St Patricks Day 2010

Same reason why I probably wouldn't go to town if I could mate. Apparently there's already been a bit of a 'riot' down Hanover St way, ironically enough, where O'Neils is.  

Think I'll get a few tins in though and listen to some old irish music. Love a bit of old folky irish stuff! Any recommendations anyone?

EDIT: By the way, I should get a few tins in! I dropped all my old EX work stuff etc back to my EX work offices today. And said goodbye to my old manager (who is sound as a pound by the way). So that is something to celebrate indeed!!!

The pogues are good Kenny I know they're a bit mad but some of the raw Irish stuff is class especially when they have guest artists on the go.
Do you start the new job next week mate?

I'm Irish

However... I'm quite embarrassed to be at the same time. The 14-16 year olds falling around the streets is absolutely disgusting to say the least. I've stopped going to Dublin over this, and being in Uni I need all the cash I can get so I decide to work on Paddys day.


Oh and I guess I'm not your stereotypical Irish guy, I don't drink.

Cheers mate! And I'm not sure of a start yet as I need to get my CRB check back. But hopefully in a couple of weeks.

Controversial!!!!!   

redkenny... surely that quote is misrepresenting me, I had an explanation after it

I only grabbed this last bit, but thank god for that. Know what you mean about the kids. I'm quite the hypocrite to be fair. I condone and appreciate that they're thrying to be "adults" and that they're finding their way in the world, but when I have to be around them I want to bash all their F***ing heads in!! 

You work in a bar or restaurant? One of the absolute paydays of the year.

I'm gonna try to get some music into mp3 for ya and send something along on this thread. Let's see how much longer the boys sleeps, though, before I commit.

I actually work in a dvd rental place... pretty boring but €9.25 an hour for nothing

One of the quietest nights of the year, then? What are yous watching now? 'Wind That Shakes the Barley'. 'Michael Collins' (in all its fictionalized, Hollywood glory, I might add)...??

EDIT: Nice one. LP. The same to you! Watch yourself out there.

Haha, actually I'm just about to turn on the 1st series of Lie to Me

Ah we were actually alright last year in terms of being busy, but been relatively dead in here all day today. (recession has hit the industry for sure)

Might do the same thing as you BR! Ginger Ale and Jamo, been meaning to try that

And I'll be doing my paper for Journalism that's due tomorrow.. Then finally free!! For a week and a half

Might crank some good 'ol Irish rock as well.

Ugh! Now you'll be blaming me for your not getting anything done!

Thus begins bigv's final descent...

Either that or I write a F***ing brilliant article in my drunkin haze and I'll be thanking ya

Well, I am reminded of the literary giants... Thompson, Hemingway, Bukowski ( )...

I started my ranting at "Reply #18" and I've mentioned to spread it out here and on Facebook. So, no...  

Just cracked open my first beer.

Cheers everyone!

What took ya so long?! Have had a few beers and am now on my third large Jamie n ginger (aka, bigv's new favorite drink).


EDIT: And, Slainte, Gow, my friend.

I was waiting to see if my long day at work made me want to have a nap, or whether the urge for beer would win (I hadn't had any since Sunday!). The urge won!

The truth will surface!
