    At 8 AM tomorrow they'll be a sleepy riot at the doors of supermarkets across the land.

    Same here. You would swear it was Christmas or something absolutely crazy. There was even a woman wearing a mask in the shop.

    Perhaps that is why the shops are all sold out of tissue paper. Everyone is locked up at home pulling themselves asunder. With ever increasing vigor with each day that passes.

    I'll probably crack open the head of some toilet paper-crazed zombie and feast on the goo inside.

    Bloke in front of me had two trolleys of food, including 20 carrot cakes. I'm trying to get my head around how long it takes to go through 20 carrot cakes, even in a place that likes them.

    On people buying stupid stuff I heard of a friend of a friend that went in and seen the panic buying, he randomly picked up a load of bleach and bought it. When he got home he was like, the fuq did I just do!?!?

    First they came for the socialists...

    I wonder do these crowds of cretins have the tiniest glimmer of brainpower to consider that by piling into shops en masse queueing arse to tit with other mouthbreathers that they've massively increased their chances of exposure to this virus? I'd bet the farm that in a few supermarkets around the country infected and contagious individuals have been in this melee and have infected others.
    It is amazing to witness the stupidity of people Wibbs. Crowds of people squashed indoors together is exactly what we are being told NOT to do. It's unreal.

    Best bet is to hit the small spars, centras, butchers and fruit / veg shops if you can / need.

    Yeah, all kidding aside I have meat/fish/chicken in the freezer, fresh bread for a couple of days and sufficient other basics and not-quite-as-basics. I don't intend to go within 500 yards of a feckin' supermarket until possibly Sunday afternoon. :pac:

    Was just in Aldi, Roscommon. no trolleys, all 6 tills open and queues to the back of the shop at every one of them, that many people that is would be hard to get out of there without joining a queue, anyway I was only able to buy 25 bottles of the brown bear ipa (99c), couldn't carry anymore, think I will head back in just before closing and stock up on the essentials (Guinness & Bud) 20 euro a slab :D, one woman was buying a half a trolley of vinegar :confused::confused:

    You always see these episodes of South Park and the likes where there's idiotic mass hysteria, with people darting around, panic buying etc.

    And you just laugh, cause it's ridiculous and you think, 'ah well that wouldn't happen in real life'.......fast forward to today!
