I'm in Glasgow today and noticed a few more union flags than usual which I thought might just be coincidence but then I saw some stoater walking down the street playing marching band music aloud on his phone. He was on his tod as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Loads of examples in Edinburgh of people appropriating a culture and looking fucking shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane of Cawdor Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The great Irish writer (and drunk) Flann O'Brien created a phrase that perfectly describes the modern St Patrick's Day: "A virulent eruption of Paddyism." At least the plain people of Ireland get a Bank Holiday to recover, what do the other celebrants do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 4 hours ago, The Golden God said: The amount of people I’ve seen today with Union Jacks and England flags in their name absolutely furious at people celebrating St Patrick’s Day is incredible. Like someone said above, non religious people celebrate Christmas and Easter, it’s an excuse to get drunk, can’t turn that down. Here in the Yooessuvvay, many of the same people who have no problem dressing in Kelly Green, exaggerating their tenuous ancestral links to the Emerald Isle and drinking shitey beer dyed green every year, also get livid at the very idea of anyone celebrating Cinco de Mayo (Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862). "That's not our culture!" It takes a special breed of miseryguts to get angry at people enjoying themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think non-religious people celebrating Easter and Christmas are weirdos, too. And who needs "an excuse" to get drunk? Nobody's ever asked me to explain my reasoning for getting rat-arsed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both events are just part of our culture and are essentially family events. Christmas is more about Slade than about Jesus. Although, I can't mind the last time I did anything for Easter other than go to the fitba or go away a weekend with the missus. Strongly agree with the second part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather being unseasonably pleasant yesterday means it’ll likely have been an even bigger shitshow than usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 My half Irish 18 month old daughter puked over her St Patrick's Day sleepsuit last night and clarted her "I love Ireland" top today in food before 9am. Meanwhile she has never done either to her Scotland stuff. I am more silently proud of her than I should be. Petty stuff I know but a small moral victory for me over my Irish wife and in laws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
