Saint Paddy's day!
Well today is the usual over the top fuss about saint paddy's day, all the school kids are wearing green, and Bennigens burger joint will be packed all day! On stern this morning he said New yorks streets will be drowned in puke after all day drinking.
I wonder how many billions $$$ will be lost today due to "employees calling in sick" ?

This is the day when most Americans claim 1/16th of Irishness.

It will also be Shakespeare's birthday don't forget, and I'm sure he liked beer too.

I actually got frowned at today in the kitchen at work for not wearing anything green.
I had to explain that I am Welsh, have my own patron saint (that confused them right up) have no interest in Irish saints, and, by the way, to most Brits the Irish are the butt of jokes in the same vein that West Virginia and rednecks are to most east coast Americans.
I just don't the green thing at all!

I have no interest these days in St. Patrick's day; I was put off many years ago when I went to an Irish club in our town with an old schoolfriend whose parents were Irish.
Later in the evening the crowd were all singing pro-IRA songs.
Anyway, today I was driving past a new pizza store in our town and on the door there was a big notice posted up:
ST.PATRICKS DAY SPECIAL
REUBEN PIZZA
Eh? I thought anything called a 'Reuben' was of Jewish origin?! (Or at the very least, German?).

Perhaps it's because a Reuben has sauerkraut on it, which is pickled cabbage? What would be on an Irish pizza anyway?

My daughter was just telling me what happened at her school today...
The principal said anyone wearing green could go back to their classes first...
Then he said anyone that is Irish can go back to their classes second...
She said in the end it was her and two other kids left sitting there!
(She was wearing black, she's been wearing it a lot lately, maybe I should talk to her! )

Went to work today and had forgotten it was even St. Patrick's day until someone reminded me.
The only thing I miss are the peppermint milkshakes that Mc Donalds do.
People getting pissed whilst wearing "Kiss me quick" hats on the Falls road was never quite my scene.........
