Happy Paddy's Day

Post by Seareach »

Top of the morning to ye all!

To be sure, to be sure...it's the day of leprechauns and four leaf clovers, of pots of gold at the end of rainbows, and a day for Guinness and all things green....

Have lots of craic!

And watch out for the little people.

:hairs: Saying "top of the morning" to an actual Irish person is like coming to England and asking for tea and crumpets while you watch the soccer - i.e. life-threatening :lol:

A cheerful St Patrick's Day to all Irish people, and "knock it off, you're not Irish" to everyone else. :P

To be sure, to be sure. ;)
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.


Full of the heavens and time.

Knock it off you're not Irish
Nothing wrong with looking for an excuse to party...but people certanly take it way too far.

Even though every bar in Halifax has SPD specials on...people will line up for two or three hours to get into one of the Irish Pubs.

Or saying "Good'ay mate, where's me digareedo and me boomarang? I'm huntin' dingo's so they stop eating me baby 'roos." to an Austrailian?

Um...what's the expression that the Irish use? It's called "taking the piss".

Given the fact that my partner is Irish (ie: from County Cork, and has only lived in Australia for...um...5 years). Given that makes Son of Seareach half Irish. Yeah, I'm an imposter (although have you heard of the "Butlers of Ireland?).

As for "life threatening": hmmm...maybe the Irish people are different to the once I have met. I distinctly remember sitting in a snug in Kinsale with a whole lot of Irish people who kept saying to me "come on, do it again" (ie: in my cracking Irish accent saying "top of the morning to you, have you seen any of the little people? I saw tirty tree and a turd of them sitting on my tiny tum"...and they were all *very* Irish...and didn't seem to mind).

So, yeah...I assume I'm in the "A cheerful St Patrick's Day to all Irish people" category? Or do you beg to differ!

Maybe I should have used a ;) eh? Bah.

The Irish people I know reflexively punch anyone who says "top of the morning", but that might be because they all live in England and our sourness has rubbed off on them...

I had no idea that it was St. patricks Day but I still went out and got drunk. That sort of intuitive thinking must mean I have a strong irish ancestory I knew nothing about. :P
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

I got an Irish pub as my "local", so we traipsed off there from 2pm on Saturday. I can at least claim Celtic heritage - mah peeps came from the Venetii -northeast Italy - and they were Celts before the Romans bullied their way in. Hence my "affinity" with the Irish. Plus, I had green sprayed into my hair. And I can riverdance. And Bono pulled me up on stage to dance with him back in 1983. And I've been to Ireland four times. I qualify as "partly Irish".... :lol:

Best thing is, I got stonkered on 5 pints of Kilkenny, sang "Fields of Athenry" at top o' me lungs along with a horde of green-swathed pissheads, and the pub finally had some male talent there. I met a Kiwi bloke who'd lived in Ireland for a few months while travelling & we hit it off so well, he asked for my phone number & we're going on a date next weekend... 8)

gotta love Paddy's Day! :biggrin:
