Respect has to be earned, not demanded.

However, St Paddys day is a bit of fun, no more, no less.

Typical Irish idea, celebrating a Welsh bloke who noticed there were no snakes in Ireland so pretended he drove them out.

Enjoy.

me? I will be in France, skiing, but a couple of years ago was in Boston. Not on purpose, just happened to be there, and joined in all the fun. Having lived in Dublin and been dragged into playing in bars during the festivities, I reckon the American Irish do it well. There is no sense of irony, just honest in your face fun.

As I just said.

Enjoy
