Or Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit as they say in Ireland. I was meant to be born on this day 1972, hung on for another 3 days.
Hope if yer drinking Guiness on this day and only this day of the year ( Guinness isn’t great),that you can’t move off the white charger in the morning.
Was going to call for a drink after my evening walk but remembered it was St Patrick's Day and went home for a microwave curry instead.
Last night, we got back from Lanzarote where they celebrate St Patrick’s WEEK culminating in a big celebration today. The place was packed to the rafters with blind drunk (almost all middle aged men) Irish. All displaying some symbol of their proud heritage whether that be Ireland shirts, most had flags on their balconies and some even had Irish bunting up around their rooms. But all the pro Irish stuff kind of more came across as anti English. And before I am jumped upon as being some form of closet racist, the above is just my observations and I am, myself, actually half Irish anyway.
I'm Irish, you're correct. Lanzarote attracts a certain type of person. The type of Irish people who visit Lanzarote in general (big generalisation) are from poor areas and uneducated, they wear their Irishness as a badge of honour in a very similar way to many English people do of a similar demographic who frequent similar holiday destinations. The only small mercy is this type of person is quite a small proportion of the Irish population.
Me n Mrs tonjy 'celebrated' st pats in the golden last, Scarborough. Apparently the only loyalist bar in the country.
