SpruceBringsteen Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Having worked in hospitality over St Patricks, the rugger and *shudder* the Royal Highland Show the last couple of years, it became quickly apparently to me that "enjoying the craic" is actually Irish for "drinking until you pass out and shit yourself".

G.Wright Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I was in Lebowskis, argyle Street, yesterday getting dinner with the wee one before disney on ice. Place was rammed. They had some sort of Irish folk play list on which clearly hadn't been checked as a wee sample of the sash came on. Very quickly it was turned down, to be replaced with some generic nonsense before they resumed with the Poges. Made me giggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same in England where they largely seem reticent about celebrating St George's Day. A few years ago a northern Council (Oldham IIRC) weren't allowed to fly the St George on St George's day 'as it might be seen as racist'. Ludicrous.

The fact that it’s done almost Europe wide, plus the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand only highlights, rather than disproves, this point. I absolutely hate ‘Poddys day’.
