It's Saint Patrick's Day!

[porterjack]

Guess the Irish are very insulted by all the non Irish celebrating St Paddy's day then.

i know a few locally who are, but i could not speak for the majority, i just hate stereotypes

you speak of St Georges day, how is that celebrated in the UK?

In Canada we celebrate Canada Day on July 1st and we party because of who we are, our inclusiveness, our diversity our shared cultures, we celebrate but we do not expect anyone else to wave the maple leaf

Well, hanging out loads of St George flags, traditional food and drink and morris dancing but as with most celebrations, its mainly just an excuse for a piss up.

[darkcgi]

me either who gives a rats ass
I actually think it is complementary that people want to celebrate it that don't "own it" sorta say
the fact that the culture is so enjoyable and liked

Definitely, I think it's great for such a small country like ours to have such big and worldwide celebrations
