Not heard of any organised St. Patricks Day celebrations, but I'm sure there'll be evidence of them during the day.
Which toilet will you be buried in PaulB ? I'll come and dig you out.

lol!! Roger not that kinda bog, the other kind..lol!. The one with purple heather growing at its surface, where wild flowers and grasses flourish in abundance, while eagles soar majestically overhead on the light breeze to the backdrop of the blue blue mountains...but ermmm
dont go digging them up as you never know what unpalatable non-gem you will find decomposing beneath the surface. They say there may be more than one or two buried out there....but...we couldnt possibly comment! lol!
No not much mention of St Patricks Day in these parts. There used to be much more reference to it in London but very quiet around here. Dont know any other Oirish peeps around here apart from feisty female forumites Bern and ColetteB.
Theres that young Simon Finlay fella too, who edits something or other in these parts ...now what is it.. Im having a headscratchin moment here trying to remember. If yer out there looking in Simon, and all you newspaper guys do it...send us a St Patricks Day greeting on the frontpage where non members can contribute. Top o' the mornin' .

- 17 March 2010 09:2943550A happy saints day to our colonial friends across the water, and the migrants in this, our fair land of England!

- 21 March 2010 12:0744014Took at the party last night, not mine I`m afraid, though I do drink it. Better late than never. Good health.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered. - 21 March 2010 13:3444018Makes me thirsty just to look at it Colin!!
- 21 March 2010 14:4644036Bern, what an interesting statement you`ve just made above. If that makes you thirsty, these false shop front`s mentioned on here, with the right picture`s on their windows, should make people want to go and find a real one and spend!!Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

- 21 March 2010 18:2644061Ah yes indeed Keef..when I first came here and new nobody at all, not a soul, not a sausage, I started buying the local paper to actually try and get to know where I was and something about what was going on...a name that continually popped up in those pages in those days was Cllr Margaret Sansum. After I was here a while I eventually had an exchange of letters with her, I think she was asking for correspondence on local issues, and I think I wrote to her something about the seafront fountains and probably a few other things, and she was very good. I rememebr that I was amazed she took the trouble. That was just prior to widespread email.
I didnt know she had this wild offspring with left footed leanings called Keith, who was a radical council high flyer..... otherwise I may have hid behind the sofa lol
Old Oirish song
