Even though the parades will be on the Sunday, it is every Irish man and woman's sacred duty to get pissed and drink green Guiness on St Paddy's day.

Of course I'm not the best specimem of Irishmen, but will still try to do my bit, and reckon a nice traditional curry followed by alcohol will keep St Pat from rolling in his grave.

Proposing a curry at an unusual destination well Ethiopian curry followed by whatever alcohol suits at that paragon of Irischicity O'Shea's Irish pub

Of course all this is an invitation for people to to demand to go for a proper curry, and then onto the Castle instead, and me I'm done with dictating I am.

If you were a good Irishman then you'd know that Paddys day is on the 15th of March this year and not the 17th like normal.

I'm obviously not a very good Irishman, The sleepless quizmaster is indeed correct. I thought most of the pissups were happening on Saturday because its like Saturday, not out of respect for the church!!!

Would still like a curry and drinks on Monday however.
