Well happy St Paddy’s day one and all.

Being a good Australian of no Irish heritage what so ever I plan on using today as an excuse to drown my numerous sorrows, have some “Irish” Nachos at King O’Malley’s and see the Full Circle Band performing at PJ O’Reilly’s in Civic from 1.00pm – 4.00pm and/or at Filthy McFadden’s 5.00pm-8.00pm in Kingston (thanks to the FourStings website for the heads up).

Anything else worth seeing doing on this non-public holiday St Patrick’s Day?

Not sure if this is true or not, but I have been told that when St Patricks day falls in the so-called ‘holy week’ – being apparently the week preceding Easter then it dosn’t exist that year – I originally thought my informant meant that it’s not observed, but they were adamant that it was simply written off for that year. Are there any in the know Micks in the RA community that might shed some light on this?

I was supposed to be spending the day getting absolutely smashed. Then work got busy. Woe is me.
