St. Patricks day

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

St. Patricks day

Post by flash gunner »

Happy St Patricks day to all our Irish Gooners. Hope you all have a nice day lounging around in your Celtic shirts until the pubs open and getting blind drunk by mid day :barscarf:

Whenever i think of Ireland i think of leprechauns, shamrock, Guinness. Horses running through council estates. Toothless simpletons. People with eyebrows on their cheeks. Badly tarmacked drives, in this country. Men in platform shoes being arrested for bombings. Lots of rocks, and Beamis :lol:

Have a good day lads

Happy St. Patricks Day to all concerned.
English T.V. have,and will be joining in the celebrations all day.
It will be a different story for St. Georges Day however.
They will avoid it like the plague,along with most of England,for fear of being labelled racist,especially in the post Brexit environment. :banghead:

I have a smidge of Shamrockshire in me on my mothers side and some of them had until the early 2000's property in dunleary n blackrock but I fail to see why my lack of Irish heritage that would prevent me from getting pissed except that they keep closing fecking irish pubs all over archway !

A special word for all the loud cuntish Americans , ok there was more than Americans, who fell around Dublin City centre at 6pm as I had to make my way home from work. The place was packed and disgusting. All wearing those fucking stupid Guinness hats or Leprechaun outfits.
We have enough problems with alcohol fueled anti social behaviour in Dublin without importing dickheads that cannot hold their drink at 6pm.

Hah, New Yorkers are shit too, spoke to one 20th generation Irish cop in a bar with a few colleagues and could only bring up the IRA as conversation back in September 2001, what that had to do with Bin Laden was beyond me! :lol:

I knew some good Cops in NYC most Irish Americans , but yea u get that shit, remember 1, st paddies my dad was over and we were in my regular haunt ,he wore his London Irish jumper and some fool had a pop at him ( It has the london flag X st George and a sword in it ) before the Owner Mr Eamon Doran himself threw the man out and got talking to me dad . Turns out my dad and him had a few people in common at London Irish ,and that was it. best friends and beers all round .Unfortunately Eamon died way too early in 98 ? And his bars have gone 1 by 1 as his sons coke habit grew ! They still had one in Temple Bar but I heard that went tits up too !
I miss Eamons smiling face , I miss his bars, as I miss New York !
