Afro Droid Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 why do most scottish students make a bigger deal about St.Paddys day than St.Andrews day? Because the drinks promotions are better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something so incredibly forced and desperate about the whole thing. This is supposed to be a Saint's day, and has become nothing short of an outlet for 'wacky' (almost definitely non-Irish) people to consolidate the culturally redundant stereotype that Ireland is a land of pissheads and gormless pricks who love the 'craic'. I can't imagine anyone in Aberdeen, for example, could ever give you a valid reason as to why St. Patrick's Day should be celebrated - it is just a pretext to get drunk, which most people do too often anyway. Non-Irish people who get excited about it are completely ignorant dead-eyed morons who probably think that St. Patrick invented Guinness and that St. Andrew invented golf.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 You can always go to bar ici tonight and see Chris Doherty perform... Except as he is billed as Chris O'Doherty, since the management there didn't think that Doherty was an Irish enough surname. Genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF Scott Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 It was funny to see people queuing outside ONeills and ODonahues. I can imagine that the only difference going to these pubs yesterday would have beena)They would have been jam packed to the point of discomfortb)It would have been hard to get anywhere near the barc)Those oversized novelty hats would have been obscuring light and hitting into people.Fun!
