St Paddy\'s Day. Anyone doing anything?
This Wednesday is St Patrick's Day, patron Saint of Ireland, and it suddenly occurred to me that I don't ever recall seeing any Irish ppl (from either side of the border) here on the Shrapnel forum. Do we have any Irish here?
Anyway, despite having no Irish family or history at all, I always make a point of celebrating Guinness Day, and this year is no exception. We were planning to fly to Dublin, but that fell through. Instead the wife and I have booked 2 days off work (one for St Patrick's & one for recovery) and will be spending Wednesday at O' Neill's Oirish-ish theme pub in Bournemouth, where there will be much drinkings and Diddly-diddly live musickings and many, many Guinesseseses.
Anyone else making an event of it this year?

Re: St Paddy\'s Day. Anyone doing anything?
pub crawl, what else? Only one of my friends is Irish, but we'll get together a fierce bunch of drinkers none the less.
Amusing anicdote there: my buddy is O'Brien is Black / Irish, and if anyone ever wonders if there really is such a thing, he asks who they think invented the McRib. His joke, not mine.

Re: St Paddy\'s Day. Anyone doing anything?
Well, today, I'm celebrating St. Roderic's Day and for next few days St. Matilda, St. Louise de Marillac and St. Julian of Antioch. Think I'll rest on St. Patrick's then back at celebrating for St. Cyril of Jerusalem, St. Joseph and the double wammy on Saturday of both St. Herbert and St. Wulfran. Why limit yourself to one Saints day each year?
