    Of course, in those 3 cases, it's not so much the Irish celebrating, it's a mixture of someone who has a great-great-great-grandfather whose half-brother's uncle was Irish, thus making him/her full-Irish and then the general populace getting pissed, encouraged by the local bars who see another cash jackpot.
    They could make it a geek celebration here, and have happy Patrick Stewart day instead ????

    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        I'd prefer a National Father Ted day instead.

              Not so much a Saints Day as a Guinness marketing event. Cheers!
