Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day. May the snakes never come back.

You beat me to it, Happy St.Patricks Day

happy st. patrick's day!!!

last night i was trying to explain St. Patrick's day to the girls (4 and 7) and they weren't grasping the concept- and the 7yo couldn't get past celebrating a holiday that wasn't German.

Never met an Irish person who gives a flying feck about St Patricks Day (funny, all the comments so far are from non-Irish-Irish). Not wishing to offend, mind. Least Guinness in the pub'll be fresher.

ach, the ones I know are looking forward to going out and getting pissed on guinness and getting free snogs from random girls

to my way of thinking they'd have been far better off without any of this christianity nonsense, as would we all, but there you go...

happy st. patrick's day anyway
don't drink too much

Yep, Happy St. Pat-hicks to everyone who needs an excuse to get sloshed.

Happy St. Paddy's Day to the Irish.

ps- nice logo today!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

yup, happy paddy's day and let's hope your rugby team don't celebrate too much this evening! they've an important job to do tomorrow

I find quite the opposite. Every Irish person I know both living within Ireland and without loves to celebrate the day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig daoibh!!

Happy St. Patricks Day

Today's my mum's birthday. This has meant I've always had a good excuse not to go out and "celebrate" St Paddy's Day, although now that I'm living in a different country, I've had to come up with different excuses.

Ran out of excuses last year though. It was actually OK.

Happy Paddy's Day

Will see if we can have some green tequila cocktails tonight to do the right thing

Order a Best of Green tonight : Non-Porn Tequila Cocktail Link I Promise!

You didn't see the thousands all along Leopoldstraße and gathered on Odeonsplatz last Sunday?
Biggest Celebration on Mainland Europe, that was.!
Beats the way you lot celebrate St. George anyway.
Keep your cave warm and don't go outside.
You might get involved in the real world.

@topsy- i did the same thing (quickly clicked while thinking- oh yay fun st paddy's day image and Jule will like this)-- umm yeah... i grabbed her and quickly entertained her (jule is 4 yr old!).
so boo- nothing to do w/ st patrick's day! (and, if i may add, a few gross pictures too)

@pike Have you ever met an Irish Person?

@skoolboyerror Amadáin!

Once again... Happy St. Patricks Day!!!

shouldn't it be "amadan"?
I'm just askin, I'm no expert...

The word ending is pronounced longer so it gets the fada, although I'm not sure about the 'i' as I thought that would make it plural.

And for a little more Irish, the first verse of the national anthem. An anthem which we are proud to say ranks as one of the most boring around. I give you, The Solider's Song...

Sinne Fianna Fáil
A tá fé gheall ag Éirinn,
Buion dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tír ár sinsir feasta
Ní fhagfar faoin tiorán ná faoin tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna baoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le gunna screach faoi lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaidh Amhrán na bhFiann.

Happy St. Paddy's...I'll be out at some irish bar or another I believe...I always wonder if my gf will be able to carry me home...

Allow me to clarify. The term "Saint Patrick's Day", to many Irish people I've spoken to (my mother's mother was from Galway, I had a Dubliner girlfriend for 3 years etc. etc.), has become simply a tag for a day when people get trolleyed and celebrate everything that has come to be associated with the Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck.

Most Irish people I've met don't give a flying feck about the intended meaning of St. Patrick's Day: a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

Ah, thanks for that. That was great.

I wonder if the Toytown logo will be red, white, and blue for the 4th of July.

It might be if you create and submit a suitable one. I did the St.Patricks one above for last year. So don't wonder about it, make it happen.

...or red and white on 23rd April.

naah.

There you have it then.

Ah Ha!
That explains the "had".
Can't blame her.

HSPD

@garibaldi. Don't think it was personal. She died in a car accident.

Happy St. Pat's Day!

and you have a problem with this?

Check out the parade on Dublin's O'Connell Street. Looks wet 'n' windy over there on the Island...

er.. no. St Patrick might though.

i think good ol' st patrick would be glad people were honoring him whilst highly enjoying themselves- what better way to do it! would he rather have everyone kneeling on pews and cursing him in their heads... i think not...

@mere - I could not agree more.

Might I just clarify a few things?
You chaps are all celebrating in honour of Maewyn Succat
whereas I do so in honour of Palladius.
The Americans do the honours for St. Patrick.
Is everyone now clear on the issue?
Good!

at least it isn't fecking snowing

It's also my birthday today. So happy birthday to me!

Happy St Bell the catricks day
