the money for a babysitter.

.Im getting up extra early this week so I can indulge myself in the afternoons.....
Im all up for party on Wednesday in the Voodoo bar...
shame I can't be up country would be fun...
hmmmm ...I don't wish to be
controversial, but ...why do we
make such a thing of St Patrick's
day, but are almost too embarrassed
to even acknowledge St
George's??????

I've seen pubs try, but obviously
without the same level of fanfare
received by St. Patricks day
events. I guess it's part
(beverage-related) marketing...

Yes, its just because really people
think of it as "Guinness" day. If
St George's day was a close memetic
cousin of say larger or cider then
I think more people would celebrate
it. Actually, really it's an insult
to the Irish, because when we think
of their national holiday we think
of getting rat-arsed. And the truth
of the matter is St. Patrick was
English, born in Cumbria, so not
sure what all the fuss is about on
that front!

Its just bit of fun and another excuse for us to saturate our already damaged livers in a bath of ethanol.

I nominate 'Old Speckled hen'
...for no better reason than I like
it (and so does 'Dave' apparently)

interesting image as old George's

Yes it's not bad. I don't rink much
real beer these days but I used to
like a pint of "flowers". I nominate 'Old Speckled hen' ...for no better reason than I like it (and so does 'Dave' apparently) ...well, it does conjure up an interesting image as old George's adversary!
