    I'm going to drink heavily from 7am, vomit profusely all over the door of the GPO and generally act like a zombie menace. To celebrate my being Irish of course.

    No stories but I have the same observation every year. It seems to bring out people with this weird mix of drifter/cowboy/knacker all in one.

    Never see these people at any other time of year. It's like they come down from the mountain/out of their trailer for the one week of the year only.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,408 ✭✭✭bbam


    Stupid thread seems to be posted every year.
    It's a bank holiday. Some drink to excess, some don't. If you don't like it then stay at home or at least go home early.

    Outside of Dublin I've never really experienced any real trouble. Obviously there does be more fights etc in pubs and clubs but that can be expected when such a larger number than usual have been in the pub all day.

    At least our firemen haven't been banned from taking part in parades :pac:

    A gang of us went drinking in London one Paddys day in early 90s and ended up in a strangers house party in Kilburn.

    Woke up the next morning in the sitting room with bodies trown everywhere to the most disgusting smell ever.

    After some investigation it turned out someone drunkingly sleepwalking took a big scuttery sh1t on the radiator.

    Jesus , as long as I live ill never smell anything as bad as baked bogger crap.

    I'm home for the festivities this weekend, and I have to say walking around Dublin this afternoon there was a great buzz in the air.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,288 ✭✭✭TheUsual


    Ah it's only messy when the lightweight teenagers are around. They stagger about in their track suits with cans of cheap cider and then mysteriously disappear around 6pm to make more teenage babies.

    Just go see a parade early and talk to some tourists - it's great craic.
    Then go home after the parade to avoid the teenagers.
    Then head out at 9pm, packed pubs with dodgy bands playing rebel songs.

    Better than Arthur's Day* anyway (*copyrighted).

    No. None. Saw loads of people waving flags and smiling, if that's any use?

    Madness? Nah.

    there taking precautions in belfast
    Two universities in Belfast are closing down over the St Patrick's Day holiday in an attempt to prevent a repeat of serious violence, which erupted in a student area in the city in previous years.

    apparently in the north its the nationlist's 12th

    Yeah I remember one year my exes sister lost the plot completely. We was all out drinking all day when suddenly out of nowhere she turns around and punches her best friend in the face. Of course there was mayhem and she got kicked out that pub.
    We go over the road to another pub and she starts fighting with another girl and gets barred from there too. We go into a third pub and she started fighting there too and got barred. So she was barred from 3 pubs in about 15 mins. The girl doesn't drink now, probably better off.

    Another year was standing outside the pub at 5pm on the phone to a mate.
    This English guy who had been in the pub 5 mins before came flying out the door and three fellas came out the door after him and beat the Shiite outta him so he goes home, and comes back about 5 mins later. He was chasing the fellas who beat him around cars and the street with a samuri sword swinging it everyway until the guards came and took him away lol.... Heard afterwards that he was started on in the pub for no reason other than being English....

    looking forward to making a public nuisance of myself,
    particularly going out of my way to hassle dry shites


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    I'm in the middles of exams so I won't be able to disgrace myself this year :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,208 ✭✭✭Fattes


    No different to an average Friday night in any town just more silly hats and tourists


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Ruudi_Mentari


    0-3 reminded me today wasn't it... will be sick of the sight of fcuking shamrocks come sunday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46,938 ✭✭✭✭Nodin


    I got so locked three years ago, I was awarded a free pass for subsequent years. However soon I hope to get back to some drunken rowdiness and maybe a spot of cannibalism, in the spirit of that day thats in it etc.

    One story only, it seems to happen every year too. A bunch of fcukers fly away to ridiculous destinations and hand over bowls of Shamrock to other fcukers, the joys of being a politician.
