plainlazy84 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Just wondering if anyone is doing much for St Patricks day on Saturday? Before anyone kicks off about "whats the point you're not Irish", its always a lively, fun atmosphere (where I live anyway), lots of people are out and its a good excuse to wear a ridiculous hat all day. You dont have to be Irish to go out and have a good day/ night. I'm hoping to get into town for opening time at 11, get my hat and enjoy a few pints throughout the afternoon. Need to make it home in a reasonable state to crack on with the dissertation tommorow though So anybody else going out for it on Sat ?

plainlazy84 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 If you are going out then make sure you get photographic evidence of you looking silly in your Guiness hat. Post the evidence up on here whenever you get back home and manage to regain consciousness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 What do I need to get a Guiness hat? I really want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainlazy84 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Most pubs should be running a promotion where you get given a token for each pint of Guiness you buy, and once you've bought 4 (or possibly 5 cant remember) you can exchange your tokens for a novelty Guinness hat. But be warned that popular pubs will soon run out of hats. Down in my local last year they had all gone by about 1pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoo Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Is this the only st.'s day that is actually celebrated,never known of anything special to be done on any other saints days.Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Only because it involves alcohol.I will try and get a hat, whether or not i or anyone else will be in a fit state to work a camera is a different matter.Plus it will probably get nicked off my head too.

plainlazy84 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 you've got to be on the ball when it comes to protecting your hat- especially if you are out all day. Its almost a military opperation ensuring that you make it back home with the hat that you've earnt and so rightly deserve Never under any circumstances let anyone try it on, even if they are an amazingly fit bird. You'll never see it again. Also keep an eye out for the sly ones that sneak up, try and grab it and run. Scum... sub human scum. Oh and if you are foolish enough to go into a club with it on then you deserve to lose it. This is serious stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Is this the only st.'s day that is actually celebrated,never known of anything special to be done on any other saints days.Interesting.Aye we will have a piss up for anything!This kinda came up the other week when a mate was back for his granda's funeral. He, like me, comes from a 'mixed background' (ie. one pareent protestand one catholic) the grandfather who had passed away was from the protestant side of the family.He was saying how when they went back to the house after the ceremony that everyone was just talking, eating sandwiches and drinking tea! Both of us couldn't understand this for a bit but after a chong we deduced that it's because the other one's we had been to previously had turned out to be from the catholic side of the family, so we'll even use a funeral as an excuse!
