    As many of you may know... The ultimate knob rot has decided to christen me Paddy boy/Irish man as a result of a long weekend I spent there with my family when I was 14.

    As the boards resident Irishmen I thought we should celebrate St Paddy's day with a few Irish jokes. I'll start off...

    Stupid ****ing day.

    Daft parade of ****ing gyppo trampwagons essentially closed this City on Sunday to drag their ****ty horses, caravan/floats around with Ronan Keating blasting non-stop.

    Famous for chasing Snakes out of Ireland. Course you did pal.

    Drunk div.

    I despise Englishmen who celebrate St Patrick's day. You're English man, you daft sods. I bet half the twats don't know when St George's day is. Bastards.

    I don't celebrate either to be honest. Wasn't George a Palestinian/Turkish bloke?

    Allegedly. I don't see it as a celebration to the bloke in particular, just a sense of possibly misplaced national pride.

    I always make a point of celebrating St George's Day with the English flag and emblem on show...It always bugs the **** out of me when you see more English people celebrating Ireland's saint, especially when they were them stupid big green hats..
    However, I do like a pint or two of Guinness every now and again..

    Spot on.
    The Yanks go mad for it too especially in Boston were they've funded the Provo's for years.
    Gets on my tits, most of them probably couldn't point Ireland out on a world map.

    When Ireland broke from the UK in 1923 Eamon DeValera (a find Paddy name) encouraged all Irish Americans to return and rebuild Eire and that the cottages would have a light in the window to guide them home. The main consensus was that they would return when there was food in the larder as well.

    My great grandparents were Irish but I feel no affiliation to celebrate it any more than the bit of Cornish and Essex that were my ancestors.

    Yes I have a picture of U999 being refuelled in Tullamore harbour and I also have a secret photograph (taken by my great uncle X {can't say his real name for obvious reasons}) of an Irish spy looking up the kilt of an SOE secretary for any secrets but apart from that what proof do you need?

    St Georges day 25th of April,I believe (song by the Irish boy band the Batchelors).Why do we not celebrate this day as the Irish do for St Patricks,the Scots for St Andrew and the Welsh for St David or am I the only one who does not celebrate St Georges day.
    Anyway I am going to have a Dutch tipple as my nightcap,as we still have the bottle of Advocatt in the cupboard from a few years ago
