Why do Southern Irish Nationalists call St Patricks Day, Paddys Day!
Them Munster kutehoors trying to break away ??
Seriously ... it's secularism trying to dump another Christian tradition

And its neither St Stephen's Day or Boxing Day, its Lá an Dreoilín.
Do they still do 'The Wren' or 'The Wran' where any of ye are from?
Just saw that the poem is in that link:
Still a bit of it round North Ros among the children when I was young ... we'd dress up in oul clothes and rattle a few coins, blow into mouth organs and the like door to door.
Now it's confined to occasional real musicians doin rounds of pubs .
The rhyme we had was
" The wran the wran king of all birds
St Stephenses day was caught in the furze
Up with the kettles and down with the pans
Give us a penny to bury the wran"
I believe wren boys were called mummers in parts of Laythrum .

majority of the income tax raised in Ireland. Even if only 20% of them ?
Taking from the willing to work and giving it to the lazy cnuts who won't........
at home and be as well off as opposed to going to work

Panic is over.
They've got him ( or so it seems ) :

Robby Savage was class on 5 Live last night when he was asked if Newcastle was a big club
"Newcastle aren't a big club, wow they get big attendances, but that is only because the people of Newcastle have nothing else to do."
What in the name of God would Robbie Savage know about a big club? This no talent clown spent most of his time playing for rubbish like Leicester and Derby. Robbie Savage should concentrate on what he's good at fake tans and bleaching his hair despite the fact that he must be 35 by now. Newcastle is a far bigger club than any of the rubbish he ever played for
Who have both won top flight domestic trophies since the last time Newcastle have. Savage can be a bit of a clown at times but I agree with him on this.
