Finnegan Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 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. I went into this thread with an open mind believing you could be Irish. You just convinced me otherwise with "cheap Guinness and silly hats." I kid, I kid, good for you! It does annoy me a bit though, not so much just for the Plastic Paddies but because the whole thing's just a bit plastic really. Have to say, though, if you live right in the middle of a rough neighbourhood with a fair Irish contingent it's a fooking dangerous night out. Haha. Out on St. Pads in Leicester I never really saw much more than chavs and students in stupid hats. Night out on St Pads in Wood Green and you take your life into your own hands - the night's not over until seven million Pykies have turned up to fight each other.
Dr The Singh Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 that's a bit harsh, i've never thought that! Your not that typr of moron, infact i don't think your a moron at all but I image your a part time cross dresser that wants to be full time!!!
Alexikokopops Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 I think we should dye more rivers green for it
Shrenchel 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. Yeah the 'great atmosphere' which is usually made of some mongy students acting even more like drunken pricks than usual, boasting about how many pints of the black stuff they've drunk and thinking they're a bunch of jokers because they've got some shit guinness hat.
Webbo Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 If people want to wear silly hats and drink Guinness why do they have to wait until St Patricks day. It's all a load of bollox to me.
General Smuts Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 I'm half Irish and love to drink, but im not out tonight. I think theres something physically wrong with me.
Phube Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 Interesting Facts of the day (courtesy of the Metro): All pubs used to be closed in Ireland on St. Guinness Day. So where did the drinking comes from? The traditional colour to wear was Dark Blue! The good news is I'm 1/32 Irish... and could give a shoite!!
Thracian Posted 17 March 2009 Posted 17 March 2009 I agree, it's a shame. 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... Since when have the English nationalists had a monopoly on "nutjobs" or "cretins"? And if anyone needs to "rise up" it is the people of this land against those who constantly fan the flames of nationalism with their own cretinous behaviour because, right now, the growth in nationalism is greater than I've experienced, or wanted to experience, for 60 years. After the ceaseless devaluing of all things English by this corrupt and shameless Government it's a wonder we're still allowed a St Georges Day.

Finnegan Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 Deleted a lot of shit for obvious reasons. There's banter, Ash, then there's also just retarded. Keep it civil or don't bother. That wasn't an invitation to keep being a twat. If you want to serve a ban then carry on, if not leave the thread for the revellers and go be a nuisance elsewhere. And for the love of God, fox123, Essex and co' - don't encourage him.
fox123 Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 I personally think the Irish people are sound, if you have lived up in the North (like I did for two years), you will understand and see that it is the antoginising loyalists marching that cause majority of the shite, and the after math is the Nationalists retaliating.
Unabomber Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 At the end of the day it's not about where you're from or who ya know, it about going out and getting smashed then forgetting you cared about Ireland and doing it all a year later.

SOCCERROO FOX Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 St Paddys day needs to be on a Saturday each year.
Ric Flair Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 I've found out that i'm a quarter German, do the salmons have a St. Patrick's Day or owt?
Scow Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 I'm half Irish and I'm not a fan of the Guinness. Though I am a drunk, so that reinforces the stereotype somewhat.

The first proper celebration was in New York in 1761 I've found out that i'm a quarter German, do the salmons have a St. Patrick's Day or owt? Oktoberfest!

Floating Fox Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 Yeah the 'great atmosphere' which is usually made of some mongy students acting even more like drunken pricks than usual, boasting about how many pints of the black stuff they've drunk and thinking they're a bunch of jokers because they've got some shit guinness hat. :laugh:
Uncle Albert Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 I have to say I'm now a fan of Guiness. You cant wack a Pint of Guiness at all, I actually dont mind drinking it when going out for a sociable one. I look like a dick when I order it but hey who cares.
