On St Patrick's night – St Patrick – the man who saved our immortal souls from the depraved heathens who were worshipping blue bottles and rodents rectums at the time -I went out with the loved one and the Treaty City was like a ghostown… earlier that evening I was speaking to a gentleman in fucking Miami, and he informed that even the Cubans were going around decked out green and white and the town was a hopping and a lepping – they even dyed the cocaine green in homage he insisted. Elsewhere, the Mexicans had a parade in El Passo where they drank long into the night, shooting a few gringo sheriffs in celebration into the bargain. Homer and grandpa Simpson even flew into Hibernia for the day that was in it and got hideously drunk. But back on the mother ship, Paddy trudged home early, with a fretted brow, twisting in his sobriety, the shame of it all.

Freedom will only come to Ireland when the last pol is strangled by the entrails of the last priest.
And I hope it happens on St. Patrick's Day on the Hill of Tara.

You think the rest of the religious stuff wasn't bollocks?

i always thought the concept of the trinity came into effect about 600 years after patrick died. have i been wrong all along in thinking the shamrock tale was a load of old bollocks?

@Bock – pyromaniac

I meant the Tara conflagration which spread throughout the island.

Perhaps a bit fanciful but not without a modern parallel.

Abdul — The church wouldn't lie. You should know that.

Benny — Pyromaniac? Enlighten me.

its been a long time since I celebrated St Paddy's in Ireland, but when I was in college in UCG, it was the best party day of the year – and that's saying something for Galway. All the fun of race week or the Arts festival but without the tourists.

It gets better Bock. If you look up St Patrick on Wikipedia, and I know it's not totally reliable but I really hope this is true, you'll find the following entry :
Much of the Declaration concerns charges made against Patrick by his fellow Christians at a trial. What these charges were, he does not say explicitly, but he writes that he returned the gifts which wealthy women gave him, did not accept payment for baptisms, nor for ordaining priests, and indeed paid for many gifts to kings and judges, and paid for the sons of chiefs to accompany him. It is concluded, therefore, that he was accused of some sort of financial impropriety, and perhaps of having obtained his bishopric in Ireland with personal gain in mind.

You're correct. I'm not joking.

I'm at home watching Battlestar Galactica.
