St. Paddy's Day

[PMC]

Four-point-five million Irish in Ireland....

Yet the whole world celebrates St Paddy's!  

Before I'm flamed for saying the above, I should point out that my maternal grandmother was from County Cork, therefore I'm officially allowed to celebrate St Patrick's day legitimately.

:-D

All sorts of people are walking past my office window drinking Guinness out of cans and wearing Shamrock T Shirts.  And I'm working.....

:-(


I shall make up for it on Friday as our office is all going on a big night out.

What makes St Paddy's day worthy of celebration is that the Irish have a reputation for being friendly and knowing how to have a good time.

As an Englishman, I have to say that we aren't quite as carefree about celebrating our national day as the scots, welsh, irish etc.  

BTW, a few years back our local council granted the bars an extension to opening times on St Paddy's day.  An application to do the same on ST George's was rejected on the same grounds!
