    My mother-in-law is Irish so hope she has a nice day.

    Just wondering, but do Irish people wish good luck to the English in Dublin on St Georges Day?

    Can't see why they wouldn't. They'd be a lot friendlier that the Scottish if you did it in Glasgow!

    I can't drink Guiness,it has fish enzymes in it! Have a good 'un though!

    Myth. The Veggie society say there aren't. Might have a quick half at lunchtime (to celebrate being 1/16th Irish apparently !).;-)

    Happy St.Patrick's Day y'all !

    So you're only 15/16 mog?
    If you're still sober enough to read this, nope:
    Also 1/8th Portuguese.
    (nope, I not sure either !)

    Not really but St.George's Day is nowhere near as popular or are as celebrated as paddy's day.

    Not sure why anyone thinks you have to be Irish to celebrate. St Patrick wasn't Irish, he was British. He was abducted at 16 and taken to Ireland to work as a slave-shephard.

    If ever there was a reason not to celebrate it's the whole notion of sainthood - you'd have to spend a long time looking to find a more ridiculous notion.

    I don't care though. I'm more than happy enough to fall prey to the Guinness family's marketing tactics.

    And St George never came to or had anything to do with England - he was a Greek born in Palestine:

    To be honest, I don't think I believe either story.

    If St Patrick's Day wasn't associated with getting as drunk as humanly possible I imagine it'd be even less celebrated by the non-Irish than St David's Day.

    I've worn green socks to work by coincidence and all the Irish folk in the office are complimenting me for it. I'm just rolling with it if I'm honest.
