Re: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

they you may know that the Irish politico's in charge of Boston at the time trolled the history books to find a holiday so they could get St.Pats day off and very suitably found that one

2 in one.. st pats day off and a lil kick at the Brits too.

( p.s.. I "was" from metrowest.. about 20 miles west of Boston. )

Re: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all inhabitants of Éire (and CH )!
It reminds me about olden days in 1994 when I had had opportunity to spend 1 month at Temple Bar disctrict close to Half Penny Bridge and Liffey River in centre of Dublin. Guiness had poured and streets were full of Guinness sipping green dressed friendly blokes. Those were the days...
Cheers!



P.S. I wish I could hit an Irish Pub tonight, but I came down with a flu and only can have warm gluck wine prescribed tonight .
