You know what?
Posted on | March 17, 2008 | 16 Comments
The only thing more tedious than hearing somebody go on about how the Christmas decorations get put up earlier and earlier year is the bullshit, hand-wringing about how Irish people just use Paddy’s Day as an excuse to get drunk.
We get drunk all the time. Why the fuck would we need an excuse?

Yeah, excuses are for NOT drinking.

I’ve just spent a St. Patricks Weekend , it was only a Day , back in the day , now it’s an even longer excuse for having a few gargles.

Got to agree with Monkey Balls on this one. To celebrate the day I’ve ordered a copy of The Book from Amazon. It had better be good although to be fair I’m not expecting Joyceian standards. But £5.49 is still money after all…

Steady on there Mad Dog. Don’t get carried away in your celebration. Did it go well for you? I’d say the best part was clicking on the ORDER button. Am I right?
Personally, I would’ve waited ’til next week. £5.49 is still drinking money after all…

Including P&P I hope Mad Dog?

You need no excuse for drinking, however, there has to be a damn good reason people all over the US are scoffing enormous hideous plates of corned beef today. What’s that all about? Feet should be corned, not beef.

Couldn’t find you last night Itchy. Got some funny looks trying though.

That’s the hateful thing – Regulars struggle for service because places are packed with part-timers – the sort of cunts who usually drink only when they are thirsty.
No more knacker jokes here Twenty ?

Why is the Book title and author name at the bottom of every page, instead of the top, its really messing with my OCD???

I’m sure nowhere else comes near the plastic paddies down under when it comes to making a show of themselves on Paddy’s Day. Gobshites.

Judging by the numbers of ‘drinkers’ on the town last night I wouldn’t be surprized if a few more publicans up and down the country are gone out of business by this time next year. Are the great days of the shebeens coming back into fashion aided and abetted by the conservatory and the decking and the chape drink ?

I couldn’t agree more. Of all the countries in the UK (plus the extra bit underneath the part of Ireland we stole), you’re the only one that actually has a holiday for your national saint. And you’re the least likely to need an excuse to get wankered. OK, the Scots are the same. Mind, they get 2 days’ public holiday at New Year.
I think Paddy’s day is more an excuse for Aussies and Yanks to pretend they’re Irish (or drag up the fact that one of their relatives 18 generations ago died from lack of potatoes and that they hate the English) and go out and get pissed.
