Hoopla - They turned Darling Harbour into a Circus, some 'unique' acts to say the least. Including a slightly cringe worthy act called 'The Naked Chef' that sported jokes that would fit well in a 'carry on' film!
The second part to St Patricks Day or 'The Official Day' in Australia took place on the Sunday, the parade was on in the morning and it was all good, no problem getting a good view.
The parade 'afters' took place in Hyde Park and it had a whole host of bars, music and various Irish stalls. It was a pretty well organised event and I was picked out of the crowd several times by people I know back in Ireland! We had an old asian woman beside us join in the festivities and do a jig!
Some eejit at the end climbed onto the roof of the stage and decided to do a strip, I wonder what happened to him? The police didn't look too impressed!
It's been so long since I had a decent Guinness I thought I was hallucinating!
