Happy St Paddys day!

[Josh]

I don't drink but those of you that do, raise a pint for me. 25% Irish here. My great grandmother spoke fluent Gaelic from what my mom tells me.

Nah, I take today off from drankin'

That's what I was thinking.

I'm about to go make green clover shaped pancakes in celebration. Also, we shall all be wearing green. I even convinced Knyte to wear a green shirt to work.

spangelet was pinchin' as soon as she got up, regardless of if we had on green or not. actually, she was dying for spange to walk downstairs because she was banking on him forgetting, which he did. he promptly changed his shirt after he was pinched.

I have not yet revealed to my kids the joys of pinching for St Patty's Day. I'm sure Haylee will learn next year, no need to rush it.

Happy St Patrick's day, the patron saint of Ireland, who was English. w00t!

Anybody going to get horribly drunk? I'm probably not, I have no money, although we are going to the pub after work today so there is potential seeing as said pub has 8% scrumpy cider.

How do you Irish fellows feel about St Paddys? Commerical holiday? Time of celebration? Basically an excuse to drink and act like a knob?

he was welsh but thanks

fluke

they pull the scrum down every time - just as bad as mainland europe. kicking game is okay, that's the only way wales will beat a team.

that and their new manager was the irish #2 for years. they'll not beat us saturday.

Nah, they're nice folk, really lovely country. They're just like an extension of England I guess. They have their language and all but they don't really speak it very much etc., and we don't find them annoying, a source of amusement perhaps but there's no dislike.

We have a huge parade here every year. It was last Saturday. I've been going for the last 5 years.

due to my continued attempt to not get wasted during the week anymore i will not be enjoying the festivities tonight, however i did celebrate on saturday at the sailing club.

i have not been to the Dallas St. Paddy's Day parade before, but I did have to drive through the traffic from it once trying to get from The Village to Grapevine. Fucking horrendous.

Neat! I like the desaturated ones. It's always a neat effect for street shots.
