Uilliam, that’s a great looking uniform! Pardon my ignorance, but what group or militia is it associated with?
Have a safe, enjoyable St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
It looks like the uniform pipers in the Irish regiments wear.

OK it’s a bit silly but it’s fun, and much much better then a lot of the songs that get sung on my name day:
PATRICK WAS A GENTLEMAN
Patrick was a gentleman, came from decent people
Built the church in Dublin town, and on it placed a steeple
His father was a Gallagher, his mother was a Brady
His auntie was an O’Shaughnessy, his uncle was a Grady
The Wicklow hills are very high, and so’s the Hill of Howth, sir
But there’s a hill much higher still, much higher than them both, sir
And on the top of this high hill St. Patrick preached his sermom
Which drove the frogs into the bogs and banished all the vermin
There’s not a mile of Eirann’s isle where dirty vermin musters
But there he put his dear fore-foot and murdered them in clusters
The frogs went hop and the toads went pop slapdash into the water
And the snakes committed suicide to save themselves from slaughter
Nine hundred thousand reptiles blue he charmed with sweet discourses
And dined on them in Killaloe on soups and second courses
Where blind worms crawling in the grass disgusted all the nation
Right down to hell with a holy spell he changed their situation
No wonder that them Irish lads should be so gay and frisky
Sure St. Pat he taught them that as well as making whiskey
No wonder that the saint himself should understand distilling
For his mother kept a shebeen shop in the town of Enniskillen
Was I but so fortunate as to be back in Munster
I’d be bound that from that ground I never more would once stir
There St. Patrick planted turf and cabbages and praties
Pigs galore, mo gra, mo stor, altar boys and ladies.
Sin é.
Sung to the tune of “Maggie In the Woods”.
DISCLAIMER: The poster in no way advocates the forced conversion of anyone to any faith. This is just a comic song appropriate for a particular saint’s day celebration that has become an almost entirely secular celebration and an excuse for overindulging in alcohol, corned beef & cabbage, and green plastic bowler hats. Move along. No money returned. Your mileage may vary. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Void where prohibited.
Here,s me enjoying the craic last year ,hopefully this year will be as good!!!

Another pint, please.

Hey Rory,
nice pants you’ve got there, showing you Irish support with the tartan. HahHah! just joking!
That was bloody excellent!
Hey!.. are any of you guys doing any gigs on the big day? - I’m always in demand on St Paddy’s Day and imagine that a few of you would be too.
Since it falls on a Saturday this year, everyone on my floor of the building that I work at are celebrating today (Friday). I’m playing something for them today and again at a wedding tomorrow. However, it’s raining today and is forecast for rain again tomorrow so I hope my extremely dry climate reed doesn’t suffer for it.
Well … is anyone planning to get LOCKED for St. Patrick’s Day???
