Happy St Patrick's Day

savvy

Hellooooooooooooo I've done a little thread for St Patricks Day for you guys in the Arms :beer: but then I remembered the fab time I had when I had a holiday over on this board some years back and thought I'd come over and visit for the day.........so here I am

I should say that I was born in England and have always lived in England but on the 2 occasions I've visited Ireland I have always felt an affinity with it, so being 1/4 Irish I thought I should start embracing this affinity more and perhaps the family name O'Grady

I'm making colcanon for the first time for dinner tonight............but what goes best with it?? And are there any Irish puds?? :undecided

Does that mean you have Mayo roots? I'm from near Kiltimagh. Like you born in England, but we went to live at home when I was 9, left to come back here in my 20's but Ireland is and always will be, home.

Can't help on the pud front as we only eat about 2 a year!

Oh cool, I actually don't know where my lot came from as they settled in Paddington, London - will have to find out! I was in Kiltimagh visiting an ex's family, when they built the new airport at Knock and needed the aviation fire service out there Spent 2 great weeks there with a local called Declan who was great fun and drove us about places..........unfortunately not long after we got back he was killed in an RTA

not really but i worked in a call centre in shannon for 18 months so used to go out weekly on a little teeny tiny plane that was not the best for anyone not fond of flying :rotfl:

loved the people I worked with so much and managed to do a bit of travelling around. I miss ireland

so tonight i raise my baileys glass to the best nation next to England :D
