I'm not the most patriotic of Scots and refer to myself as British 1st and foremost but I still think that it's shocking that st paddys day is a bigger deal than St Andrews day and I'm pretty sure it's the same everywhere else int he UK.

where on earth did you get the idea that the irish hate the scots jim?


your nearly right tash.......st patrick brought christianity to ireland...the snakes were a symbol of paganism and it was the pagans who were driven out...he also used the shamrock to explain the trinity....he died on the 17th march....and celebrating st patricks day is not just about drinking.....its also about our culture......besides....we irish dont need an excuse to go and get drunk

Maybe I should have paid more attention to my mother then when she was telling me about her home country!! At least I partially listened, that should please her!
