Lá Fhéile Pádraig,
Happy St Patrick's Day to one and all!For the heathens amongst us; St. Patrick was born in Wales and taken over to Ireland as a slave where he worked on the mountains looking after sheep. He found God up on the hills and they hatched a successful escape plan, and he escaped back to Roman Britain.Anyway, he returned to Ireland as a priest years later; drove the snakes out and converted large swathes of the people to Christianity using the three leaves of the shamrock to illustrate the holy trinity. He died on the 17 March.So there you have it; you're now officially inducted, wear a bit of green, say three Hail Mary's and an Our Father to atone for your sins and you're good to go!By the way, The Bricklayers Arms is rated in the top ten best pints of Guinness in London (or the 33rd. county as we know it!)G'wan and split the G, lent is over for the day, and remember, all we are saying is give peace a chance!
