Happy St. Pat's to you Dawno

I'm a bit o' Irish. O'Brien on me mother's side. Her mom was Kitty O'Brien.

Happy St. Paddy's Day, y'all.

I wish I was in America 'cause they know how to celebrate St. Patrick's Day proper. I'm a wee Irish girl in England and I doubt that I'll hear any drunken Irish songs here. Oh well!

Go to Liverpool

I’m not Irish, but surrounded by Irish and Italians. I have no choice. Here’s the South Side Irish song screamed out at the parade last weekend. Happy St. Pat's Day!

South Side Irish Song

We're the Windy City Irish-where the good times are the best
Where every day is Paddy's Day and everyone's a guest
If you're Irish on the North Side or Irish on the West
Welcome to the South Side come join our Irish Fest!

Chorus

We're the South Side Irish as our fathers were before
We come from the Windy City and we're Irish to the core
From Bridgeport to Beverly from Midway to South Shore
We're the South Side Irish-Let's sing it out once more!

Our parents came from Mayo, from Cork and Donegal.
We come from Sabina, St. Kilian's and St. Gall
St. Leo, Visitation, Little Flower and the rest.
The South Side parishes are mighty-they're the best!

Chorus

We live on the South Side-Mayor Daley lived here too
The Greatest Irish Leader that Chicago ever knew
and he was always so proud of his South Side Irish roots!
So here's to His Honor to his memory we'll be true.

Chorus

We sing the songs our fathers sang when they were growing up
Rebel songs of Erin's Isle in the South Side Irish Pubs
and when it comes to baseball-we have two favorite clubs
The Go-Go White Sox... and whoever plays the Cubs!

I'm 1/4th Irish, My daughter 1/8th, my grandson 1/16th. Those Italians are bleeding the green out of us.

I have the same problem here. 1/4 Irish, 1/2 Italian, 1/4 Hungarian. It's terrible.

I'm welsh german and italian. So don't piss me off cause I fly like a butterfly but I sting like a bee.


Pinch!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm half-Irish, half-german. I'll lift my bit o'Jamesons now, and in a few hours I'll want to take over the world!

It's all good . . . Patrick was a Welshman, anyway

And I'll not hold that against him.

I've got some Irish in me.

No body call the cops, I'm raiding your coolers.

Oh my...the day started out innocently enough - a planned dash down to my old pub before it got too smokey so my wee girl could enjoy some tunes. In by 11:00 and out by 1:00 at the lastest.

I was up until 3:30 AM writing and my daughter woke up at 7:30. The hubby took her so I could get a bit more sleep. I sat straight up in bed at 10:15. We rushed out the door without me having any breakfast so I had a pint instead at the pub. That pint led to another, then another...then a shot of Jameson, then another shot of Jameson...after that it's a blur

We got home an hour ago!!! My daughter took a two hour nap in the middle of a ceilidhe!! Full on amplified trad tunes blasting away, and she went out like a light. She had a blast - she danced, she ate pub food, she danced some more...she watched mommy act like she was back at Uni. I had quite the time myself, but now the room is spinning a bit and my head is sore.

ahhhh, good times.
Off to drink a few glasses of water and tumble into bed.

The hubby is currently snoring on the couch...cute when he's in his cups...
