So tired of the Irish "always drinking and fighting" stereotypes

As soon as I finish this beer, I'm going to hit someone.

I can joke, very proud of both my Irish and my German roots.

They should make St. Patricks day a permanent Saturday night "holiday".

If we're talking stereotypes - how can you joke with German roots?

I too have Irish roots, my mum was born in Cork but adopted and brought up in Blighty. This made it much more difficult for me to join the RAF.

I didn't know this, plus it's even in Russia, Japan and South Korean:

Montserrat
The tiny island of Montserrat, known as "Emerald Island of the Caribbean" because of its founding by Irish refugees from Saint Kitts and Nevis, is the only place in the world apart from Ireland and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador where St Patrick's Day is a public holiday. The holiday also commemorates a failed slave uprising that occurred on 17 March 1768

How so?
The British services are full of us Micks.
Unless of course your mum was one of those "peoples republic of Cork" types.

I'm out for a curry tonight for the wife's birthday, I shall enjoy a great British pint of Guinness to say a secular cheers to a great British person, St. Patrick.
