    There's nothing on the Corporations website, a text to Ocean FM might be in order.

    It was FREEZING! Lots of effort put in on some of the floats. Gilroy Tiles one was a good laugh! And fair play to Abbot too.

    I thought it was a really good parade.
    I was surprised at how many shops were closed though.

    It gave up a security alert when I clicked on it, but I let it through (crazy me)and they worked grand.

    Thanks to Magnumlady and Devil for the photos.

    Haven't been to a parade in years. I like some of the bands, but the inanity of the rest is too much for that time of the morning. And the whole day is a bit take it or leave it for most people I know too. The young ones seem to make a big deal and get super hammered for it, but I never enjoyed it as a drinking day. It's great drinking all day with your friends, but when everyone is at it, it all gets a bit messy and depressing. Driving around town on Monday night it seemed to be 17-22 year olds staggering around and puking in doorways and stragely many of them in fancy dress, like they were at a match or something. Two girls were covered in dark green body paint. It was nasty looking. :confused:

    Driving round town at night, checking out young girls? You can get into trouble for that!

    I can only imagine! I do my utmost to avoid Paddys Day celebrations... it's generally a very messy day. When you see bouncers on door of the likes of The Clarence before mid-day, it's not usually a good sign!
