“This was such a pleasant St Patrick’s Day until the Irish turned up.”

So say’s Marge in the Paddy’s Day episode of The Simpsons. It appears that the program makes a bit of a skit of Irish culture.
Could it be that the producers of the show saw how WE celebrate the ‘festive occasion’ on the streets of our cities and towns when the parades are finished?
Ah yes, about this time tomorrow night a visitor to this country who really want’s to see Irish Culture will only have to walk down our streets, if they are brave enough, or take a peek into our A&E departments.
Of course, a nice little photo of the main street of any town taken early the next morning would be a nice holiday memento. A close-up of the vomit would be nice.
