I am irish, and its very major here anyway.
No, don't you see? This person knows better than your lived experience. /s
Of course it is, they're out enjoying the holiday
Everyone is out drinking and hopefully having a good time. Let them disconnect for a bit and be social.
Indeed.
Difficult to thumb type when both hands are holding a pint.
Use T9. lol
With what? His knob? Pal's just said they've got a pint in each hand!
Huh. Must have misread that.
That's fair, hard to read a Lemmy post with your phone balanced on your knob while guzzling a double fistful of pint ;)
Wasn’t it yesterday there already? I still find the international dateline confusing 🫤 
no idea where in the world you are but you posted this at a time when it was slightly past 5 pm on St. Patrick's Day (2025-03-17) in the Irish time zone, so no
I was momentarily so certain! 😌
To be fair, it's been yesterday everywhere already
Its the 17th of march here in Ireland:
Thanks. I’ve suspected my only Irish friend has been messing with me for the last 20 years. This was the proof I needed ;-)
Haha yeah they'll do that
Still on depression for losing the 6 Nations
