lcfc_jme Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 Especially as a student. £1.20 a pint of Guinness, 2 hats already in the bag (1 black, 1 red) and it isn't even mid-day. I love my life.
lcfc_jme Posted 17 March 2009 Author Posted 17 March 2009 Plastic Paddy. Infact, sack it. I don't need to explain my family. Mehhhhhhhhhhh.
Darkzzz_ Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 I wouldn't be allowed to exist if I were to totally dismiss St Patrick's day, my granddad is a very proud Irish man, I am half Irish and he has made sure we celebrate this day every year. I don't go into town like most do as an excuse to get pissed, we all go round his house and have a few there while he reminisces about the good days in Dublin.
Babylon Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 Bloody hell, didn't take that too well. Obviously it's a touchy subject
Bert Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 I wish St.Georges Day was celebrated like Paddy's day is. Most people would (Some probably still do) just use it as an extra piss up, but it's nowhere near as celebrated as this day is. I think St.Patrick's day is more celebrated here than St.Georges day is over here, which in truth I find quite sad. But never mind.
Babylon Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 I think St.Patrick's day is more celebrated here than St.Georges day is over here, which in truth I find quite sad. It's amazing how many people suddenly have an Irish grandparent around St Pat's day.
purpleronnie Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 You should see it in the states, no-one seems to be American today.....Cant blame em!
lcfc_jme Posted 17 March 2009 Author Posted 17 March 2009 Obviously it's a touchy subject Nah.. Not touchy, just mundane and irritating 'cos of people like you every year. I agree that a lot of people suddenly have Irish relatives they know nothing about and haven't previously mentioned at this time every year, but it's not fair to tar everyone with the same brush, that's all.

It was a joke you silly sod Take a chill pill with your Guinness.
lcfc_jme Posted 17 March 2009 Author Posted 17 March 2009 It was a joke you silly sod Take a chill pill with your Guinness. Probably the 6th time I've had that 'joke' directed at me already today! Should have known better than to take you seriously outside of LCFC, really. Schoolboy error on my part.

But you've only the right wing nutjobs who seemingly always infiltrate any well meaning attempt at English patriotism to blame for that. Until us English are strong enough to rise up against these cretins and expose them for what they are, we won't be able to have a decent St. George's Day celebration in this country. Anyway, Happy Guinness Day everyone...
Darkzzz_ Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 It annoys me too that people suddenly have Irish relatives on this day hence why I refuse to go into town, because half of them don't have any Irish blood.
lcfc_jme Posted 17 March 2009 Author Posted 17 March 2009 Ha ha no worries bud... someone was going to say it on here so I thought I'd leap in first Expected it more from Finnegan or Kilworth than you.. I'm not used to seeing you outside of LCFC! I agree, it's a shame.

Until us English are strong enough to rise up against these cretins and expose them for what they are, we won't be able to have a decent St. George's Day celebration in this country. Never going to happen though, because English people by and large are just too apathetic to do anything for themselves. Unless it involves jumping on a fast-paced bandwagon. Or having a huge panic.

Number 6 Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 I love St Paddy's day, it's great. I have no Irish relatives whatsoever but still go out and celebrate just for the great atmosphere in the pubs.
Dr The Singh Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 It's amazing how many people suddenly have an Irish grandparent around St Pat's day. Mine are, wtf you trying to get at!!!

The Irish are alot more accomodating to non irish in there celebrations, where as the morons that come out for St George's seem to think they still have a massive empire and everyone else is still there slaves!!!

Darkzzz_ Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 Why does it matter ? Well it does to me because some of the idiots in this town (Kettering) are usually singing anti-Irish songs in the very pub they will be dancing around in tonight with their Irish hats on, etc. They always do and that's why I stay away. I am not saying all places are the same and that is just my view on it.
