St Patrick's Day - SV650.org

Watched the St Pat's Day march here in Liverpool today. It was pathetic, probably about 20 people with Irish flags, a small band and a huge police escort. Went into the town centre, the pubs are festooned with tacky 'Irish' bunting, those huge plastic hands, leprechauns, and Guinness posters. And more importantly, rammed with English drunks

It's an Irish event, so why do we try and jump on the bandwagon. Just another publicity stunt to get us in the pub.

I vote for a St Georges day or something similar. St Patrick can stay in the Emerald Isle, that's where he's meant to be celebrated

Met my wife 5 years ago today, while celebrating in Canada. So tonight it'll be dinner and a bottle of wine rather than green beer
