FYI: Pete only recently found out I was Irish when he asked me if I was voting in the Brexit referendum and I kindly explained to him why I couldn't. I've been playing online games with him for 5 years.

Did he have you on mute for five years?

This.

My old workplace used to have all this gooseberry fool about quizzes on Ireland, "come into work dressed in green lolitssomuchfun!", Irish food in the restaurant, usual cliched crap. Glad my new place doesn't bother.

I'll be getting drunk tonight whilst playing crazy golf in some bar in east London. I have some Irish blood in me and I'm a ginger haired banana split so I should really be added to this poll.

On account of being not remotely Irish I'm going to call today by it's actual name... Friday and as such I will be spending it the same way I spend nearly every Friday, playing video games with a few beers.

In my defence he could quite easily have been born in England and only moved to Ireland for enough time to pick up an accent and then moved back again I've known plenty of people like that.
I also have a piss poor memory so he could have told me he was from Ireland about 50 times already and I'd just forgotten. I can't even remember the names of the people I work with every day so yeah, my memory isn't fantastic.

My definitive St. Patrick's Day to-do checklist:

- Have a lie in
- Don't go anywhere near the town
- No shamrocks
- Green attire optional
- Stay sober

> Staying in, avoiding town as all the race going twunts will be about the being loutish
> Deliveroo for Dinner
> Arkham LCG - Dunwich Scenario
> Grindr or similar later for drunken desperate race goer

I voted for Pete.

Spare a thought for poor Bear & Rax who didn't even make it onto the poll.

This is pretty harsh for poor Jiggles. But to be fair I couldn't not vote for Peter Crisp

Top of the mornin to ya all! Happy St Patrick's Day!!

Apologies to the Irish I missed out of the poll to be sure to be sure.

Genuinely had no idea Peter Crisp is Irish!

I always imagined him as a stereotypical polite English gentleman sort.

I've just realised all these​ years I've based his persona on his avatar.

Edit - I've just re-read the thread and can see it's a windup
