Why do we all make such a fuss out of St.Patricks day....

Gustov · 16 Mar 2009 at 20:31

When no one does anything for st.Georges day :mad:

Let's see, am I living in England ? Cause it sure doesn't feel like it.

I highly doubt the Irish give such attention to our day :rolleyes:

Personally I'd rather see the efforts go in to St.Georges day seeing as 99% of the Irish dislike the English, at least from my experience.

Opinions?

The Americans make as big a fuss as the Irish

Gustov · 16 Mar 2009 at 20:33

but why?

Another excuse to consume alcohol and snarf on some corned-beef and cabbage.

because Guinness get behind it. If brewerys got behind St Georges day and spent the millions ion advertising it would be great.

Yet people prefer to get drunk on St.Patrick's day than St.George's day?

This isn't the first time you spouted nonsense on these forums. How about, instead of moaning about how people celebrate St Patrick's Day you put some effort into celebrating St George's Day? May I ask what age you are?

Because St Patrick is the patron saint of Guiness.

19, and as i said I'm talking from MY experience.

I have 3 Irish friends

All 3 were born in England yet class themselves as irish.
All support Irish football/rugby teams.
All hold an Irish passport
All dislike the English
All live here.

As i say, my experience.

It's not nonsensical, it's called opinion.

That's meaningless.

Even the English hate the English.

Northern Monkeys/Southern Fairies etc.

No, English people moan on forums about other nationalities having a good time

Gustov · 16 Mar 2009 at 20:47

So wrong.

My argument is why don't we celebrate a day that has reference to us BRITS in contrast to a day celebrated by a country who decided to become Independent from Britain.
