If you were St.Patrick...

[Snarf]

If you were St.Patrick what would you banish from Ireland. Patrick or Palladius or whatever he was called must have had a serious snake issue to go as far as banning them from the Country, like surely he could give them a small part of the Country that serves no other user ( e.g Wexford ) and allow them live freely there....

Anyway...what would you banish from Ireland...

[icequeen]

monkeys. And clampers.

[smcgiff]

Rule 42.

St. Paddy... He banished the snakes from Ireland... All of them, even the dead ones, so that there's be no doubt that he banished them, no remains no nuttin !

[blastman]

Banks

At least snakes are cool!

Poor St. Urho has to be remembered for banishing grasshoppers from Finland. Incidentaly today is St. Urho's day.

I bet he doesn't get a look in with the girls with St Paddy struting around with snakes underfoot.

I've done more research on this. Quite the interesting tale which is summarised here (http://www.sturho.com/)

[Sparks]

The catholic church. In fact, religion in general.
And Fianna Fail.
And Fine Gael.
And Sinn Fein.
In fact, feck all the twats that decide "they know best" off the feckin' island so we can get on with it.

I was waiting for someone to banish FF off the island. I should've thought it'd be you sparks. :D

You'll let the Blue Shirts & Greens stay on the island though? They could form the Teal party! :p

I wish we had some St. Urho's Day celebrations in Illinois. I'd never heard of that before. Sounds like great fun and a perfect reason to extend the mid-March drinkathon.

[Sparks]

Thought I said I'd kick all of them off ick?

[blather]

viviparous lizards

[Qu1zMaster]

I'd banish:
Chewing gum.
People who stand beside you at a bus stop and spit the whole time.
Ads for crap overpriced children's toys.
Loud music in pubs.
People who throw litter out the car window.
Bull bars.

[blather]

I've nothing against lizards. I actually like them. Just that everyone assumes they've been banished anyway.

[ArseBurger]

Scangers and taxi drivers....

Actually, is there a difference...?!

[doyler]

for a bit of a northern perspective on patricks day click http://www.sluggerotoole.com/home/archives/003238.asp

[PinkNFluffy]

Rude people
Spitters and people who vomit in the street
Kids who sit on my doorstep and get all opstreperous (sp?) when I shoo them to get in/out
Women who put their makeup on in the jax when there's a queue outside
More to follow...

[Seoman]

The government

[smcgiff]

Women who check make-up in rear view mirror while driving (slowly*) in traffic.

Although, I have to admit it only happened once, but when I overtook her a big articulate came out of the fog and nearly put a dampener on my day.

She even had the cheek to beep her horn at me!

* For the pedants – I also don’t approve of women who check make-up in rear view mirror while driving fast in traffic.

[parsley]

i'd banish postcards of donkeys looking over walls

[Grumblefish]

People who can't drive on dual carriageways properly (fastlane hangers)
Walkers Crisps (begone! and take that Linekar twat with you!)
Patricia McKenna
Traffic lights at roundabouts
Ignorant little fuckwits who steal my seat in the nice new Porterhouse North pub on Paddy's Day
