St Patrick's Day

Today is St Patrick's Day.
Milwaukee goes nuts on St Patrick's Day.
Why? I have no idea.
It seems that everyone is Irish on St Patrick's Day in Milwaukee.
All the bars will be full tonight. Everyone will get very drunk.
I am sure they make way more fuss than anyone in Ireland does.
Some of the houses are decorated and the T.V is full of it.
Irish music, Irish dancing and Irish cooking.
The news just keeps banging on about it. The buses will be free starting from 6pm this evening in an effort to stop people from drink driving.
The police have been on to warn everyone that they will be out in force stopping dodgy drivers.
They don't do anything like this for St George's Day.
They don't even mention it.

Anyway..........as everyone keeps saying over here.............

"HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY"

A phrase that Jim Royle might use keeps coming to mind.........

"St. Patrick's Day my @#$%"

The Celts wind me up. They are always banging on about how wonderful Ireland/Scotland/Wales is. If it's that wonderful why are they all so far from home?
