Saint Patrick's Day. The day the Irish celebrate their Patron Saint. And the day the English jump on the bandwagon and get rip-roaringly drunk in the honour of Paddy!
How ironic is it that most people don't even know when Saint George's day is, and a some don't even know that he's the Patron Saint of England. Most people do nothing at all to mark the occasion, but people were out in their hundreds last night downing guiness to celebrate! Everyone was dressed in green and donning oversized top-hats in irish colours!
Don't get me wrong- I love any excuse for a celebrations had I not been religiously (pardon the pun!) sticking to my decision to give up alcohol for lent this yar, I would definitely have been mopre than a bit inebriated myself!
I just think that maybe this year we should give poor Georgoe a look in too? After all its another excuse to get hammered on a week night? I suggest everyone don red and white and grab a stuffed dragon (george slayed the dragon according to the legend...) and head out on the 23rd April in style!
