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:

    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!

      I do not think that will happen.

      Clever content creator though

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