All that matters is whether its a bank/public holiday or not.

We Welsh aren't allowed to celebrate St David's Day proper as a public holiday, oh no, we're expected to find the will to work and celebrate at work *at the same time*. >.>

Damn you Tony Blair for blocking proposals to make it a proper holiday, you grinning little prick. >:C

Best holiday of the year - and falling on a weekend this year must mean something. What, I have no idea. I'll ponder that over a couple hundred pints.

I LOVE Guiness Draught, but not for the first one. Guiness is so dry I prefer a lager or something to get me started before I hit the dark side.

"The first one" is whiskey territory.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

A shot of crown royal is nice...

Jagerbomb is even better.

It's St Paddys day, order em both, and the beer as well.

...then shotgun the first two before the waitress has a chance to get the third on the table and order another round. Hand her the (empty) third glass as she's leaving the table.

That's doing it right. Cool Shades

I must admit that I know fuck all about St. Patrick, and care even less. It's a holiday with a tradition of drinking it up and having a good time.

I'm all for that, even if I'm not the least bit Irish.

Indeed. There is no shame in getting arrested for public drunkeness on St. Patrick's Day. Just don't drive. Smile
