The world is gone to shit.

But happy St. Patrick's Day to all, both sitting it out at home, and here in the UK. I hope we will be able to celebrate properly soon.

Agus leat féin!
We had a parade in the house and sent it to the family group. The 2 aunties did a brilliant one from Galway!!
Making green ice cream cones now.

I thought so. Nothing like a bit of baby stabbing to skip to in the playground.

Been in work today but had a somewhat eventful train ride home with a lovely but very drunk girl from my county, we sang oro sé and called Leo many many terrible things, my favourite of which was Leo the langer Grin

Agus leat féin as Aontroim! A really quiet one here but quite nice to sit and have a few quiet drinks with family. Happy St. Patrick's day to everyone celebrating!

Agus leat féin OP.
@Stormbeach I roared laughing at that, spot on!
As for the song - Jesus that terrified me as a child. I distinctly remember when the words "clicked" with me, I was travelling on a long car journey age 7 (am 46 now) and an uncle was singing it. "Don't stick knives in baby's heads" - well there's a life lesson Hmm
As Leo addressed the nation, this is a St Patrick's Day like no other. I wish you all health and happiness 💚☘️

Happy St. Patrick's Day from West Yorkshire!

@LifeInAHamsterWheel, relaax! She stuck the penknife in the babby’s heart, not its head! That’s way better!

Pomegranatemolasses · 17/03/2020 23:12

Impressed with Leo tonight.

And one from Berkshire (ex Dublin)! All together now, 'Hail glorious St Patrick, dear saint of our isle...'

We always used to have a macabre fight in our house about whether the unfortunate baby got it in the heart or the head, with my dad channeling his best Ronnie Drew impersonation. In any other country someone would probably call Social Services...

And I think I only discovered in adulthood that some people sing ‘Two policemen and a man’, while we always sang ‘Two policeman and a Special Branch man’ (which I vaguely thought as a child was something to do with railways...)

Now my question is ‘Well, she can’t have been an ‘old woman’ if she had a three-month-old, can she?’

It’s been a loooong St Patrick’s Day. And tomorrow I get to combine working from home with home-schooling. Fellow-feeing to everyone else doing it.

Agus leat fein OP (and the rest 😊)

People have been holding mini drive by parades round these parts... everyone driving in a convoy....apparently we REALLY needed our parade
