March 17, 200718 yr Happy St Patricks day Not sure what you all do to celebrate :unsure: :hic: I think they run around in kilts and get drunk :unsure: Happy St. Patricks day to those who celebrate it :cheer:

March 17, 200718 yr Kilts :unsure: but jups showed me a pic of the parade and they had kilts on, did jups lie to me :unsure: :o
March 17, 200718 yr :unsure: I dont know much about St Patricks day I'm afraid, perhaps they do like to wear Kilts Jups? :unsure:
March 17, 200718 yr Author Kilts and bagpipes are appropriate to both Scotland and Ireland. ^_^ History lesson- The 'Scots' were actually from Ireland. They were an Irish tribe who crossed over the Irish Sea (I think around the 4th/5th century) and set up home in Western Scotland. The Scots (from Ireland) eventually combined forces with the Picts (who were the indigenous people) to form the ancient Kingdom of Scotland. The Scots and the Irish are basically the same tribe. So both have kilts and bagpipes. Edited March 17, 200718 yr by jupiter9

March 17, 200718 yr Author :lol: I've heard loads of English people say they struggle to tell the difference between Scots and Irish accents. To me they are nothing alike but then I'm more used to them. :P
March 17, 200718 yr Happy St Patricks day Not sure what you all do to celebrate :unsure: :hic: Mainly Drink........ :yahoo: Happy St Patrick's Day from EIRE IRISH JOKE One night Paddy runs into a bar feeling as though he is going to explode. He runs up to the bartender and asks where the bathroom is. He says upstairs, first door on your right. So the man runs up the stairs and can't remember what the bartender said. He thinks if he goes to ask again he might not make it. So he looks around and sees a hole in the floor. Feeling daring, he pulls down his trousers and heaves out a dump. When he returns, everybody except the bartender is gone. He asks where everyone went. The bartender replies, "where were you when the $h!t hit the fan?" :yahoo: :yahoo:
