Barry,
I'm sitting in Chicago now. St Pats is a big party here, but I'd very much rather be on your cruise. It sounds great. I'll try to book one next time I'm there. As an aside, we are experiencing bizarre weather here. Normally still cold and damp, we are in the middle of a beautiful heat wave. Around 80 (27C) so I don't miss Thailand as much as nomal this time of year.

Who knows which is the Irish and which is the Scottish? Quite easy really. If I say though that I think the pipes originated in Ireland, I would probably be stoned. Nevertheless, Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone. Pete

The bartender finally said that the bar was closing.
So the Irishman stood up to leave and fell flat on his face. He tried to stand one more time; same result. He figured he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up. Once outside he stood up and fell flat on his face. So he decided to crawl the 4 blocks to his home.
When he arrived at the door he stood up and again fell flat on his face. He crawled through the door and into his bedroom. When he reached his bed he tried one more time to stand up.
This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell right into bed and was sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He was awakened the next morning to his wife standing over him, shouting,
"So, you've been out drinking again!"
"What makes you say that?" he asked, putting on an innocent look.
"The pub called -- you left your wheelchair there again."

Rest assured Pete, if I had a stone I would probably stone you!
Nevertheless, Happy St Patrick's Day to one and all.

Is O'Neills still open (under that name)? I read here somewhere that it changed hands and had a major remodel recently opening it up, so was wondering if it kept the name and the "Irish pub" identity.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
