Splendid Similes 7

As Irish as Paddy's Pig

Seems like I've grown rather fond of piggy similes. Happy St. Paddy's Day to you all! How are you celebrating? Are you feeling as Irish as Paddy's pig? If you're not, then it probably doesn't matter, because Paddy is said to have come from Northern England anyway - but perhaps he got the pig after he'd come to Ireland :) As for myself, I have spent my St. Paddy's Day studying for Practical English, hurrah! But even if you haven't had any whiskey, any Guinness, any green clothes - you can still save the day with Irish Hair! :)

Not true, not true, not true! Mr. G did not have hair like this, remember? :D But oh yes, Dylan, that's the way how to celebrate St. Paddy's! Well, the thing is that St. Patrick, or rather Succat, was actually a nobleman from the Brittish province of the Roman Empire and his way to being a patron of Ireland was actually pretty amazing and it was only late in his life when he really settled there (after he kicked out all the snakes from there, of course). Hopefully I'll add a review on his biography like ... during the reading week, because it a wonderful piece of reading! :-)
