MuespachRam Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 So proud he live's in Swissyland an married a yank Love you Swiss xxx[/quote I love it when people make complete fools of themselves. You are totally wrong, but i would expect nothing better as you dont know me at all. I live in France not switzerland and married an American not a yank and i did both of those things for love nothing to do with my feelings towards being English.

Dangerous Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 St Georges day should be a national holiday,I go into town drinking to celebrate it every year.Paddys day is more popular due to the myth that the irish know how to have a great time,moreso than anybody else.Also anybody who had drank a pint of crap (or guinness as its more commonly called ) thinks they are irish. Why any Englishman wants to celebrate paddus day is beyond me,the irish hate us. The only thing irish related thing that I would celebrate would be the death of Gerry Adams and martin mcguinness.

MuespachRam Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 The standard answer to when anyone has been made to look a fool... And nope, I don't, but I do France more than I do Ireland....and I love my wife more than all of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi1Kenobi0 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Lets face it St Patrick's day is just a vehicle to sell copious amounts of the black stuff anywhere that sells it, its a clever marketing operation nothing more, show me the massed ranks of the Irish celebrating in the streets or any where else that doesn't sell the black stuff and I'll eat a leprechaun. My sentiments exactly. When I was a student St paddy's day was celebrated because there were drink offers in the union and another excuse to get drunk (see clever marketing above). Personally couldn't give a toss about a St George's day unless they want to give me an extra bank holiday off work. The reason I say this is I don't need a national day to show/ tell me I should be proud of being English. More important is how you act and treat others.

WorksopRam Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 why celebrate paddys day if your english? where is your pride and passion for the country that you live in? Hang on, when did I say I'd be celebrating it? I'd just love to be in the city for the atmosphere. I'd love to go to a Celtic/Rangers game, but I don't support either.

Of course it is allright with me...so long as you promise not to wear a plastic hat, or one of those stupid guiness shaped ones.... Despite all I have said, I actually met Mrs Muespach in an Irish bar on St Patricks day...so it can't be all that bad can it..? (we were both in there wondering why it was so busy for a Tuesday in the middle of March) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Am I the only person who hates the fact St Paddy gets more recognition than St George over here? No you're not. I think it's pretty ridiculous too. I'm happy for people to enjoy it but not if they're ignoring St. George's day. I don't get why so many people who are a sixteenth Irish suddenly become 100% Irish on this day. By the same logic we should start celebrating Thanksgiving and Independence Day, foreign holidays that have nothing to do with England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndsey Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 the hub is out with his brothers but only for his mum who's birthday it should of been today and that she would always have a few being from Belfast. i will meet them to raise my glass in her memory.
