacky plastic St George's hats The Sun give away when England play in a WC!

Yes, I will be raiding the sides of the couch and the change jar for some extra funds. First Paddy's day I'll have had off in years. Here's hoping the first bet I put on for a fiver on the nose comes in at 100/1.

RichieC · 08-03-2011 02:42PM

Looking forward to a load of drunken scobies walking around the estate with a license to be scum because it's paddys day.

Vicxas · 08-03-2011 02:42PM

I love St. Paddy's day but won't be off getting drunk, it's a crap generalisation of irish culture...

I'm going for a swim in the morning, taking my younger siblings to the parade and then having a nice meal in evening with friends!

In a bid to end all nationalistic pride the IMF/EU have cancelled the St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin.

Don't worry Fine Gael are committed to renegotiating this aspect of the bailout...

I'm gonna miss it again this year.

I'll be away on a business trip in Norway. Expenses paid, plush hotel, top restaurants. I feel very sorry for myself:(:(:(:D
