Irish Village Festivities
On all weekend to celebrate St.Patricks Day. Anybody going? Free music, Irish dancing, bouncy castles all day. Sir Bob Geldof appearing tomorrow night I believe but that won't be free.

Re: Irish Village Festivities
Why is it that Brits are so keen on celebrating the Irish patron saint, but have little interest on doing anything on 23rd April, St George's Day?

It's all just a big marketing scam by Guinness.

Re: Irish Village Festivities
You might want to change "Brits" to "English" - there are historical links between the Irish and the Scots, and besides the Scots have their own celebration for Rab Burns...

Re: Irish Village Festivities
Ooops! Yes, of course. Just thinking of BE site. My apols.
Do the Scots do anything for St Andrew's Day, or just for Burns Night? The Welsh for St David's Day?
I know there is a St George's Day Ball at the Grand Hyatt on 23rd April, but haven't heard of anything else. I may have a BBQ at mine that Friday and make everyone wear red and white.
