Happy Monday
It appears from entries on a few posts rad today that some of you are planning to celebrate St Patrick's Day this evening. Um, why? St Patrick's Day was last Saturday. Of course, I care not for such things but I was called upon to settle an argument at the bar last Saturday, one of the regulars was drinking Guinness, which was most out of character-it was explained why, and no one believed her, so I had to look it up online. (ETA: The Beeb site has a longer and better researched article on the same topic it seems)
Apparently they change it every so often as it's not allowed to happen during Holy Week (which has something to do with Eostre this weekend I'm given to understand), so it gets moved every so often. Looks like a bunch of marketeers missed a trick to not run it last Saturday. He was a bit weird anyway, why would you want to banish snakes?
So, y'know, have a very happy Monday anyway. You might as well eat drink and be merry if you feel like it, why do you need some dead bloke to give you an excuse?
