after all St-Patrick Days is celebrated all over…

perhaps another round of mass emigration might be needed here…

You might also find the site here a bit 'foreign' as half of the writers are not Irish ;) Anyway check back to see my Chinese New Year pics shortly :) “we shouldn’t be celebrating the Chinese new year” – I don’t wish to be rude ‘anonymous’ Jim, but you don’t have to celebrate anything.
