Interestingly enough, it was originally, a Catholic Church sacred day but is now quite secular and observed throughout many places in the world, particularly in America. What I found most unusual, in the Irish population, was the amount of people with jet black hair and deep blue eyes. Most people with black hair have brown eyes. Ireland is a beautiful country, with lovely people - pity about the climate. |

An Irish friend of mine said that along with the black hair and blue eyes, those Irishmen often have a gormless expression (even though they may not be gormless at all, at all). She said it, not me! |

It does not seem to matter if you are orange or green, or even if you are not Irish at all, you are allowed to celebrate St Patrick's day and have a good time. The Irish have always been a race of people who enjoy a good time and are happy to invite as many people as possible to join the party. You are all allowed to be Irish for a day and you are all welcome to party along with us. Interesting note: Although most people know that St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, did you know that he is reputed to have banished all the snakes from Ireland? It is the only place in the UK where there are no snakes, so perhaps the story is true. |

| 1186793 | 2011-03-17 04:41:00 | haha I was just thinking the same thing. Who needs an excuse to drink, really? It's just another day to drink and not have a valid reason. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, go directly to the pub. You never need an excuse to drink, drinking is the cope mechanism of zillions of people including me. Drink to remember drink to forget drink to anything hic |
