Am going to face the horrors of 'Nam
Cheltenham

When did this become a ‘thing’. My Facebook is full of well-wishers for this occasion, and the greeting is repeated here on the football forum.
Can anyone provide a bit of history/ background on this and why shamrocks/ leprechauns and green top hats are emblazoned everywhere?

It's superb work from the Guinness marketing department.

Tennents need to get their finger out for Andrew then….

 

[Rodneyfernsfeet]

Alcohol free Guinness, ? FFS

 

[LGFOX]

Been a marketing con for years. It’s much bigger in England than St George’s day. Ridiculous

 

[What?]

Gerry is a founder member of the PUP

 

[FlemingtonFox]

It’s also absolutely huge in the US. There is a parade in NYC and everyone is an honorary Irishman tonight!

 

[channys6thswan]

It’s huge in Ireland, too. When I lived in Dublin, everyone went out on the lash every night.

The whole story began in Slane the village I live in
When Patrick came to Ireland the bucker first stop was the Hill of Slane in 432 AD

Precisely
Since he had his stroke the Bear has been confined to 3 pints of Guinness on a Sunday night and 3 of Guinness zero
His reaction to the latter is not printable

 

[What?]

He fed all of the taters to the snakes

No the snakes aka the English made the spuds rot during the 800 years of occupation
Now I'm off down the pub

Topical quiz: Guess what the ‘P’ stands for in KP. My lovely Mum was from Kilkenny.

Happy St. Padraig’s Day one and all. May your God go with you

 

[What?]

Pissed?

Went to the parade in 2018, it’s a marvellous thing to see, Guinness went up by a few dollars on the day as well…

I always finished the night off with ‘May your God go with you’ when I DJd, making a comeback in May for my Captains drive in at Newquay golf club….

Like I said to my pal Pat " it's all irish to me"

I see that a pint of the black stuff at Cheltenham is £7:50 .
A special Guinness ( half of Guinness and half English sparkling wine ) is £20 a pint !!!

Hate the faux yank paddy thing

They’ve all supposedly got a link to the Emerald Isle but seem to know faack all about the place but think it’s some mystical island even though reality is most of the locals are thick as shit and unable to string a coherent sentence together .

Only after 20 pints
I'm only halfway there

 

[TopFox]

The whole fucking thing is a big bunch of cunting bollocks. IMHO. And to anyone else with a shred of common sense.

 

[Club_B00k_Crutchless]

Blimey, what a bunch of miserable bastards. Let people enjoy themselves how they want. Just because St George's day is a damp squib and we can't really be arsed to celebrate it.

They use to put Champagne in Guinness, then plebs like me, who couldn’t afford Champagne, put cider in it.
Called Black Velvet.
I suppose this newer version is a bit cheaper than the original, but, still wouldn’t pay £20 for it.
