Right, I'm off to the pub when I get out of work.
It's great having a national holiday that is drink dependent.
Have a whisky for us!
Cheers!

Cheers to you!

I'll have to avoid the pubs tomorrow as they will:

a)charge cover,
b)have lineups, and
c)be full of annoying fratboy types wearing Guinness hats

It must be nice to be able to celebrate St.Patrick's Day! Damn North American version pisses me off!

(sorry, just a bit bitter...)

oh yeh, I forgot all about St. Paddy's...but for me it's tomorrows endeavour...

cheers to everyone, enjoy thine green beers!

and the north american version is not so bad, there's gotta be enough pubs where you are that you can find one to go to...good luck though...as I know the place I'd love to set my butt down in tomorrow will be busy busy busy...

I'm with you, Baz. Toronto St. Pat's is a bunch of sorry bastard fratboys who slag the Irish every other day of the year, but today they all want to be one. Pricks. I'm staying in with my thesis and a bottle of wine, since there's no way in hell to get into the James Joyce after noon.
Oh, yeah, share the bitterness...

Baz- how fast you forget. Right here on Church Street we'll have some wankers with those stupid hats on- no one escapes it. Perhaps you could cover "the hat" in temporary green felt. Then they'd all be sorry.
I've always liked St.Pat's. A celebration day which requires no prezzie buying and you have to wear green. I like it.
good luck to everyone.

So hard tho, when the waters tread are muck and mud. LIttle to redeem them for moral or intellectual stimuli.

Obviously the physical won't be diminished, as the tactile interaction will be high, what with squashed quarters and all. Wouldn't draw me of necessity.
