St. Paddys Day

Good to see a protestant flute band in the main St Patricks Day parade in Dublin yesterday, and they got a good welcome and applause from the crowd.

A sign of things to come.
 
Whilst I choose not to celebrate St. Patrick's Day as I have no Irish anscenstry, I don't hold any animosity towards anyone who chooses to enjoy it.
However, I don't understand why there's a preference to celebrating the national day of this particular neighbouring country, when there's no interest in celebrating the national days of France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark or Norway.
Or England.

I blame the Guinness Marketing team.
 
Went out twatting people with no Irish heritage with my shillelagh yesterday. Felt grand.
