For St Patrick's Day

For the benefit of anyone who meets me on St. Patrick's day I would like to post this message on the World-Wide Web.
I am not Irish and I am not wearing this kilt for St. Patrick's day - I wear it all year round. It may be green but closer inspection will reveal that it is camouflage. I may wear it with a blue top - firstly because I have no sense of colour matching and secondly to confuse assumptions that I am wearing it for that occasion.
Right, since everyone on Earth has now read this, I hope I can get some peace this weekend.

To celebrate Mr Patrick's day, I'm going downtown, drink a pint (or two!) of Murphy's, go home, put on a green (pleated) skirt & green sweatshirt & read "A Regional History of Railways - Ireland".. I'm not Irish, either, but my old friend & colleague, Mr Patrick, is!

I'm going out tonight - and avoiding those gross "Irish" "theme" bars like the plague!! Hope Ireland can play well against Pakistan today though!

I'll be off down Manchester tonight, more studenty and trendy pubs, and no doubt I'll find a skirt to wear. Forecasting snow for these parts later!!

Sounds like a very interesting book.

As for patty's day, I'm actually not working for once, so I might just go out and celebrate. Any excuse to get drunk!
