An Irish friend of mine used to grumble on Paddy's day "Feck, all the plastic Paddies are coming out again to get plastered!"

I've spent a few years in Dublin as a student, the locals had the same attitude towards St. Patrick's day as the locals in Munich have when it comes to the Octoberfest... You never hear people grumbling "Bloody tourists being drunk and puking everywhere" as much as then...


That's funny, and kind of what I figured.

I don't make a big deal about the day, myself.
As far back as I've traced, I have no Irish in me so absolutely no reason to celebrate or whatever the purpose for the holiday is.
Life itself is enough reason to drink.


And if you say that to an Irish bloke, he's going to offer you some Irish in you...

LO an irishman on my feed just posted this...

""Its just the amount of people who suddenly become Irish because their grandfather drank a bottle of Jamesons or their grandmother once ate a packet of Murphys crisps.""



Hmmm... I suspect mine may have eaten a potato or two.



And mayhaps did mine. Daddy Satyr is right, perhaps I get a mite touchy about it, but St. Patrick's Day (never 'St. Patty's in my house), was always observed more quietly. When I was little, mom made me go to Mass, and my dad would abstain from drinking at all that day.

Well, the short form for Patrick (or Pádraig sounds like Porrick) is Paddy, Pattty would be a feminized form and I can't see that going over well...

No Irish ancestry in this house either.

Direct Welsh descendant (traceable back to the original Pikemen) with a smidge of 10th century German mercenary.
The OH has Scottish traces.

Meh. Who cares??

First heard at McGuire's Irish Pub back in the late 1970s. It was used by the owner to announce "last call".

Status: offline 		I have never ever celebrated St Patricks Day. No idea why. Lol. Most of the time I didn't even KNOW it was St Pat's until someone pinched me for not wearing green.
I didn't know it was today until I saw this thread.
