For all our Irish friends out there may I wish you a warm and happy 'Paddy's Day and may your festivities go on long into the night ! (As if they would not be anyway!) :lol:

You did mean to put "happy 'Paddy's Day for Monday" right?

No Pubdog, it was the official St Paddy's night on March 15th and not !7th for some strange reason.
Sure our Irish friends could elaborate!

Me? Celebrate both? Why not?

Apologies, I concede. Guess I missed it this year then :oops:

Rome approved the shift of the official religious celebration two days back to March 15, which falls on a Saturday.
...The last time St Patrick's Day had to be moved was in 1940 when it coincided with Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week. The next date it will have to be moved again is 2160.
