St Patricks day is nearly here!
filed in Gossip, Site on Feb.29, 2008
It’s that time of year that some would say is as much fun as Christmas, when everyone goes Irish for one weekend in the pub. We’ve brought out a whole host of funny St Patricks day t-shirts for just that purpose..if you order before 12pm we will dispatch your Paddy’s Day t-shirt the same day! All our tees are made by our leprechaun crew in our t-shirt shack in Ireland.
Heres a few interesting St Pat’s day facts while you decide which one of our fine shirts to get for the big day.
1. St. Patrick was not actually Irish! He was born in Britain where he was taken as a slave to Ireland by a marauder called Niall of the Nine hostages.
2. On March 17th it is usually said that there are two types of people in this world-
the Irish and people who want to be Irish. Well, there is no better way to describe St.
Patrick’s Day than “Everybody is Irish.”
3. It’s the done thing to ‘go green’ on St. Patrick’s Day. But in Ireland traditionally the color
was long considered to be unlucky.
Go as subtle or as wild as you like. T-shirts are of course the finest article of clothing to wear proudly!
4. Almost unbelievable today but by law, pubs in Ireland were closed on St. Patrick’s Day as offically it is a religious holiday,
but this law was relaxed in the 1970’s.
5. To truly celebrate St. Patrick’s Day raise your pint and wish your drinking buddies
“Slainté!”(pronounced SLAN-cha) which means “health!”
6. Guinness, first brewed in Dublin in 1759 is the unoffical drink of St Patricks day
and 1.9 billion pints are downed around the world every year!
7. Guiness saves lives - Offical! If people try and tell you that you have had one too many pints of the black stuff on St Patricks day,
tell them this little gem;
At a meeting of the American Heart Association in Florida researchers
reported that Guinness is effective in reducing the blood clots that cause heart attacks.
Have a cheeky, happy and merry St Patricks day with our selection of St Paddys day t-shirts!
