Paddy's day is associated with the country of Ireland of course, where I spend a wonderful year working back in 2001.
The day is also very much associated with partying and lots of drinking!
Unfortunately, the whole occasion seems to have been hijacked by Guinness, who seem to have adopted the day as a huge marketing opportunity. I expect as the day wears on St. Patrick will be all but forgotten by revellers drinking in the pubs around the world.
As for me, I've been a "quiet man" today and have marked the day by reading about St. Patrick on Wikipedia with a cup of tea!
