Saint fucking paddies day. Sorry but I live in England not Shamrock land but can i celebrate my countrys partons saint day can i fuck if u wanna celebrate another country thats fine I'll be allowed into every pub in teh country wearing irsh stuff but try to wear a english flag on st. geogers day and the pub won't let you in I fucking hate it and i bet loads of you on here are going on saturday but come saint geafoges day you won't do fuck all! remmber your english not irsh. why are you celebraitng another country saint with such vigor why because your all sad fuckers who have no respect for your own conutry!

So if any one wants to join me I'll be in the dome bar at the weekend fully clad in english flags the lot did it last year and spent most of the day advoing fights with wannkers having a ago saying i was disrescptful when i pointed out the fact that as i was englsih i making a point they just called me a rassct!  

this is not a rant about the irsh nothing wrong with them.

ENGLAND!

I go out every St Georges and have done for years.Usually do a tour of Old Towns proper pubs.There were quite a few out last year (think it was a Sunday)

Whats the Dome bar?

why rant over what is people having a good time?fucking daft imo
the irish are ace!

I think the complaint is with English people celebrating St Patrick's Day. Which does annoy me as well, especially when those same people will not celebrate St George's Day. I think that was the gist of the rant.

Just for the record I do NOT celebrate St Patrick's Day.

Or St George's Day come to that :?

dome bar is a random bar in watford, i will join you this year yeovil

i know what he was on about.it just seems something daft to get worked up about imo.

yes my rant is with english poeple as nicely put my the chap above shaun taylor

my mrs is irish.am i allowed to celebrate st patricks day?

no fuck off

Jenna' s birthday is

23rd April

WILL YOU SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN FOR ST GEORGE'S DAY?

VOTE ON IT

Do you think that St Georges Day should become
a public holiday in England ?  

http://www.stgeorgesday.com/voting.asp

i dont anyway.just asking :wanker:

It will never happen. There are too many politicians, local government officials, liberal do gooders etc etc who find people celebrating their 'Englishness' to be totally abhorrant and offensive. They think people should apologize and be embarassed to be English. So for that reason, we aint getting no holiday any time soon for St George's day. Other nationalities can do it, it would seem but not us. :?

Other countries - US and Autralia get bank holidays for our Queen's birthday!  The Uk has the fewest public holidays in Europe I think.

keep on topic people this is a rant about people celebrating saint paddies day not about bank hoildays :old: !

I hope the plastic paddys choke on their overly priced guiness in their disney-ireland theme pub and suffocate under their cuntish novely hats.

Better?

You ought to see the fuss that Americans make over 'St Paddy's'. Now that would make you angry!

NMH

P.S. Might listen to The Pogues on Saturday to get into the spirit of things.

Don't get me started on the americans! well done land of bo much better keep it up!

St Patrick wasn't even Irish  :D

No but St George wasnt English either!


But I am all for celebrating St Georges day as it is OUR national day.

I don't mind people going out on St Pats as usually they're simply using it as an excuse to just get pissed, not actually caring about the occasion, but it does annoy me how more efort is made for this than St George's day. Me and a load of mates went out last year wearing England shirts, flags, etc and got turned away from one place saying we were "inappropriately dressed"...the same place that had been handing out paddys stuff a couple of months earlier with no complaints!

Absolutely. I do actually think St Patrick's is more about drinking Guinness and getting drunk but I think that's the appeal.

I think if the marketing people did the same for St George's the same would happen.

St Patrick's Day is a marketing exercise for Guinness, which is a bastard but Guinness is so nice.

I don't 'celebrate' either but I'd rather celebrate my Englishness than the fact I'm fucking British

It would indeed make me angry :nod:

Irish Americans seem to have a kind of Disneyized version of Ireland in their own minds with leprechauns sitting on every second shamrock or something. A bit like this one in fact:

http://img.tfd.com/dict/4D/67E48-leprechaun.gif

(Look at him, bless him he even has a little pot of gold :? ) and where the IRA are noble, selfless 'Freedom Fighters'.

A prime example of this kind of thing is the possible number one pick in this year's NFL Draft - Brady Quinn - I mean, FFS! Brady Quinn! is there anyone in the whole of Ireland who is called Brady Quinn? It's like they have to be more Irish than Irish. Of course, he attends Notre Damn University, home of the "Fightin' Irish". Just for good measure, he hails from Dublin, Ohio - Give me a break :roll:

I wrote to JD Weatherspoons a few years ago arfter being turned away one saint geogres day have a saint geaogre flag etc.

I got a letter back from Mr Irman Khan, Customer Services Manager. He stated that as the flag of saint george may cause offivnse to ethinc minoties the bar staff were correct in refusing me entry. I responded pointing out to him that as these people were in England they should respect the English culture etc.

Any way a few months went by and nothing happened and I forgot about it. I then got a letter from the Commission for Racial Equality suggestiong that my letter was bording on racist and I should show more consideration to minortires feelings. I didn't write back as i didn't wanna get into a row with the cre who god knows what might have happened!

:D

The other week a woman my gf works with was going on about Mothers Day, she then says that it's the day after St. Patricks Day.

I replied with "Well i wouldn't know that being English and all!"

What annoys me is English people who go out for St.Patricks Day but not St.Georges Day.

I have alot of irish family living in Ireland but agree with you.
You know in they hardly do anything, it's just another day in the pub! none of this shamrock shite where i come from!

It's all a marketing ploy as far as i'm concerned - although they are trying to grasp it with St Georges day to. I seem to remember the pub i worked at last year got sent a load of promo stuff but none of it was ever put out unlike the Guinness stuff. I think patriotism is making a big come back here and im glad to see it, fingers crossed we'll see flags flying on St Georges day in the near future!

Plus i have no idea why English people would celebrate it when alot of the Irish i know dislike us so much from history etc

Does this mean lawro can get ratted all day on st georges day?

You think i have a choice if you lure him with your cooking and amazing body?

In my village the local pub does St Patricks day, just like every other pub, cos they get shit loads of freebies from the breweries.

They also do St Georges day, Cross of St George bunting, flags. the works.

Mind you, we don't have to worry about upsetting ethnic minorities in sunny Somerset, as the haven't found their way here yet (Mostly)

Apart from Mr and Mrs Tang, who run the takeaway  :D

I'm English but am part Irish too and respect my Irish heritage. Not bothered about St Patrick's Day but I have close Irish family that live over here and will be going out with them, because they'll get me pissed for free.

I shall also celebrate St Georges day so who really gives a fuck? People can do what they want ffs.

Every year we have this debate on this forum, why should I feel bad for being proud of where I was born and where my family come from?

Cunts.

No reason whatsover. The original rant was aimed at English people with absolutely no connection with Ireland who celebrate St Patrick's Day but not St George's Day. You clearly do not fall into that category. So carry on celebrating and please please please don't feel bad :wink:  :guinness:

If you read the post stupid you will see that no-ones has a problem with IRISH people celebrating as it's there day. What gets people backs up is that english people celebrate it with such vigor and that pubs etc do so much for saint paddies day and so little for st geogres day. nothing agaisnt the irsh has been said christ your thick!

if only all the english peole celebrating on saturday did the same for saint geaogres day it would be oaky and that is where the problems lies

next time you call people cunts i suggest you read all the post. otherwise you end up looking a cunt yourself

cunts!

Good point well made :nod:

LOCK !

I'm going to drink lots of Guinness and pretend I'm Irish on Saturday. My Irish roots will seem all the more authentic by wearing an oversized green hat. It's going to be ace.

I have a few drinks on St Patricks day, love the black stuff, have a few Irish friends, have no problem getting merry, any excuse for a drink or two.

Likewise on St Andrew's day, a couple of whiskey's slip down the throat on that evening, to celebrate my Scottish blood.

St George's and St Daffyd's day I do nothing.

what does lock mean?

I dont need any excuses to get pissed

 :mrgreen:

http://www.adamdorman.com/_images/3d_padlock.jpg

I agree with that i got pissed last night completely by accident i finshed off a six pack while watching telly all evening when it cam to bed time i was pissed happy dyas

in context. fool

I don't need to, everyone knows that you are by far the biggest cunt.

yeah i'm a cunt and?

What he said!

And the only reason i'll be avoiding the streets is i dont want to bump into my Irish father as it will be messy as im sure you well know  :D
Plus my boyfriend say's i embarrass him when drunk, so have a few for me lady!

My Spag Bol rocks!!!  

oh and birdy can gazza fat mate come to the 125th dinner?

He can as long as I can punch him  :wink:

Seriously though, there are no spaces left on out table so he'd have to e mail Ben Lambert.

NO

I'm coming to the 125th thing... well, i'm crashing it after the meal bit...

 8)

Bit harsh fred, hes a nice guy just says stuff on here to get a reaction

Well he certainly successful at that Ash.

Maybe I was harsh and I apologise, maybe I gone a bit happy clappy, just dont take kindly to my mates being trashed so to speak

trashed?!

Im lost

That was aimed at Birdy and she is a mate

I will defend my mates to the hilt.

I asked for this thread to be locked because I know the type of reactions that comes from these sort of issues.

Like I said Jen was born on St Georges day and I am as patriotic as it comes, but there is no need to fucking fall out over it !

Im not falling out over it, think birdy and gazza like to aim insults at each other, theyve done it loads in the past.  And Birdy for one gives as much as she gets.

End of

Which one will you be celebrating?

That's why I don't bother, too many of these patron saint thingies these days  :D



"Patriotism, I can't stand it, it makes me fucking sick. It's a round world last time I checked"
Some more wise words from the legend that is Bill Hicks

Fair play mate

Blackcurrant you will not be gatecrashing if we've paid £75 you can kiss my arse, i'll get fred and gazza's fat mate to shit on your face.

I love you fred, you are ace  :king:

Love you and Paul too mate

You are great mates and I wont stand by and have you dissed

Don't get me involved in some stupid potato famine row.

Leave your spuds out of this

your all cunts, me and gazza stand side by side   :D

hand in hand  :wink:

If Gazza's fat mate did want to go to this, couldn't he get a place on the table that does single bookings? It goes on for eight hours, so hardly going to be tied to our seats all night..

And there's a raffle  8)

I "celebrate" both, in fact I'll celebrate anything if it involves a good drink.

I tried to get the club to do some stuff for St Georges day last year but they babbled on about the costs etc hinting that I should find a way of covering it.  In the end we did the St Georges Cross in the Nationwide.

Personally I'd like to see St Georges Day given full Bank Holiday status if only to give us an excuse for a day off and have some fun.  Likewise I enjoy St Paddys day, but not because I think I'm Irish, more because I can.

*SENSIBLE POST ALERT*

I'm going to go and buy some wine to celebrate Charles II Royal Declaration of Indulgence, which happened on March 15th 1672.
