A good colleague and friend of mine at the OECD (who in fact hired me!) is from Ireland, but has lived in Paris for the past 30 years or so. On St. Patrick's Day, she invited a few of us to the Irish Cultural Center in Paris for a bit of live music and Guinness. It was immediately clear we were in the right place. The place was packed, and the music turned out to be an eclectic mix of traditional Irish music and rock.
The Irish dudes in the band tried to speak French most of the evening with varying degrees of success, which just felt wrong. I mean, on St Patrick's day at the Irish Center, can't we at least hear your lovely Irish accents? Trust me, I doubt the French understand a word of what you're saying ;)
