Happy St Pats Day to one and all. I am in Samoa and it is (because of that Date Line) the day before ie 16th so we celebrated last night with some duty free Jamiesons. The way to go.

Samoans are the Irish of the Pacific. No Snakes, wear lava lavas (kilts) drink beer and have a lot of fun always.

Now that's a tough one.

As it happens, I was doing some research on this just a few days ago, and the last known date upon which an Irish person was found to be sober was way, way back in the seventh century.
