I thought this festival came from Irish in America, a story something about Christians and Saint Pat killing all those snakes

Look how you now have to be in South Korea, Argentina, Taiwan, Brazil, China and other places to celebrate it

You too Brenda.

Just another Wednesday to me.

The Orange and the Green

Oh, it is the biggest mix-up
That you have ever seen
My father he was orange
And my mother she was green

My father was an Ulsterman, proud Protestant was he
My mother was a Catholic girl, from County Cork was she
They were married in two churches, lived happily enough
Until the day that I was born then things got rather rough

Baptized by Father Riley, I was rushed away by car
To be made a little Orangeman, me father's shining star
I was christened "David Anthony" but still inspite of that
To me father, I was William, while my mother called me Pat

With Mother every Sunday, to Mass I'd proudly stroll
Then after that the Orange lodge would try to save my soul
For both sides try to claim me, but I was smart
I played the flute or played the harp, depending where I was

One day me Ma's relations came round to visit me
Just as my father's kinfolk were all sitting down to tea
We tried to smooth things over but they all began to fight
And me being strictly neutral, I bashed everyone in sight

My parents never could agree about my type of school
My learning was all done at home, that's why I'm such a fool
They've both passed on God rest 'em, but left me caught between
That awful colour problem of the Orange and the Green

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I hope this goes up and STYAS up!

Happy St Patty's Day back to you, Brenda!
