St Patrick's Day

[mikeprice]

Never really celebrate Paddy's day (as it is known round here)

 

basically because it is Mrs mikeprice's birthday so that takes priority

 

we did go out for a meal in our favourite pub and they had a band on

 

basically it turns out that to be an Irish band for Paddy's night you wear something green, one of you wears a green felt top hat like thing and then you lob "Irish Rover" into a set of English folk and traditional songs

 

Still - great meal and we had a good time

 

funny thing though - me ordered a taxi to get home - got the call to say it was outside and got outside just in time to see it drive off with some other people

we checked with another taxi outside just in case he was ours - wrong signs on the side but Brother-in-laws does 2 firms and I can;t believe he gets the right stickers all teh time

 

it wasn;t but the 2 people who had booked it asked us where we were going

we gave a general area and it turns out they were going taht way as well

got nearer and we mention the estate - they were going to the same estate

got eve nearer and turns out they were going to the same road

 

they live about 4 doors up from us but didn't recognise me without the cycle helmet and hi vis jacket

weird coincidence!!

(note - they live 4 doors up but there is a side road causing a sort of division in the area so we only tend to know the people in 'our end' of the close!)

Happy Birthday Mrs mikeprice

 

 

(her Mother had a thing for Saint's days

 

Sister is St Valentine's day and her brother is St.$someoneelse

 

Catholic Church thing I assume!!!)

 

Anyway - Irish family anyway)

 

Must go to Dublin one year and see if we can blag some free booze for the Birthday girl!!

 

 

She did it once many years ago and didn;t pay for a drink all night

and that girl can drink!!!
