I never could understand those 3rd or 4th generation 'Irish' Americans who celebrate St. Patricks Day.....WTF? My mother and Grandmother are Irish but I was born in England making me ENGLISH so what the hell do they have to celebrate if I don't??? BTW my paternal grandmother was Irish aswell so I am probably more Irish than almost anyone in America. I just don't get it!!!

I agree with that. I have 2 Irish parents but was born in London and raised in London and still live in England (sunny Essex!) so I consider my self 100% English! Besides my ol man and ol dear get me on t1ts anyway!:lol:
Doubt you will find someone more English and patriotic than me even if it is a crime these days! Anyway that's a seperate argument and should not be brought up today.
Let the Irish (and their hangers on ;)) enjoy their day and get totally blitzed while I sit here at work! I'm not too bitter! :evil:
Happy Paddy's day to you paddies
 
Point taken, but the thing about St Patricks Day is that everyone celebrates the Irish!

They held the big annual parade in downtown Moscow yesterday. I overslept (missed it again!) but the missus went out and took some funny photos.

Welcome to NY! Can't think of a worse introduction - I avoid the parade and the mobs of drunken suburbanites it spawns like the plague - The new New York St. Paddy Day's tradition is going to see the Pogues at Roseland- I didn't make it tonight, but last night (with Billy Bragg) was beyond 8)
 
I know what you mean, some guy was thrown through Bloomingdales window yesterday after the parade :eek:.

I did meet Billy Connolly though which was a bit surreal:confused:

Off to see the Rangers play Pittsburgh tonight which should be a laugh!

not at all jonny but I believe one of your posts quoted you moaning about celebrating it with 'plastic paddies'!

me personally, I don't celebrate it as I'm not irish so I couldn't give a toss.

Name the only team in the World Cup finals of 1990 and 1994 where every single member of the squad played football outside their own country???

Pretty obvious really ;)
