They have Patrick's day celebrations in every big city - New York, Birmingham, even some places in Ireland. Its cos there are lots of irish people and desendants of irish people in these places.

St patrick was a fun guy. Snakes, green beer...he was quite a lad. St George was Turkish and be can be seen in photographs of the time making a kebab from an endangered newt species.

I'm intrigued by the bash at the Dorchester - what will 20 grand buy you......... a latte and and bacon butty for three mates?
