As an irishman I will gives yis all a wee irish blessing on this fine day.
"The curse a jaysus light down upon yis and that yis may never shite thicker than port wine"
Oh yeah and up the raa!
Im sure I've got port wine somewhere
Might be all I've left shortly
I've been celebrating paddy's day for years in the same way.
Work over at 8pm, in the company of me, myself and i. Yes thats 3 of my 4 split personalities in the same moment and in similar rich vein of form.
The other one 'daddy' only works weekends.
I allow myself a handful of nights on the bevvy per month, but despite my love of safe and admittedly mind altering substances, moderation is the key to enjoyment and i only allow myself to partake in gods green natural remedy to mundanity once a month for sanities sake.
Tonight i saw the Irish 'geezer' in the Whitehouse and he reminded me its St Patricks Day.
My primary school was St Patricks. Forgetting the abusive nun that ran said school, id like to think me and paddy had a 7 year relationship so i felt obliged to have a wee celebration on his birthday/crucifiction/martyrdom day (delete as appropriate) cos im not sure anymore
So heres to paddy, what better day to partake in erins green valley. With a bag of gods finest herbs and a few jamesons, I toast our friends across the sea, we have much in common....
Our love of Celtic and Irish culture
Our love of humour and self depreciation
Our support for the Ra and a mutual erm dislike for the British state/govt
Our love for Father Ted and dislike for Mrs Brown's boys
A mutual tolerance for shite weather
A mutual understanding that wanking cow tits daily darent be used in banter..ever
A love of alcohol and cooking random bits of animals with veg and calling them stews
Understanding bonfires are not meant to be built near housing schemes
Loving Lenny and Roy Keane cos theyre honest rather than cunts
Oh and a love for the greatest music god invented.. be it folk or rebel
Oh and being the only cunts that would dream of labelling a trip to Scotland/Ireland as a holiday with a flight time of 20 mins
In fact im struggling to think of things i dislike about Ireland and I can only come up with
People from norn iron
Potato cakes
Louis walsh/westlife/boyzone
Getting fucked 12 years in a row at rugby
Here's to me, you, me that could be you and you that could be me
Up the ra, paddy reilly and fuck the huns
