MagnumForce Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Not really. There's a Shamrock bar in the area near the boxing on Loy Kroh but I doubt they'd have the faintest idea what you're talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotlost Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I did not know that the Irish needed a special day to have a piss up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimiller Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Nothing Im English and no respectable Englishman would celebrate anything to do with Ireland. Apart from beating them in the next 6 nations clash to finish the grand slam. Edited March 17, 2011 by thaimiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldeBellPedr Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 St. Patrick's Day will be celebrated at The Olde Bell, as every year! Northern Ireland is part of Britain and St. Patrick's Day is a national holiday there so why not party!! We've got the Guinness back just in time and tonight we've got Guinness and Irish Lamb or Beef stew on promotion. We've also got Magners Irish Cicer, Jameson's Irish Whiskey, Bailey's Irish cream and a Green Shamrock coktail! There'll be music from our extensive collection of Irish music and of course the 'Craic' which is free!!! We hope to see some of you later on!

Northern Ireland is part of Britain and St. Patrick's Day is a national holiday there so why not party!! No argument on the partying, but Northern Ireland is NOT part of Great Britain. It is of course part of the United Kingdom, which is an abbreviation of 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" All of this, and a lot more, is explained in this excellent and reasonably funny video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumForce Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Winnie is spot on. Northern Ireland is not part of Britain but is presently part of 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". And Pedr, are we to take it that only people from Northern Ireland with UK passports are welcome to your St. Patrick's Day event? Perhaps it would be better to go where everyone is welcome regardless of their politics or religion or nationality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talks too fast. Information overload around the 1:30 mark. But thanks for the useful link. I think. ETA - ooh, the Venn Diagram is useful.

OldeBellPedr Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Read his post again and see if you understand my question, FLAME REMOVED. See you on Sunday. If you really can't fathom out what I meant then MrClough's case seems to be proven! Winnie: I thank you sir! I take my hat off- to be corrected on the nuances of the realtionship between the narions and priovinces of the United Kigdon by an American is priceless. I suppose I meant that the majority of the people of Northern Ireland consider themselves to be British and I used the word in that context, but I am happy to take your correction! To clear up any lingering doubt St. Patricks Day is a celebration of Irish people and the island of Ireland and the rest of the world is invited to the party. When they say 'Caed Mile Falite' They really mean it. Croeso i bawb - everyone welcome as the Welsh say!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people eh? :jerk: hear hear and what a sad comment by "gotlost" ...... lets leave out the typical preconception about races or creeds until you have actually lived with them for a period of time that qualifies you to make a judgement...and even then...it is still impolite and discourteous, apart from being offensive, to label people with sly remarks that you might find funny and then place these comments in a public forum.

Oh dear........Another one who claims irish lineage......I do not need to rethink anything as I was born and bred in the island of Ireland and would never make fun of another race, creed, religion or mistaken gossipy ideas of culture just because others had made up their minds about the behaviour of a different society.
