So not too long left until St. Patrick's weekend - 70-80 million people claim Irish ancestry across the globe along with an estimated 6 million people claiming to be of Irish descent in the UK - about 1 million people more then on the island of Ireland itself.
Any plans (Irish descent or not) to do anything over the weekend or on the 17th itself to mark the day where it seems the world turns green? - I'll be heading for a few quiet ones that day and night to celebrate this little country
Irish tourist board have released a great little St. Patrick's day video which has gone viral showcasing the best of what Ireland has given the world/achieved http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wmIZEl1nSo
Its great to see the relationship between Ireland and the UK flourish and I would advise all of you to raise a glass over the weekend - Irish descent or not

I can do that without having to do it on a certain day. Same as Valentine's, Halloween etc.
I have French in my ancestors, not Irish. Oh well.
We do however have a massive carnival-style party on March 17th as it is my daughter's birthday
Not being racial or anything, but its kind of a shame your daughter doesn't have some Irish connections. You can imagine the fuss that gets made of someone here whose birthday is St Patrick's Day.
Yup, through and through. I sometimes think it might be nice to have a more varied ancestry but I'm quite proud of being so thoroughly Welsh I'm taking a friend to see Wicked in Cardiff for her birthday on the 17th, so we'll have a Guinness for you
When my daughter was born the midwifes suggested I should call her Patricia... I blamed the expletives I replied with on the drugs ;-)
