i fucking hate st patrick's day, and here's why

yeah. that's right. i hate it.

KISS ME I'M IRISH. no buddy, being 1/256th irish because your great, great grandfather saw ireland from a boat while emigrating from england does not actually count.

all of these fucking people claiming irish heritage despite not knowing a damn thing about if they might be or not...ugh. i hate it.

can we just call it an excuse to drink and drop the crap, please?





same thing for people who say feck and aren't directly referencing father ted. it does not make you sound irish, it makes you sound like a dolt.

Its amazing how many people come out of the closet claiming to have Irish blood.

#89 Saint Patrick’s Day ? Stuff White People Like

I think I'm in the only Town in the world that doesn't celebrate St. Patricks day... I only just realised it was because of coming on here! What's the big deal with it?!

People here are celebrating but it's essentially an excuse to get hammered. I think I know two irish people here, and that's it

An excuse is needed?! Seriously

 

[MooMoo!]

I went out with my Ireland football shirt on today, and that was about the extent of any St Patricks day celebrations on the Isle of Man.

I do however, agree with the whole wannabe Irish thing. Stuff like "My great grandads uncles cousins wifes cat once pissed up Bonos tyres, THEREFORE IM IRISH!!!!12".

No dear. Just no.


Notice how you never get anyone claiming English heritage.

 

[pgv]

^

When I'm in Europe, I usually pretend not to be English! I do a mean Scottish accent.

 

[MooMoo!]

A teacher once told me you're better off if you claim to be Scottish, Welsh or Irish when you're abroad. Since the English don't have a great reputation.

Especially not in Holland where the English have a nice reputation as football hooligans.

You will never know how hated Football hooligans are in England... *sigh*

 

[coolian2]

Notice how you never get anyone claiming English heritage.

i have some of that, and some irish (yeah yeah), but i never claim those. i'm much happier claiming my 50% scottish heritage....and even happier being a new zealander.

 

[Galeongirl]

Thankfully not. Though I pity you guys.

 

[pgv]

I pity me It's not like we even have mountains and mountains of daffodils to shield us from the pain

 

[DaveC]

I'd like to think I've bled out all my English heritage.

Just kidding. You guys have some rudely good culture that makes up for that old colonial empire bad guy stuff.

 

[RedRocksU2]

[Screwtape2]

I'm taking two classes at the moment, Anthropology and Native American Studies, that are so similar that many times I forget which one's homework I'm actually working on.
