Why do people buy bread????.
Crappest food in a crisis scenario. White bread has little to no nutrional value and doesnt last. Week tops.
Insane to bulk buy it. Pure crap.
Are people that ignorant??

Why not stock up with tinned tuna and tinned fruit?. Good for you and lasts years. Doesnt taste half bad either.

True. I went straight for the Gin and ice. Thankfully, there was f**king loads and on special offer too.

Beans on toasted tuna is why.

Anyway, how many years are you expecting this few days of snow to last?

Could ask you then why bulk buy white bread if we know its only few days?. Its them buying the crap that seem to think it will end up a "The Road" type scenario. If so buy decent food that will last.
White bread?. Its basically as nutritional as cardboard, tasteless and rots quickly.

If all the bread that is normally bought monday to saturday is bought monday to wednesday we will have empty shelves.. doesnt have to be bulk buying, just a rush.
Not sure about tomorrow but there will be no fresh bread in friday in red alert zones.

So thats how tuna is different to bread as shops get daily deliveries if bread to meet that days need. They should have enough tuna to meet one weeks demand.

Plus toast is a great delivery vehicle for all the other stuff in the cupboard.

But tuna makes sense or tinned salmon as the storm may take out power, water and you dont need to cook it.

With the weather as cold as feck what are your opinions on a lad wearing a balaclava to keep the face warm and dat? I don't mean walking in to a bank or shopping centre, just making your way from A to B and taking it off when you arrive. Good idea or bad? Any law against it?

Jim Bob Scratcher · 28-02-2018 11:31PM

Long as it's not in Nor Iron

The Backwards Man · 28-02-2018 11:31PM

Better eating than wearing

odyssey06 · 28-02-2018 11:31PM

Im afraid you are only allowed one of the following at the same time:
balaclava
ak47
Beard
Tricolour

Tin Foil Hat · 28-02-2018 11:32PM

Just don't carry a long, narrow carrier bag.

Akrasia · 28-02-2018 11:32PM

if there ever was a time to wear one, it's when you're outside in the snow. And seeing as the gardai are all busy directing traffic, you might as well grab that 70 inch UHD tv on your way home

There are different types of balaclavas. The ones with holes for two eyes are absolutely a no no.
The ones that tend to show the eyes, middle/top of the nose and part of the eyebrows are fine.

There are lots of neck wraps that are made of thin material that i often seen people pull up over their mouths/nose. They are VERY non threatening because they are so easily pulled down, and fashionable looking rather than to conceal an identity.

Outside, if it's blowing hard and there aren't many people around, I don't see a problem. It's no worse than a biker wearing a full face helmet: you always take it off when going indoors.

buried · 28-02-2018 11:35PM

If I'm going outside I'm looking forward to getting me face a nice blast of cold. If you don't want a bit of cold on your face you probably should just stay indoors.

The one I have is more like this so not exactly fancy material...

It's fine until it's about 3-5 degrees below, then your face begins to really feel it.

bottlebrush · 28-02-2018 11:37PM

you can wear it into a bank but there's no need to say 'freeze'. . .

DelaneyO · 28-02-2018 11:38PM

Our desert friends can wear similar in the name of religion, no reason why we can't.

Low effort post.

There's a readily available trope native to this island, just FYI.

That's exactly the type of action my face is after AD. I'm all set to head out in this -10 $hit for a nice freezing walk. Although, If I was to stick on a balaclava and then be seen by the locals traipsing the byroads I might not make it back either!

The only offence you’d cause is using ‘dat’.

Not much snow where I am right now and reading the posts in the weather forum you'd think people are buried under feet of it in other parts of the country. Then they post a picture and it's pretty tame looking.

Growing up in the southeast I recall plenty of snow events with as much or more accumulations.

If the next 48 hours bring genuinely serious accumulations these people who are currently over exaggerating will die of shock.

Could ye get over the whole bread thing

The majority of people around here would buy fresh bread and milk daily. With the bad weather and forecasts many have opted to buy what they usually do plus sone extra in case the roads are bad and it means they do not have to go out if needs be. Remember bread will freeze quite well. So it's possible people are bunging it in their freezer.

I'm not a fan of white bread either but I presume many are buying wholemeal brown etc etc as well. Not really as big a deal as its made out to be tbh...

There is a lot in some places, over a foot. I'm working from home tomorrow and friday.

I hear that you have to bring a shovel to the welfare office to collect the dole early.
Wouldn't that be great.

People collecting the dole wouldn't know how to use a shovel :pac:

I wanted to nip out tomorrow to Goodwin's or Chadwick's and buy a length of skirting to finish off a little DIY job, but Leo is telling us to stay put.

I have no bread in the house, but I can bake, dammit! I also have enough booze - no exxageration - to last well into the next decade.
