Kinda need her to catch the virus. Not die from it, just get very very sick.

As much as I dislike her, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

To her it would just be an attempt by the "new world order" to silence her, she has compared herself to Veronica Guerin recently and said that it is a risk she is willing to take.

She also justifies exposing herself to wifi etc as a necessary risk of her career as a "journalist".

So does she believe all those who have died, and their families, are in on it? Odd woman.....

My father couldn't even switch on a computer but he was a kind gentle quiet man who died a year ago in a horrific accident.

Id rather you didnt mock him.

I clearly wasn't mocking him.

But my condolences on your loss.

that's exactly it, just get a good dose of it to feel it and be bed ridden for a week or two.

In normal situations that would be a low blow and a sign we have no come back to her crap, but in this case there's nothing wrong with wishing a good dose of covid but not fatal.

Ok

With family you never know with people they can be dead cripped dying etc so aim your ire at the man not the mans family.

Well many IT companies have stopped projects and I assumed they are closed may not be and still doing IT maintenance remotely.

Dont think Gemma be as naive or foolish as Veronica.

As in cant Imagine Gemma knocking on a unhinged major drug dealers front door looking for him to incriminate himself with a recording device. Thats not good journalism thats just foolish beyond belief.

There is ways and means of going about things.

TaurenDruid

How about knocking on the door of the Garda Commissioner at 10pm at night, looking for him to incriminate himself with a recording device? Thats not good journalism thats just foolish beyond belief.

Calling a murdered journalist naive and foolish is ok?

she hasn't been active on the auld twitter machine in the last day or so - you'd think she'd be lapping up all the attention she is seeking ... or have twitter dropped the ban hammer on her 'second' account?

Is the Easter Bunny common in Ireland now? When I was a kid only Americans did the Easter Bunny.

The tradition comes from Germany so fairly sure it wasn't just Americans.

What companies have cancelled projects and what projects because of covid and are just doing remote maintenance?

The ones I know are still working on projects and not just remote maintenance.

i'm in IT and we are extremely busy - some projects have been paused, some have been ramped up to take advantage of spare capacity and day to day the support of remote working and cloud migrations are keeping everyone really busy.

As a company we were already almost 80% fully remote before this kicked off so in reality nothing changed the way we work

Yep same here. Just wondering what companies the poster claims to know of that have cancelled projects and are just doing remote maintenance.

I don't remember the easter bunny or egg hunts ever being part of Easter growing up in the 60's and 70's, when we were given the eggs we knew they were from our parents, aunts, uncles etc. There was nothing mysterious about it.
I suspect like many things from the bastardisation of Halloween to mayonnaise instead of salad cream it was an American import that started in the 70s or 80's.

I was born in the early 80s and remember the easter bunny, no egg hunts though

As Bill Hicks said:

"I was over in Australia recently and its interesting to note they celebrate Easter the same way we do; commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night".

Banhammer lifted on her main account, she only uses the ACI one when she's banned.

Well apparently pumkin carving in the states came from Irish immigrants. The only person I knew in Ireland in the late 80s with pumpkins was a Belgian farmer who emigrated over here after getting married. Must have made a few quid out of them as he did them every year.
Never ate them but they were great fun to use as targets with a shotgun.

Mayonnaise originated in France or Spain, with Hellmans being created in the states by a German immigrant.
.
The changing food and practices would be more from Europe that the states imo
