Beware
the second day after the Ides of March.
It’s the
day people all over the world queue up at Irish themed pubs for green beer – a silly
thing to do really, considering it takes four days to properly pour one pint of
Guinness and, served the right colour in sufficient quantities it can turn
any dedicated drinker green without the artificial colouring.
As I live
in a nanny-state where it is illegal to be offensive about someone’s background
or heritage, I shall avoid providing any hackneyed Irish jokes, though one
might prove the Irish do have a sense of humour by acknowledging that “Large-Lad”
is reportedly slang for a penis. Or maybe it's not a joke.

These
lasses are practising the curtsy approved for females meeting her Maj the
British Queen. Only a hop skip and a jump from a Michael Flatley audition,
really.
