It’s St Patrick’s Day! For those of you of Irish descent, it means something about snakes and stuff. For those of you who aren’t remotely Irish, it means drinking beer, drinking some more beer, and finishing it off with more beer. Some of it green, sometimes. What better way to celebrate St Paddies than with the most Irish of meal: a single, boiled potato. I kid, I kid.
No, for today, we have a rustic, rich and delicious Beef and Guinness stew, served with champ; mashed potatoes and chopped scallions with butter and milk. Yum! As usual, we’ve had a bit of fun injecting a bit of Oirish flair in to our header images today. Did you spot ‘em all?
Here they are:
A sneaky little clover from Zoe
Another clover, from Zoe
A Patrick Badge from Darryn
A clover in a the 3DS menu from Geoff
Sub Zero has a clover in his face, from Geoff
Numerous little clovers, from Geoff
Apparently The Guinness Harp, from Zoe. We’ve taken away her Photoshop.
The Whole Thing is green, from Darryn
LEGO Patrick, from Darryn
Background movie poster change to poster from 1993 shlock horror Leprechaun
A not-so-subtly-hidden pint of Guinness from Zoe
While many saw the Guinness sign, nobody saw the hidden Patrick from Darryn
Replaced in-game poster with real-life poster, from Geoff.

missed two. I think Matty photo shopped the three green clovers. Looks suspiciously like cabbage. Well done sirs. Your skills are ever increasing with these headers. If Darryn didn’t post the obvious Patrick one on the Shadowrun Article I’d probably would have missed them all. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

My name is Welsh…. It’s close enough for me to pretend I have Irish blood right? *RUNS*

I also have a Welsh name… but I’m part Scottish, so I’ll still drink like an Irishman…. *cough*betterthanone*cough*
