Come on, Paddy...

You don't want to be that person who appears online "this is Paddy. Paddy goes jogging during global pandemics when his country urges him not to. Paddy is a pr1ck. Don't be like Paddy."

It's been fine to jog 5 miles away for the last few weeks and it's fine to do it in every other country that is allowing exercise. It's a stupid nonsensical restriction

I work for a company that provide products to shops. Am I essential? Who knows

I think he mentioned compassionate grounds.

Some questions:
- If you work in a non-essential non-retail service are you still allowed travel to your office/work?
- The official announcement states that there are additional shop closures. Which shops have been added to the list?

Thanks.

Those bits. So, no.

Paddy likes to know the story.

This Paddy likes to make up his own.

Covid19 and Stupidity

Hopefully we can flatten the curve of stupidity because some of these posts are painful to read. People are going to die and elderly are really nervous can we just cut the stupid posts please.

I keep thinking that I may have seen my parents IRL for the last time

Same. Mine are locked down in Spain. I keep my mind distracted during the day but at night in bed I keep thinking they might never come home, might never get to hold the little girl I am due to give birth to shortly. Keep thinking about all that was said during our last fight. Because, basically people are inherently selfish and won't abide by simple instructions that most 5 year olds would comprehend.

That's really annoying though and ridiculous. How are they possibly gonna enforce it: stop people in the middle of a jog and ask them how far away they live?
I'm all for restrictions but I wont be changing my jogging routines

It's okay to admit you're wrong you know.
You might learn something.

So I have stayed within the 2km limit well before it was implemented.

Well done Robert! Your trophy is in the post

No it isn't. For one it might stop every Tom dick and Harry galavanting to the seaside, pier or forest park at the glimpse of some sunshine.

Before this we used to go to our local forest park every weekend. The past two weekends it has been more jammed than I have ever seen it, we turned around and headed back to our local canal instead.

That said, the forest park is more than 2k away.

If only brain cells were multiplying as fast as the virus. I'm actually astonished how stupid some people are.

How will jogging 5 miles away harm lives? If it does then they have been lying to us from the start

Wasnt a huge fan of him before, but as has been said many times before he's playing an absolute blinder with this.

For all those that want to go further on a run, bring some shopping bags.

So it's not possible to catch the virus within a 2km radius of your home.......can any experts confirm?

Spreading the virus ffs.

Not aimed at anyone in particular, but I'm thinking the virus is definitely reducing the mental capacity of those not showing any other of the symptoms.

_Kaiser_ · 27-03-2020 09:35PM

I'm still not clear on how mandatory these new restrictions now are.

Eg : there's over 150km between my house and my son. If I decide to travel between the 2 tomorrow, is someone actually going to stop me?

Chief Medical Officer in the UK has it.

You couldn't make it up.

A person around lots of people all day has it.

You couldn't make it up.

... oh wait yeah doh ...

But they're from the UK.

So it's funny cause they're idiots.

(wild applause)

Seriously, isn't it about time we laid off the UK bashing? They're our neighbours and friends. Many of us know people over there, and it would be nice to have some goodwill while we're all going through this crazy sh!tstorm together... instead of taking some sort of sick pleasure in seeing them suffer. (and this has nothing to do with whether or not you like Boris Johnson either btw)

Most will and hopefully that will be enough.

I'd imagine anyone taking the piss like having parties etc will attract the attention of the gardai.

Most will for sure. People know they are one from a community, not from an island, and act accordingly. Most people hate this and are frightened by how bad it could get. Don't get bogged down by the clowns rambling around with complete disregard for this virus. They are a minority.

I understand your points

But see it as rowing in to support and back your country.

Plenty time afterwards to do as you please

The more people that get behind this, whether they agree with it or not, the overall better for everyone
