I'm afraid I'll be too busy to enjoy an evening in the pub, yet I won't forget to upload some Irish folk songs onto my mp3 player and include a green clothing/jewellery item :)

An early start on the 18th, so maybe not. Also the pubs that'll be celebrating it best are all going to be jammed with people, and nobody I spend time with seems to be much bothered, not in previous years anyway.

Maybe a glass of whiskey. Wouldn't know what to cook if somebody came to dinner... With Burns Night it's obvious, but St Patrick's Day, not so clear.

eh... every since NYC banned drinking in the streets during the parade, it's just not the same anymore. The joys of being intoxicated in the streets of NYC while trying not to fall and land in a puddle of greenish vomit, get stepped on or puked on by incoming waves of thousands of college students, seasonal drunks, underage high school students, hiding their beers and whiskey in backpacks and all out alcoholics who made this day their personal holiday. Well... it's been taken away... now it's just another Macy's day parade, with good 'ol wholesome family fun filled with plastic green hats, god damned shamrocks, bag pipes and phrases such as "today everyone is Irish" echoing down 5th ave... urgh... what a shame.

A quiet celebration for me this year (early start on 18th, much like Jon, plus there's no real Paddy's day tradition in Italy), but a couple pints of Guinness are a must.

Temat: St. Patrick's Day

I've never celebrated St. Patricks' Day outside Ireland (i.e. not for the last twelve years). It seemed quite forced -not to mention downright absurd- to have a group of English and Americans invite Poles to try to encourage me to go to the Irish pub (which becomes a health and safety hazard on March 17th, without even standing room) to get drunk, because "I have to - I'm Irish!" Do any Poles celebrate Polish Independence Day outside Poland by drinking all evening in the pub? What's the story with English people celebrating St. George's Day? I must say I do feel a little miffed at my nationality being used as a marketing push by pubs and multinational corporations, as well as an excuse by someone who makes fun of Irish people for being alcoholics for drinking a lot because "Hey, we're all Irish on Paddy's Day!"

On saying that, I might have a pint of Guinness at home.
If my Anglosphere brethren are interested, we can synchronise a pint of Guinness for, say 10pm CET, and leave it at that.
What say ye?

Keith's right about the English & Americans & Poles dragging somebody to drink Guinness because they're Irish being a bit odd. Certainly without any malice intended though. I do think that St Patrick's Day's a great way of reminding people that a country of 3 or 4 million people has had such an impact round the world and that raising a glass in her name isn't a bad thing at all. And a synchronised glass of Guinness at 10 o'clock is a good idea!

Bushmills and Black Bush are both great. I tend to keep quiet about how nice Jamesons is with Soda and Ice. A purist wouldn't add anything, but it's really rather good. And homemade Baileys (the easier recipes are the best) is better than the bought stuff!Jon M. edytował(a) ten post dnia 13.03.08 o godzinie 18:48
