But my town is having some parade some I'm gonna try and tackle as many drunck bitchees as possible lol

A car bomb is a pint of guinness and you get a shot of baileys then you take the shot drop it in your guiness then pound the pint. Its so good dude I love them they mess you thats for sure.

I love the Paddys Day Piss Up me mam an dads familys are Irish an we've got a house out in Co. Mayo. Anyway if you're having a pint tommorrow an you don't like Guiness try a pint with a single Tia Maria in it it's fecking lovely. Sounds a bit puffy, I dont drink it but our lass does cos she can't stand the taste of Guiness on its own. :drinker:

Any Stout will do......some of my friends use Murphey's


LOVE Jamison's! That is some of the best whiskey out there....Maker's Mark and other American brand aside of course

Best Irish whiskey I've had is Black Bush made by Bushmills. :drunks:

It's time to start "training" for the big day :alcoholic::drinker:

I wonder how many people world wide will suddenly have Irish relatives on St. Paddy's day? ;)

I just gets me that in England we seem to be encouraged to celebrate another country's patron saint... but they'll do NOTHING for Saint George's day?

never heard of st george..

st josephs day is a holiday also, but not as big as st patty's.. or maybe st josephs is only big in my area due to the italian population, i don't know.

There are a lot of Irish pubs around the city I live in, and quite a lot of english/irish people living here also, so the beer is really flowing all weekend pretty much.. All the Irish pubs have good entertainment, free beer and it's a great atmosphere.. Hell i'm almost starting to get to know some of the Irish songs just from going out drinking on St Pat's day... ....

I even found the links to the pubs I go to :

splash page
Pugg Mahones - Melbourne.

I put the baileys and beer together first and then drop a shot of Jameson in the big mug and then booze.

I want to go out. But I will probably stay at home listening to the business and drinking natty light. :( Isolationism is prudent policy sometimes.

Patty's day? Patty's day?!!!!
It's Paddy's day man ha ha ha LoL ha ha ha LMAO ha ha

Do you have a really thick Irish accent??

My neighbour across the road is an old guy from who came here from Ireland, 40 years ago! and his accent is still as if he got here yesterday... Irish accents seem to stick around for a long time.. Which is good if your a patriot Irishman living in another country..

I'd say that I've got a pretty thick Irish accent yeah:)
Where I come from the local accent is nice and soft though so I would be an easy guy to understand in comparison to guys from Kerry and Donegal. Have you ever heard John Duddy speak, well he has a nOrthern accent, (the complete opposite of mine) but his is relatively mild!

I havn't heard John Duddy speak no.. I've heard a couple of really strong Irish accents, and if they talk fast, you can very easily miss a whole sentence trying to figure out what the first word they said was...
I'm trying to think of the boxer that moved to Las Vegas and fought Morales and Larios... His name has totally escaped my mind right at this second, but he's from Dublin and sometimes he was a little hard to understand... (i'm going to be trying to remember his name all night now)

In the movie Snatch where they have the "Pikey's" with Brad Pitt, I always wondered if anyone over their has accents that are that strong... It's almost like a different language..

Ladidadida.. :cool:

I had to post one more meaningless post as it's 11:37 and i'm about to go to bed, and I just saw that I was on 899 posts and it seemed a little untidy to leave it that way overnight... ;D

You thinking of Wayne McCullough no doubt! Again a Northern Accent! he was from the war torn Belfast but relocated to Dublin and later Las Vegas where he now lives trains and writes for the Ring magazine!

Brad Pitt's accent in Snatch was a very good representation of what Irish Gypsy's sound like! Seriously I know a few guys that are worse!

Have you all ever seen the Irish movie, The General? The accent is really thick in that movie. Great movie.

Natty Light? Jesus Christ....you actually spend money on that?

Life is too short to drink bad beer!

Yeah I don't mind Natural Light. i grew up on it. In the summer I drink alot of Natty, esp. when I play beer drinking games as it is cheap and doesn't bloat you as bad. But Budwieser Bottle is what I drink when I am at teh bar, as they dont have natty or stag on tap. :(

Thats the Dublin accent and again, it's not actually the worst Dublin accent I've heard....
Ah the General, we're learning more about his Criminal "brilliance" every day here. He was a baaaaaaadddd man. One of the Irish Untouchables.
