I dislike it, a celebration of everything stereotypical irish and people wear leprechaun hats, what do you fellows think of it?

Menas · 03-03-2014 07:02PM

Extra day in bed is a winner with me.

MadsL · 03-03-2014 07:03PM

I will be cooking for about 30 Americans. There will be no....

KeithM89 · 03-03-2014 07:06PM

what's the bufoon password this year? BrillyyiantT?? There should really be an english - bufoon dictionary compiled for the day it has become unfortunately

I ignore it. Generally we just relax at home and almost forget about it until we hear the noise of the parade in the distance. It's a day off, that's about the best that can be said about it.

SpaceCowb0y · 03-03-2014 07:07PM

I'll be listening to this on repeat for 24 hours, drinking poitin and chasing the Brits around the village with my shillelagh.

Go out and enjoy the day or if it's not your thing as stated above stay in bed.

I think it's a good day especially for kids but the drugies and scum should be kept out of the city.

It's one of the biggest if not the biggest promotion for this small island and really one thing we should try and be proud of.

Why is everything green ... St Patricks colour was blue..

Arthur Beesley · 03-03-2014 07:11PM

Might wear a green tshirt for the day, other than that, no interest in the day.

Not being allowed to wave flags/banners around is homophobic ?

zetalambda · 03-03-2014 07:13PM

It's the only day of the year that I make sure to not have a drink.

I know that but the clue is in the name of the day....

Seems to have morphed into one of those 'with us or against us' issues like abortion.

Personally I'm indifferent.

Were they flying planes ?

OneArt · 03-03-2014 07:45PM

In Germany so I don't have to suffer it. As long as I avoid the Irish pubs.

Also I'll be South African that day.

allthedoyles · 03-03-2014 07:46PM

If Cheltenham was on it would be a good day out , but its the following week this year.
Normally they clash.

Henlars67 · 03-03-2014 07:48PM

Saint Patrick founded the catholic church in Ireland and we all know how that turned out.

Nothing to celebrate IMO

No, flying coach. Difficult to fly planes without opposable thumbs. Or fingers, or hands.
