The biggest load of crap ever, which the masses use as an excuse to get drunk and behave like ridiculous fools. And every year boringly predictable. Lots of young folk up the town having a good time, what’s not to like. I used to enjoy the day on the lash with my Irish flatmates when I was younger. Great laugh it was. Not a fan of U2 on a loop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care, enjoy your observations of young folk having a good time whilst ‘celebrating’ another country’s Saint. It'll probably all end in tears though.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I've loads of Irish ancestry but I've never had any inclination to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, tbh if it hadn't been mentioned on the TV I wouldn't have known it was today. I also have French ancestry and guess what, I don't celebrate Bastille Day either. I don't have a problem with anybody else celebrating whatever they want, just my personal choice that I don't.

Also that the orange in the tricolour represents Protestantism.. the flag being a "gift" from a group of French peasant women (obviously based on their own flag) to show peace/unity (white) between the Catholic (green) and Protestant (orange) sides. So when certain elements wave/fly this flag they are waving a flag originally intended for peace.

I don't think so, CS. It's probably more to do with "Oirish" fatigue. Celtic fans, tricolours, terrorist adoration, ludicrous songs about joining "the IRA tomorrow morn"...it's phoney, pathetic and sickening all year round without that mob having a specific day for it. This is Scotland. Virtually all of the bams who indulge in such shite are Scottish. Whether they like it or not. Same goes for the quintessential bams on the other side of the fence.

Room for both, but St Patrick's day drinking and greenity is just about getting folk to part with their cash. Great if you're 19. Less so if you're an actual adult. Does anyone actually celebrate St Andrews day? And if they do what do they do? I know there is the usual public state announcement from Bute House.
