Do you guys still get your bank holiday despite it not being St. Patrick's day?
... It is Paddy's day. March 17th and all that.
It's Holy Week so you don't get any Saint's days. The RoE decided to move St Patrick's day back to Saturday though, which seems harsh. I'm just curious if you still get the day as I thought it was a holiday over there, or whether the day off had also moved to Saturday.

You do know that we're not controlled by the church anymore, right? We are allowed divorce and condoms now...
I've mentioned this before but there are 2 creationists in my improv group
they're both hilarious, likable, and intelligent
and they don't believe in evolution whaaaaaaaat
I like them anyway but still whaaaaat
New Scientist had some stats in a recent issue about the American attitude to evolution. It said that about 50% didn't believe in it, and that made me sad. It's just too high a number not to believe in the facts.

I'm fairly sure that Saint's days are still the domain of the church not the state.
No one thinks of it as a religious holiday anymore. If the Church said that it wasn't going ahead this year, everyone would still have a day off and no one would care.

I lauhged when a science teacher in my school called a religion teacher a "fucking gobshite" because she didn't believe in evolution.
Irish slur for a person who loudly extols the virtues of himself and will attempt to co-erce weaker people onto his side by collosaly ridiculing them as a punishment for not doing so.
"John, you're a gobshite. All your friends are little shits, and you are so fat and ugly, babies shit themselves when they see you. You will never grow beyond 5'6"

I had a roommate that was majoring in marine biology...and he was a creationist.......and didn't believe in evolution. It was mind boggling.
Yeah, everyone got the day off.... but I'm off nyway because of Easter school holidays.
Phew, I was worried that I sounded like a typical drunk Irishman.
This coming from you...
Ah, got it. There's no oil in Vietnam, right? :P
Actually....

Which explains many, many things, I know.
My spelling is shit. I need the spellchecker. I'm avoiding big words now.
