How will you party/celebrate when this crisis is all over?

A trip abroad? An expensive meal? A pampering in a plush hotel? A pub crawl?

I will get to sit close to my elderly mum again , that will be nice

Sexual Chocolate · 23-03-2020 10:42pm

Straight to the pub defiantly. And a couple of nights down the country somewhere on a pub crawl. I've only drank once the past month

Maybe a brazzer as well :pac:

fryup · 23-03-2020 10:43pm

i think we should have one big ticker tape parade in every major town...but instead of using ticker tape we can use all the disused loo roll

Stacksofwacks · 23-03-2020 10:43pm

Good thing is when it is over a lot of people will have money saved from not going to the pub. I can see some serious sessions breaking out.

Seve OB · 23-03-2020 10:44pm

BBQ.
Get the mates over.
Few boxes of Corona:D

osarusan · 23-03-2020 10:44pm

Take my kids to see their grandmother (I hope)....more of a treat for her than them really, it's been so tough for her not to see them and it's all just starting.

dobman88 · 23-03-2020 10:46pm

Head to the Gravediggers in Glasnvein and drink Guinness until I'm full up.

Eric Cartman · 23-03-2020 10:53pm

grogans the minute it re opens, mount myself to a stool at the bar and live off Guinness and toasties until I'm no longer allowed to be there, repeat the next day at the blue light, and my local day 3.

wakka12 · 23-03-2020 10:53pm

I'd like to go on a trip to Italy and hopefully try to contribute to their economic renewal after this

Same. I have friends in Milano, Piedmont, and Bologna and I’m going to visit them and kiss and hug them and eat all the food and drink all the wine and spritzs.

Granadino · 23-03-2020 10:55pm

Back to Spain for me as soon as I can. I won't be going on the beer to "celebrate". Celebrate what? I don't drink anyhow, maybe once or twice a year, so don't miss the booze. I suppose being able to get out and be social again will be the key thing, but I won't be "celebrating" anything.

BuboBubo · 23-03-2020 10:56pm

I am going to give my beautiful Mammy the biggest hug.

bfa1509 · 23-03-2020 10:58pm

I can't wait to breathe down people's necks again queuing at the till or get on the bus with a giant chicken fillet role and shlobber all over the place.

Do you ever celebrate?

I think celebrating the survival ? Return to normal life, return to social interactions, and so much more is worth celebrating

You might think a bit closer to home in that regard, our own economy is going to be utterly destroyed also.

Cork_Langer1 · 23-03-2020 11:02pm

Cocaine, fcuking mountains of it.

landofthetree · 23-03-2020 11:02pm

Probably wont have a job.
Probably lose my house.

So I probably wont be partying.

I can’t wait too, to get in a bus, stick a chicken fillet roll in someone’s pocket, breathe on them and slobber at passers by... politely,of course.

Chalk McHugh · 23-03-2020 11:03pm

Dont think many will have any money or reason to celebrate anything whenever this killer disease has run out of road. This will leave a trail of destruction behind it. Many will lose loved ones. Jobs may be gone for good. I'm self employed and have no work and cant see it coming back. Its not like a war when a definitive outcome leads to an outbreak of joy when its over. This invisible enemy may be lurking around for years. How can you celebrate when you dont know if its defeated or gone. Apologies for not getting in the spirit of the OP and everyone means well but i cant see any reason to be celebrating anything for a long time to come.

Going to continue self isolating, it really has its perks

Your work will come back don't worry.

If you were in demand before this you will be more than ever after this.

Put it this way, if people don't celebrate, invest, decorate, holiday, build, theres absolutely no chance of your work returning. Consider that things are just paused and if we pull together we be optimistic and get everyone up and running again.

I have an 83 year old grandmother who would be above average risk, if we come out the other side of this, I'm ****ing celebrating.....

looksee · 23-03-2020 11:08pm

I doubt there will be a definite date on which it all stops, it will be stop/start, a bit at a time, drifting back to something resembling normal over time.

khalessi · 23-03-2020 11:09pm

Be able to be together as a family

cannotlogin · 23-03-2020 11:27pm

Straight down home to my parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunt's, uncles, cousins, etc.

Meet two new babies that friends have had in the last 10 days.

Hug them all to bits and spend time with them.

Intensive treatments with hairdresser and beautican to make me presentable again.

Party with friends, laugh, flirt, dance - I have visions of a beer garden party in the Summer Sun.

Finish the night off with a Supermacs.

Would love a good GAA match and a concert too.

Simple stuff but things that make you feel good.

What Username Guidelines · 23-03-2020 11:54pm

Over to the Ma’s for dinner with the whole family. Leave the kid there and head off to a hotel for a couple of nights after.

However, I did do a 10 month isolation stint before, after the kiddo had a transplant, so my wife and I have been through similar, albeit not as globally drastic. We used to dream about the things we’d do once restrictions were lifted. Restaurants, visitors, friends, playgrounds... Then, when the day came, we were both absolutely terrified. Took a good few months to get back into “real” life.

You do leave an experience like that with a new appreciation for the little things. It will be interesting to see how society as a whole reacts to it all, hopefully will have a very positive outcome for how we look at life, after what will likely be a very dark period.

UI_Paddy · 24-03-2020 9:24am

Hugs for all my loved ones, and maybe a few drinks in a couple places I've been meaning to check out for a while.

HartsHat · 24-03-2020 9:42am

If I'm alive, and none of my close relatives or friends (or their close relatives) have died, which is a pretty big if, have them over for drinks.

Thelonious Monk · 24-03-2020 9:47am

Go somewhere warm but id say the airline industry is finished after this and will take years to bounce back.
Rest of our lives will probably be soviet style placements working on farms and in factories with a 4 day holiday in a tower block in Courtown once a year if we are lucky.

super_furry · 24-03-2020 9:48am

Send the kids to creche and sleep. Go out for lunch with my wife, go to the cinema, few scoops.

Get surgery on my sinuses that was cancelled two hours before it was due to happen ten days ago.

Sorry to hear this.
You ain’t alone.
Celebrating won’t be on many minds in the real world after this for a long time.

24-03-2020 2:28pm

If I keep my job throughout, I'll pay off all my overdraft finally

24-03-2020 2:29pm

I'll visit my Dad hopefully.

Yes, realisiticallly we are 18 months from a vaccine.
If the current measures prove "successful" we'll likely see the flattened curve being 500/700 new cases per day until such a time as the physical distancing and isolation of the positive cases results in a drop.
It's then a somewhat back to normal scenario until cases rise again........ rinse and repeat that cycle for x amount of times.
Elderly and immuno compromised etc being cocooned as much as possible.

The estimated 1% motality rate is frightening in the context of for every 500 new cases (4500 being tested daily from now) there's potentially going to be 5 deaths.

Ronan|Raven · 24-03-2020 2:38pm

Drive west and hope I will have parents to hug.

Gods Gift · 24-03-2020 2:44pm

Up end a lad that’s been annoying me with a box.

c68zapdsm5i1ru · 24-03-2020 2:45pm

Go back to socialising with my friends, having family over for dinner, wandering casually down to the shops without worrying about keeping away from people, taking weekend trips down the country. All the things I was taking for granted a couple of weeks ago will feel like a huge treat when things start to return to some semblance of normality.
