Is the correct answer. I can never understand why people, of any nationality, would want to get pissed celebrating a "Saint's Day", whatever that is, but that's just me.I have never understood why the English celebrate St Pats day more than St Georges. Must be all the pubs offering cut price beer.
Nothing like a good bit of stereotyping.St Paddys day is a day for getting pissed and having a laugh, St Georges day is a day for fat, tattooed bald people to have a whinge about brown people

Came across two odd things this weekAll the twee paddywhackery that goes on up and down the country. 100s of parades take place up and down the country, celebrating that famous Welsh Irishman who supposedly drove all the snakes out of Ireland (though there's quite a few two legged ones who evaded him still around!). Plenty of opportunity for local youths to get that hideous green jumper out of the back of the wardrobe for the one day in the year it sees the light of day. And to get pissed up on cheap Dutch Gold cider and throw up in the gutter. Pissing down in sunny (!) Mayo at the moment, so all the parade goers better have their brollies with them. Still; it's a bank holiday, so it's not all bad.

Good post. I'm going to celebrate both days now.Fishy fish fish.
St Paddy's Day passes me by because I appear to be English. St Georges Day also did this for many a year. If I remember I will pop out for a few real ales but only if I remember. If you need an excuse to get pissed then you have a hell of a sad life.
As far as the saints go...the Irish one managed to rid a whole country of snakes! Imagine that!! Also invented the shamrock! He was Romano/ British though. Not Irish.
The English one never set foot on these shores, was probably Turkish and fought a dragon! Imagine that as well!! He also appeared as an apparition at Antioch which cheered the Franks up no end.
Portugal, Malta, Romania, Georgia and our good selves love him.
Got to love feast days.
