The Irish are famous for many things and just in case anyone steps on your foot during St Patrick's Day celebrations, I thought a few of their famous curses may come in handy.
May you be afflicted with the itch and have no nails to scratch it with.
Lord, confound this surly sister,
Blight her brow with blotch and blister,
Cramp her larynx, lung and liver,
In her guts a galling give her.
No butter be on your milk nor on your ducks a web. May your cow be flayed. And may the flame be bigger and wider which will go through your soul than the Connemara mountains, if they were on fire.
