Just to keep you up to date on this special SPECIAL day... It's sunny, as it usually is on St Patrick's Day. James L Brooks and Nancy Cartwright are standing outside the GPO celebrating the Irishness of the Simpsons. Val Doonican is the Grand Marshall in his hometown of Waterford - yes! he's alive .

Foreign tongues are ILLEGAL on pro-boards. Delete your thread and give yourself a warning immediately. AH

I do not celebrate Catholic holidays. Sorry.
If I raised a glass to St Patrick the sound of my Grandfathers turning in their graves would keep me awake all night.

Your speech seems to be affected by some kind of neurological damage. The Irish PR Machine is undoubtedly one of the best in the world.

Anyway, this Irish guy goes into a pub, and I can't remember the details, but basically he was a bit thick. Isn't that funny?

Anyway, apologies to our Irish darl, but I don't do Saints either, and not one for drinking alcohol much either. I shall think fondly of Ireland and its funny peeps (whose accent I do a very good impression of) when having my next cuppa tea though

You need a punchline like "they all kill each other" or something Oh yeah, good one. "The Irish are really stupid and kill each other a lot" Surely only the mind-controlling PC Brigade in their uniforms with shiny buttons could possibly object to such a clever and amusing joke. Down with them!

It's all so confusing, I guess, but at Christmas people 'do' St Nicholas and Jesus and people 'do' St George and St Valentine other days - we do all sorts of things and conveniently step over the religion...
... the half a million people celebrating at Dublin's parade, never mind around the rest of the world, are not doing anything religious either, except if you count a giant King Kong float as religion.
It's just an Irish day - a bit of a larf.

A very happy St. Patrick's Day to Trubs. I have a couple of Irish branches in my family tree: the Gilligans and the Drinans (do you know them,Trubs? Probably not, they were from Cork) so at least I will be raising my glass of Jamesons to you tonight. Except this looks like the black stuff

cheers! No, I don't know of them but you might be more Irish than I am, I reckon, - so I'll raise an Irish Coffee to you tonight.
