I still don’t get it. I’m just going to keep zapping what I like and value…. can’t be playing games or jumping around like an excited child. I was thinking about taking a break if I’m honest.

Those breaks are important. I'm getting away in a week or two later this month. I always like to get away for St Patrick's Day to avoid the drunk lunatics. Wait, is that racist? You don't need to be Irish to act like a moron in these parts on St Patrick's Day.

Run away from the Guinness drunks! That could be considered cultural appropriation… but it’s just an excuse for a drink and singing anti-British songs.

It's probably still a real holiday in Great Britain. Not here.

It’s a real holiday in Ireland. Great Britain ended its colonial occupation and rule of Ireland in 1921. There is a certain awkwardness, and racism, around that settlement with regards to Northern Ireland (which remains part of the United Kingdom) which means St Patrick’s day is largely ignored in Britain.

It always amuses me seeing how popular it is in the U.S. and other parts of the world and yet not in the U.K. Hadn’t really considered the reasons until you mentioned it.

The only way a US white male can feel part of an oppressed minority is as an Irish descendent perhaps… and New York and Chicago uniform services were full of Irish migrants originally. The Uk is just ‘complicated’
