Placid Report post Posted March 17, 2005 The english seem to celebrate St. Patricks Day more than they do St. George's day As we're more or less an binge drinking nation (harsh but true), perhaps we're using this as an excuse to get drunk? Happy St. Patricks day to those that celebrate it (i.e. the Irish). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enlia Report post Posted March 17, 2005 As we're more or less an binge drinking nation (harsh but true), perhaps we're using this as an excuse to get drunk? Think you hit the nail on the head there old boy.... This is a country of inveterate binge-drinkers, which the government is attempting to curb by putting 1p onto a pint of beer and allowing pubs to stay open 24 hours a day. Yay!! That's bound to work.... (Note: The emotions expressed in this post are mostly sarcasm aimed at the UK Government, not at anyone else.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, lets make beer more expensive and attempt to stop excessive drinking, by allowing the drinkers to drink 24 hours a day instead of 12....Wow, what a government that is!

Paladin Report post Posted March 20, 2005 I love my city! We don't have any connection whatsoever with the irish, and very few of them live here, but we all had a great booze-up on St. Patrick's Day that lasted through the week-end (and now a big hangover...). Yey! Is this in the spirit of this celebration or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arnieman Report post Posted March 20, 2005 I think he converted the Irish to Catholicism, then he chased all the snakes out of Ireland... (quite funny, when you note that there never were snakes in Ireland... must've done a good job then.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master_Templar Report post Posted March 20, 2005 Not entirely true, Arnieman. Legond tells that he chased all the snakes out but one, which would explane the fact that there is only one type of reptile in Ireland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arnieman Report post Posted March 21, 2005 Ah. Thx for the info, I figured I didn't have the full story... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mireille Report post Posted March 21, 2005 I think he converted the Irish to Catholicism, then he chased all the snakes out of Ireland... (quite funny, when you note that there never were snakes in Ireland... must've done a good job then.) In this context, "snakes" are believed to symbolize pagans. Or pagan gods.
