Happy St Patricks day

[ummmm]

What's people up to today??

[daniela31]

Hi ummmm.
I have a bit of Irish in me, my Grandfather was Irish. Daniel O'Gorman was his name( I was named after him actually).
He came from Antrim, and there was speculation as to his parentage, so a mystery in the family, and no-one is telling either, so it makes it all rather intriguing, dontcha think?

[ummmm]

Oh the shame...the shame :-)

Will toy be partaking in a drink or two today?

[daniela31]

I don't have any toys :-(

But I dare say I will be having a nip or two later. :-)

[Beatrice35]

Have no Irish ancestry yet love Irish people + all Celts in fact :-) Happy St Patrick's Day Daniela31 :-) Will raise a glass of Irish cider to you all later ;-) Have a good one!
Warmest wishes on a beautiful sunny Spring day, Bea :-)

[ummmm]

I wasn't long awake Daniela...lol

[carrust]

Nowt, as I'm an Englishman. And I wont be venturing into my city centre, as Guinness in their wisdom have erected a marquee selling cheap booze. It was a nightmare last year...fighting, spew laden streets etc.

[daniela31]

Happy Saint Patricks Day anyway ummmm :-)

And to everyone else who joins the thread.

May God grant you always...
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

May your troubles be less,
And your blessing be more.
And nothing but happiness,
Come through your door.


May you have the hindsight to know where you've been
the foresight to know where you're going
and the insight to know when you're going too far.


Hope you like the Irish Blessings posted above for you all to enjoy :-)

Bea ;-)

BlOOdy hell doc. 'Ave you been ont grumpy pills again?

[Bbbananas]

I am a lover of all things Irish (well, not all - but let's not mention the IRA et al...) but it does seem absolutely bonkers that we English celebrate St Patrick's Day (well, most of my friends do - any excuse for drinking guinness, singing irish dittites & dressing all in green) - and yet we do not & cannot celebrate St George's Day for fear of upsetting other ethnicities. Madness.

[ummmm]

That's not our fault doc.

[ummmm]

St Georges day is celebrated in Northampton with NO protests from ethnic minorities. We also see lot's of English flags flying all year round.
