    There's some seriously miserable people on here.

    What's wrong with going out having a few beers and wearing a ***** green hat?

    If you don't enjoy it, don't get involved but can't understand why people having a bit of fun would annoy you?

    St Patrick - English or Welsh
    St George - Greek
    St Andrew - From what is today Jordan
    St David - Actually Welsh

    propaganda??
    thought that was a real goose
    don't have to be irish to celebrate st patrick or english to celebrate st george for that matter.
    interesting you brought the nationality of st patrick being british, wasn't st george an eastern european?

    Correct .. It would seriously piss all these ENGLISH people on here to realise that all the original Englishmen fled to Wales .. so they should embrace sheep shagging and stop being so miserable....Live and let live...

    Sorry, was more aimed at the guy who said it annoys the fck out of him n the other guy who was moaning about the pubs, I should have probably quoted.

    I can understand thinking that the people who claim to be Irish because their Grandma once met Terry Wogan are a bit stupid but seriously if people going out for a laugh on St Paddys day annoys you then you're probably the problem, not them.

    If people want to go out and have a good knees up then what's the problem?

    People this day and age concentrate more on what other people are doing than what's happening in there own life's!
