Also, the beer brewed in old breweries where the huge tanks in which it is maturing stand open contain animal ingredients simply because sometimes mice, rats and cats hunting them fall into the tank and drown.
That's why these beers taste different and new breweries of the space age will nerver be match for them btw.
In case you're wondering, I'm not kidding.

the way i see it, getting pissed is better than getting my shit kicked in in town for not waving a tricolour

The irony of celebrating Irish nationalism by remembering a Brit that came over here from Great Britain appears to be lost on everybody.

Well being Irish perhaps is good at this one point...

Pffft. Who needs to be Irish? Why not celebrate it anyway?

Pffft. Who needs to be Irish? Why not celebrate it anyway?
because Belfast is pretty much the only place in the world where St Paddys Day is such an issue that its known to spark riots, and if youre not wearing the right colour of football top, or waving the right flag, youll get your crap kicked in

as is my experience...

At least he's not English.

Celebrate it in memory of an authoritaran state or of an authoritarian church? The only good thing that came from that fucker St Patrick is the joke about the snakes.

Celebrate as in party without giving a damn for why you are celebrating? :rolleyes:

I turned 21 on Sunday, so I suppose I should enjoy tomorrow?

finding a reason to celebrate St Paddys Day in Belfast is difficult

happy Ireland day!!
forget the excuse and join the celebration of pagan celtic culture that this day (by which i mean tomorrow) has become.

There is a scientific term for a human that takes in no animal proteins: Dead.

Yesterday was the Ides of March...

hmm two morrow is the last day b4 spring break 4 me :)

Most overrated beer ever. (Budweiser is 2nd place I think.)

Who's wearing orange tomorrow?

(And who gets why I'm asking?)
So you're a hardcore Northern Irishman?

Incendiary.

Sturgeon guts (isinglass) are used in the manufacturing of Guinness. (It's actually my favourite beer so this is not just bullshit trashing it.)

Damn right. And don't forget Corona

Really? So my 20 year old friend who's been vegetarian since the age of 4 isn't really alive? Crap....is what your claim is.
There is no significant difference between animal and non-animal protein, at least, not to the extent that not having any animal protein will kill you. My main source of protein is Quorn(tm), which can be very nice...on the other hand, it can be crap.

St Patrick was from Wales yes, but he was of Celtic stock rather than the Norman stock which has dominated Britain for the last 900 years, and which gave rise to British imperialism. Patrick would be ethnically closer to the Irish people today than the British people.

Actually, Christianity in Ireland was independent and inclusive of all before the Carmelites (?) arrived in the 11th century. And St Patrick has no ties to either the British empire or the Irish government since 1919.

No, he's taking in non-vegetarian proteins unexpectedly. It doesn't have to be much, or frequent. Seriously: unless you hand prepare all of your own food, you will never know.

BTW, if you're a vegetarian for ethical reasons, you better only wear synthetic fibres. No leather, no silk, etc. And stop driving. You're using an animal byproduct to fuel your vehicle.

Silk is fine for a vegetarian, but not for a vegan. No, I'm not doing it for ethical reasons, I'm doing it because it's healthier. The amount of saturated fat that I eat now compared to when I wasn't vegetarian is around 15% (well, that's the average figure for a vegetarian diet compared to a 'normal' diet).

St Patrick was from Wales yes, but he was of Celtic stock rather than the Norman stock which has dominated Britain for the last 900 years, and which gave rise to British imperialism. Patrick would be ethnically closer to the Irish people today than the British people.

Actually claimed origins for Saint Patrick range from Wales, through Scotland to the North-East of England.

This is technically true, but fundamentally irrelevant when you are confronted by a drunken mob of students wearing Celtic tops and looking for an excuse to celebrate their cultural heritage by kicking the shit out you. Ah, the joys of appropriation...


EDIT: I must have been making an internal comparison to the 12th because I wrote 'Rangers' here instead of 'Celtic'. Odd.

Do ya?

st paddy's piss up?

(or guiness day if you listen to virgin radio)

both groups of drunken retards are as bad as each other...

my school had to close each St Paddys day because it was too dangerous for a school seen as Protestant to be dragging kids into the city centre in uniform...

They should all just be put on an island somewhere and left to fight amongst themselves.

Miller's highly over-rated, at least in America. It tastes like piss.

...Not that I've ever tasted piss...

Ahh, right.

Thought it either that or St. George's day (meh, sue me I don't know when it is. I'm not particuarly English anyway).

I dont think anybody here even knows that exists, its that inconsequential

which is funny, in a way, as everyone else seems to rememer our Saints day

I hate green beer. It just isn't right. What kind of whiskey is appropriate for the occaision?

famous grouse?

12th?

...of July. Not the 'glorious 12th' - I fail to see what relevance grouse shooting would have to the matter at hand, but I'm sure there is some.

That was a bit uncanny seeing someone mention 'grouse' just after I had said there was no relevance between the matter at hand and grouse. oooh spooky.

famous grouse?
is that not Scottish?

is that not Scottish?

yes. That was the point.

Need I explain every little quip?

Duh on the Irish whiskey part. I'm a Scotch drinker, so I don't buy Irish whiskey, only some bourbon from time to time. Same idea? Single malt, 12 years old or so?

yes. That was the point.

yes

especially crappy ones like that :p

Bushmills > Scotch

well, Bushmills > Scotch that ive tasted, which admittedly isnt much

(its the oldest liscenced distillery in the world...there you go, useless whiskey related trivia for you)

Sounds like an excuse for taste-testing to me.

Bushmills

It is also, reportedly, the inbreeding capital of Northern Ireland. Whether these two facts are in any way related is an exercise left for the reader to undertake.
