Well.... your accent needs brushing up to begin with, Daniel!!! I shall be celebrating in my usual way!!! lol BC

Why isn't St. George's Day celebrated? Ann

I might look out something green to wear to work.

Anne, St George's Day will be celebrated at Newcastle. I am taking my flag.

Oi don't really nu.'as it ever been? Oi tink st. patrick's is jist tradishun nowadays. Oi wud loike ter clap st. george's be celebrated in de seem way.

Daniel, This Turrrsdee??? where did you ever hear anyone say Thursday like that? must be a mix of Irish/Wirral accent!!! BC I nominate you to help Daniel brush up on his Irish accent or he will embarrass himself on Thursday :-) Daniel if you are celebrating it enjoy yourself, I'm afraid I don't celebrate any Saints Days.

College/school still has to go in. Maybe if I take in my irish family tree they'll let me off :-)

Hi Pat. Yeh, excruciating is'nt it???? I shall take young Daniel to a quiet corner and try and teach him Gaelic. Im off now to watch Newcastle....Bye for now. xx BC

How can I ever forget St Patrick's Day. Why - because that is the day I was married. Having a party next Saturday for 60-70 friends and family, coincides with my husband's 80th birthday too - double celebration. Sylvia xxx

Kevin, That is not nice I just asked my son to translate that 'Don't be talking rubbish' ? Could have at least said happy St. Patrick's Day to Daniel. Get into the spirit of things Kevin loosen up. Pat x

Happy Paddy's Day to all the Irish among you! I'm doing something very special. I'm having a coffee morning to raise money for Pink's Fund. I'm having a raffle and going to sell cakes, now all I have to do is learn how to make a decent cup of coffee! If anyone lives in or near Cambridge and wants to come, let me know! Daisy

Kevin. Show a little courtesy please. BC

I hope to be enjoying the craic at some wee Irish pub, (if l can find one within walking distance of my home lol) where the first drink will be a toast to my mum and the rest for me hic hic aahhh. I hope to hear some of my favourite songs as well. Anne x

Anne. On the day, you name and I'll sing it!!!! lol BC

Kevin, I know what you mean things like that bug me too, but Daniel didn't mean any offence you can see that, I thought it was very funny myself trying to write in an Irish accent, it's more than Manning could do LOL. Funny so many English people use Jamaican words all the time these days and don't even realise they are doing it, it has become part of everyday speech. The goodness gracious team named the show as a homage to Peter Sellars, so there's no offence taken there hey? there is room for a bit of fun in accents, and the Irish are good at laughing at themselves. Just thought writing that in Irish was unfair to Daniel as he may have thought it was a nice remark instead of what it was. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too, glad you came back and wished Daniel the same. Pat x

Ah, to be shure, Danny me boy, we are that! Y'see, 'tis me lad's birthday, an' we're jiggin' off to the bowlin' alley to see if we can be after gettin' a lane there at all, at all. Then after, we'll be headin' back to the ould homestead for a boite o' supper an' a bit o' the Divil's Food cake with Hamerican Frostin', that'll be all the arfternoon in the makin'. A few jars of poteen should see the evenin' off to a grand finish. CB >|< X

Buttercup can you sing The green Fields of France/No mans Land, and Dublin in the rare auld times, and maybe a few wee rebels songs?? Anne xx

Lol CB hope you have a grand day Anne x
