Received this email from Hassle.com today:
“How did you spend your St Patrick’s Day? It’s been a couple of days since St Patrick’s Day but we hope you celebrated in style (and you’ve now recovered from your hangover!). Was it one to remember? Did you take in the parade in true style? Did your night end up in Abrakebabra? These are the *really* important questions. See if we can guess how you spent your St Patrick’s Day!”
And a link to take their quiz (why?)
Nice bit of racist stereotyping. The intention is to build a loyal relationship with customers?

I know it’s a bit late for this what with St Patrick’s Day being yesterday but a friend of mine, Philip Kennedy is an illustrator based in London and made this illustrated parade of great Irish figures to mark the day yesterday and thought your readers might like it.
Name those marchers anyone?

A parade not too dissimilar to the ones I remember as a kid out West :)
It drags a little at the end though, in fairness.
Meanwhile…
