And the plugger already has his green beer gut!

This plugger is bearly green! (Apologies to Gent.)

And if that plugger keels over today, bless his soul, somebody will sing Danny Boy for him.

Happy St Patrick’s Day to All !

Got mine on!

I don’t have a green flannel shirt, but I do have a couple of green t-shirts, that’ll have to suffice…

I have an orange shirt on and will eat shepherd’s pie for dinner. But for breakfast, I did enjoy the free green beer with my bangers and mash right down the street at the local pub …

Why, yes, yes I am.

Wearing my orange sweater.

Why do we wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day?

Leprechauns are actually one reason you’re supposed to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day—or risk getting pinched! The tradition is tied to folklore that says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, which like to pinch anyone they can see.

Why is blue associated with St. Patrick?

The colour blue’s association with Saint Patrick dates from the 1780s, when it was adopted as the colour of the Anglo-Irish Order of St Patrick. The term refers to a sky blue used by the Order of St Patrick, often confused in Ireland with a darker, rich blue.

I wear green whenever I want.

Beggorah, I did wear my green flannel shirt today.

Today’s St. Pat’s Day. Someone offered me a green beer. I told him no thanks, I prefer to wait until it’s ripe.
