The AH Paddy's Day Megathread

Sure it will be grand

Garda van spotted in Times Square :P

Watching the Paddy's day parade on the RTE Player - Derek Mooney's commentary is absolutely woeful. Uninteresting observations coupled with reading random facts off a sheet about whatever band happens to be passing by.

Went in to the parade today.

It's funny how the crowd can bring out the 'inner tosser' in some of the performers...

Some performers don't take too kindly to having bricks hurled at them, the party-poopers.

I was downtown for lunch earlier, all the Canadians are wearing mad Irish hats and green. By 3 o'clock there were queues outside some pubs.

Dunno if I will go out downtown later, I hate packed places. Had a great night at the graduate Paddy's Day party in the college bar last night though and feeling pretty delicate so wouldn't be too sad.

Green beer tasted like leprechaun piss.

Are Off- Licenses open today?

First St Paddy's Day in a few years that I am indeed sober! Hope ye all having a good night...should be out though Was busy day though, town very busy. Usually a very boring day for once the shops are open on St Patrick's Day.

Enjoy the rest of the St Paddy's festivities!

Show Time

Hope you all enjoyed Saint Patrick's day folks.

Absolutely brilliant day. Saw some great friends I haven't seen in a while, had a good few drinks and was front row in The Dubliners.

Life genuinely doesn't get better. Hope everyone had a great one!

Had a fantastic day! Just crawled into bed now. Hangover kicking in already. Expece to be hating life when I wake up in 3 hours (up at 8am all week and no matter what time I sleep at weekends I can't lie in!).

Worth it though . Hope you all had a great time!

I wonder where there the usual mini riots and anti social behaviour. It would be nice to think it all passed off peacefully, but **scumbags**, they are always present to fukc it up for everyone else.

I suspect most of it resides where it always did - in the minds of Evening Herald writers.

I'm in a very very bad way, I genuinely think I've been killed :cool:

Headed to a pub at midday, I got in at 4 in the morning. It was a great day out but I'm definitely feeling the consequences now

Paddys day = Excuse for people to go out binge drinking from 1pm all day. I spent mine, hungover from Friday night. Watched crappy tv, and the Inbetweeners with mates and had a couple of quiet beers. I dislike the crowds, and super drunk people and queues. Heading out this afternoon for a few drinks instead - lovely beer garden weather

I don't think so, you do see it at least i did last year, Gardai running everywhere the sirens wailing up and down O Connell street, it was the same on the night Dublin won the all ireland.

Me too! A fresh, still slightly drunk daisy. Big fade of mash and roast pork washed down with tay you could trot a mouse across now, then workout, conference call with some Americans later, and round off the day playing tag with the puppy on the beach using bits of seaweed.

Please make it stop.

I like you because you usually have your feet well planted and in touch with reality.

And I'm not usually one to knock Paddy's day revelry, but last night was one of the worse I've spent on a door anywhere.. Templebar was pure mayhem, at one stage I'd to apologize to a guard for having called them to the door time after time.

Last night was mayhem start to finish.

A little advice for people, if you're around trouble and security are involved - unless it directly concerns you LEAVE THEM TO THEIR JOB!.. Twice I was punched last night because people interfered in something which didn't concern them.

This is a great post from Tommy;

Brilliant, made me smile.. But there is a sizable majority of the Paddys day crowd just out to disgrace themselves and f*ck up what should be a brilliant day of celebration for others.
