Snowmagedagain

minikin

Out getting supplies for snowmageddon at the moment - people (not me) are starting to panic buy here, lidl shelves were getting stripped of water, milk, ping pong balls, crochet sets and digital micrometers.

Is this the end, my friend?

You’re missing the point. Maybe deliberately. I will cut you some slack. If the govt are making it their business to declare nation wide curfews then 1-it better be appropriate to extend it nationwide and 2-it better be extreme weather.

The time of 4pm seems to have been far too early as the storm is only just arriving now

I'll take all the slack going. But I'm not missing the overall point. The state have limited resources and tools to deal with what's happening. And we are much better minimising the potential risk and stretching of emergency resources by asking people to keep in unless urgent.

There's people all over acting on decisions that don't really make much sense to anyone other than themselves.

I haven't seen much of anything like this before when I could reflect on it critically and there's a few things I'm taking from it. We can't be expectant that the state or local authorities hold responsibility for dealing with the outcomes of this weather. And when it comes to it, we should be able to pick up our own shovel and help ourselves. (I don't currently have a shovel but up for bringing some levity to the situation going out with a bucket and spade)

Friends house today after the inevitable! I'd say worth it to play it safe ðŸ€”

I havent seen anyone blaming Leo, sure he doesnt make the weather.

They never said it would snow at 4pm.

Yet they demanded we all were to shelter indoors as if it was nuclear fallout.

What a shower of plonkers they are. Egged on by the drama queens of Ireland.

Did you not caress his balls to get the blood flow going?

Leo said if you are not indoors by 4, you'll probably die.

Lots of family time today. Some TV with Mrs Storker this evening, then re-fighting the Battle of Elchingen on the PC. And some wine.

No it's worth saving the life of some kid out in the snow that gets run over by some dickhead in an ill prepared car going out to buy some fags.

Your reasoning could be used to curtail many activities that are now considered normal on the basis that they could potentially cause a risk of injury somewhere. It is why children are no longer allowed to walk to school or play in playgrounds. Risk is a part of life and if you spend your days afraid of everything you are not living fully in my opinion..

If your neighbour went out for a walk in the Serengeti in a suit made from rashers and sausages to give two fingers up to the authority would you say "fair play mate"?

Advised, and rightly so too.

What would you advise, stay out as long as you want and have people driving on the roads putting rescue services at risk?

I'll stick to the official advice thank you rather than your keyboard warrior nonsense.

Slippery slope argument eh?

The biggest danger is people going home from the pub who might fall asleep. They would never wake up.

I prob would. His own business. I salute all the outdoor swimmers today who enjoyed the conditions regardless of whatever “advice” varadkar tried to peddle

RTE have been an embarrassment over this. Have the feeling if this wasn't effecting Dublin we'd be hearing pretty much nothing.

hmmm... Have you swam in a river in February in Ireland and enjoyed the conditions? I'm beginning to think you're just making stuff up now.

No, haven't had a cigar in years. Just cigarettes these days, but I don't smoke in the house. Damned cold outside though.

You said you're neighbour swam in a river today and enjoyed the conditions.

I don't believe your neighbour swam in the river.

If he/she did, I doubt they enjoyed the conditions unless your neighbour is an otter or a mink.

Assumed on the basis that your username is Samuel. Don't know too many females of that name.
