I have never understood why the English celebrate St Pats day more than St Georges. Must be all the pubs offering cut price beer.
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.
Plus I don't like Guinness!
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
Nothing like a good bit of stereotyping.
 
All 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.
Came across two odd things this week
Last Sunday Manchester held an Irish Day Parade, was this name change due to him being a Saint and so the didnt want to upset non-Christians and I saw a girl with a Saint Patty's Day flag, maybe he became a saint after being the first outward transsexual?
 
Happy St Patrick's day to all the people of the Ivory Coast, especially Yaya. Have a great day, but don't drink too much, especially if driving.

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.
 
I don't see the point in using a commercialized day as an excuse to get pissed. It does not mean anything to me and nor really does St George's day. Just like pancake tuesday and stuff, it is a load of nonsense and only kept going so jif lemon stays in business. Also isn't it something for the Irish to celebrate?

I think Guinness is fucking terrible to so it is just another day to me.

Good post. I'm going to celebrate both days now.

I fucking hate snakes and I don't like dragons either.
