They invented a beer that is also a food, so you can go on the piss all weekend without needing to eat.

They also had the good sense to have Paddy’s day coincide with the Cheltenham festival, so any Oirish winners can be celebrated with extra gusto.

Coincides with a big rugby day today too.

There will be many pissed up Paddies in Cardiff today, conveniently on their way back from Cheltenham.

There used to be a big parade through Prestwich and into town via Cheetham Hill in Manchester for Paddy’s Day. Not sure if they still do it.

Quite surreal watching literally thousands of Irish people on floats celebrate through the ethnic ghetto that is Cheetham Hill.

if its anything like here, any floats will be blown away.

It's an ex Pat and second generation thing. Was in Australia for St George's day once and was a bit surprised as it was a bigger deal than it is here.
I tend to go out but only because I see mates with families that I only see a couple of times a year now. I like to think of it as an Irish New year's Eve...

Because getting pissed on Guinness is a lot more appealing than prancing round a pole wearing ribbons and tapping tambourines.

That, and St George's day is racist, obvs.

Nah they know it's tomorrow. They're all talking about it though and explaining how it's such a great day because of the Irish connection to Liverpool.

Yawn

The heavy Irish influence in Liverpool is simply a fact and yes it is a great day in town, always has been.

Which means a large amount of a certain black stuff will be drunk.

We all knew someone who was partial to a drop or 2.

So on this day, St Patricks day.

Cheers Paul, Mr Burly Hurley.

Anyone come out with some bollocks about how St George’s day has been banned in their town for fear of offending Muslims?

No? Let me know when xx

Well St George wasn't actually English, if that helps.

Plus there was no dragons.

Not sure how you took me saying it wasn't a fact with a yawn comment but whatever. Each to their own, I can't get my head around celebrating another countries day. They aren't part of the UK or **** all.
