Yeah. Funny...but tiresome having to continually defend myself over things I didn't actually say.

Yeah but like you did kinda attempt to reduce the effects of restrictions because you could travel up north and to the UK for gigs etc.

I mean I read those posts myself. I'm not misremembering.

That's prob stuck with people.

Serious whiff of a cock festival in that nightclub queue.

My memory of all night clubs is that they were never any different..

Yeah that happened a lot. Why wouldn't I take advantage of my geographical location? Is the reaction to that jealousy, maybe? It doesn't take away from the fact that I've been misrepresented loads of times.

So hang on a sec here, you say in your post that you "defended the rules" but you haven't followed them. Am I reading that correctly? Because if I am that smacks of hypocrisy.

He tweeted about South William Street, the next day riot police were there, battering people. It created a feeling of "well **** that then, we're gonna get take away pints there and not let them dictate to us" and it caused anger and it allowed proper trouble makers to visit the area and they still haven't been eradicated since then...That all came from his tweet

That's not advice to Government

What I actually said was, "Quite often, I would've defended the rules and why they were in place..." That's 'quite often'...not all the time for all the rules. Did you miss the example above where I mentioned the poster who wouldn't travel another km or two to get to the beach? There's absolutely nothing hypocritical in that.

What's your point?

MOR316

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118402933#Comment_118402933

Is that a serious question? Tweeting about people gathering on South William Street is not advice to Government...

I mean, it's a factual statement...Why you're questioning it is beyond me

Sorry, what? I must be missing something. What am I questioning now?

You asked what my point was...My post said tweeting about it wasn't advice to Government...A factual statement.

I can't understand how anyone can question that...

Who's questioning it?

So if someone has a job they can't do anything other than what the job entails, including having a twitter account?

The government are in charge.

Yeah...Because I see my doctor tweeting about how vulgar it is for people to gather on a street. After all, that's what they're thought to do, isn't it? That's the CMO's first objective, isn't it? Get a grip ffs!

"The Government are in charge" You realise people are actively avoiding their families because of Tony Holohan? "****, I've got a runny nose! I better have a **** Christmas and avoid my family"

And before you even start, yes what I said above is factual! It's not me "belittling" any virus. That's exactly what has happened with people I know.

But, I'm sure you'll twist whatever I say and turn it into whatever suits your agenda, just like you did your original post...

Deny it all you want but, it's you who'll lose your job and be taxed to the bollocks when this is over, not me! Be it on your head, pal

I second your sentiments, I'd say most people do. The day we attack the cmo because of his dead wife is the day we can no longer attack him for his lockdown suggestions and subsequently the day the battle against him is lost

I've no idea what your ranting about. Maybe you've mixed me up with someone.

Have a nice night.

Easily over 55,000 at Arsenal v Man City earlier today. Interesting observation about it (was at Arsenal last month), plenty of empty seats from fans who have decided to stay away. There are no reports of games in England causing any outbreaks of this relatively mild flu for most, and this was actually established in Denmark during the early summer.

So in England we have people getting on with living and those who feel they shouldn’t go to crowded outdoor spaces choosing not to.

Can't argue with any of that. Here under Hoolohan’s Regime of Fear, Lansdowne and Croker can currently have no more than 5,000 fans.

People being denied their freedom to live and enjoy their lives for absolutely no scientific reason.

And this all has to be paid for.

The taxpayer either ponies up the difference or sports organisations gave less to invest in communities.

And that’s before we even touch on the shattered hospitality sector.

Main problem NPHET have now though is so many people have had Covid in the last couple of weeks that the mystery is gone. And with that the fear evaporates.

What will they do when other countries stop indulging in the pointless exercise of counting cases?

It seems that way! The last paragraph was classy too.

I know this post is in response to someone else but...

Right...the Chief Medical Officer, in the middle of a pandemic, which is a virus passed from person to person when in close contact with other people, advises people not to be in close contact with other people to avoid the spread of the virus...and you think he's wrong to do so? What planet are you on?!

No idea what the last paragraph has got to do with anything. (How can someone be taxed to the bollocks if they've lost their job?)

That quote in inverted commas bears absolutely no relation whatsoever to the one you quoted. The balls on you trying to spin it to suit though.

I hate to say it but seeing the UK just living their lives and getting on with things makes me so envious

Not all of the UK - just England. I have some very pissed off relatives in Scotland and Wales.

I suppose there could be a silver lining, if it ends up contributing to sending Drakeford and Sturgeon to the dole queue, though!

Do your own research is now being labelled as dangerous and those who say it being labelled enemies of the state

You must believe the experts and the science as they are never wrong

Same logic is why we have covid in the first place, scientists playing God

Sister lives over in London working in a number of NHS hospitals.. she can't understand the mania that exists here. All we can talk/argue about she says. A nation totally consumed by it.

Been over a couple of times to visit her. It's a different world. Longer this goes on, the more attractive a move to England gets for us .
