Paddy's Day

I have never understood why the English celebrate St Pats day more than St Georges. Must be all the pubs offering cut price beer.

never understood why the Irish adopted a Romano - Englishman as patron saint when he came to Ireland and committed cultural genocide in driving out the indigenous religion and replacing it with Christianity - the "snakes" he drove out of Ireland were the druids.

Much like our own Saint. A complete twat by all accounts. That dragon was preggers.
 
It's St Cyril of Jerusalem's day today, just in case there are any non-Christians needing an excuse to drink alcohol. As far as I'm aware, the Diageo group hasn't yet commercialised this day, but once word gets out I'm sure the streets will be awash with jaunty skull caps and keffiyeh.
