    Saw someone on the news telling the nation she has enough fresh knickers now to do her for the next few weeks. Morto like

    Maybe she had a side business selling the used ones? A good bit of advertising for her by the sound of things.

    Take an employment survey of those queuing outside pennies and you may find the stats one sided. Nobody holding down a job will queue from 3am, 5am or even 7am for pennys.

    I heard an interview this morning and she queued from 5am for " PJs and eyelashes" both items readily available elsewhere.

    Aah, disappointing.

    I was wondering what they were q-ing for.

    Sure it's only working class inbreds that shop in Penney's spending their dole money or children's allowance- let them at it.

    How does one be working class and on the dole?

    When you form part of a particular socio economic grouping and also unemployed. There is no paradox.

    I think the world is just mad right now. People eating bats a million miles away effectively shutting the down the world, cancelling all sorts of shows/movies on the off chance it offends people, queuing for knickers 7 hours before a shop opens. It's mad. I'm going to bed and setting my alarm for June 12th 2050. See ye later lads.

    don't forget the hosepipe ban.
    Pl$$ed so heavily yesterday all hosepipes were swept away

    I find it a bit sad. People queuing for hours for something they will dump in a month. I don't care if people queue for hours but choice of the shop just tells you how much will be dumped soon.

    It’s far more expensive though. Dunnes can be a bit notioney that way. Same quality clothes as Penneys but with a M&S price tag

    Actually come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever bought one item of clothes in Dunnes in my whole life apart from nightwear. I don’t know who they market to but it ain’t me.

    Love their home wear though.

    How sad and empty are some peoples lives where they run into a queue for Pennies? Seriously. Do they have anything better to do aside from queuing early?

    For anyone desperate enough for clothes, the English company ASDA is online and they have a clothing range called George and they deliver direct to Ireland too. Their clothes is like dunnes quality but pennies prices.

    In fairness there's people who may have young children and the clothes they had at the beginning of the lockdown no longer fit. The options to buy clothes during lockdown were online or in Dunnes or Tesco, and I don't know if the shops were giving people access to clothing departments.

    People need clothes. Cheap clothes.

    Dunnes clothes is much better than Pennies. Pennies clothes fall apart after 2 washes.

    No they don’t. Penneys quality is grand. Not amazing but you get what you pay for. I’ve yet to have any item fall apart on me let alone after two washes. People always say this and for the most part it’s completely untrue

    I was shopping on a budget a few years ago before a holiday and I needed some new clothes. I went to Pennies and I was delighted because I got 8 pants for 40 euro. They were the baggy type of joggers/leggings type of pants. I swear, I didn't even get the summer out of them and they started ripping at the seams down the legs. Then I remembered why I never shop in Pennies. The clothes are sh1te. I

    The amount of judgment going on for people queuing to get into various shops (IKEA, McDonalds, etc.) is ridiculous, very sad. Let people queue if they want. Once it is done safely, then let them off.

    They can queue if they want but if your standing behind a long queue for non essential items your a gobsh*te. People are allowed voice their opinion.

    The funny thing is that most if not all you seen queuing up were the ones out and about when they were asked to stay at home.....

    No cure for stupid.


    Seriously if something opens after the time they were closed leave it for a few days, don't rush and then all on top of each other....

    These are the morons that will pass the disease on to family and other elderly people they come in contact with.... Nothing has changed nothing at all, the virus is still here and it's imo quite likely to come back hard.

    Well lookit you aren't the only one but why be so disparaging towards people who want to queue?

    I find it really interesting how people get all worked up about something that really doesn't affect them. There is definitely an air of smugness here. Perhaps it's to compensate for feeling like their own lives aren't any great shakes so being judgemental makes them feel better. I don't know.

    As for Penneys being rubbish and throw away? I have pjs and jumpers from there that are years old. My wardrobe is a mix of expensive and very cheap. No problem with Penneys clothes.
