If you choose to be wound-up! Pop into the local hardware shop, get the wood and build it!

Ah yeah because people working from home have nothing but time on their hands to make furniture.

You can buy a desk online, or am I missing something here?

not an argument for or against Horse Racing - but i keep seeing this "i need to buy xyz" its all online. It will take a little while but it will get there.
I also need a desk though, thanks for the reminder!

Retailers of office products are on that list too. Some may do furniture as well.
From the roadmap

Retail that is mainly outdoor + homeware,
opticians, motor, bicycle & repair,office products, electrical, IT, phone
sales & repair open. All subject to social distancing.

Can I buy a new bike on Monday? The place does repairs also.

There is this big meatball store in Ballymun which also sells a bit of furniture on the side - Can this open?

Nobody's forcing you to do anything except stare at the wall but there is a universe of possibilities out there for you if you choose.

That will come from the HSE. They have mentioned restarting a range of services soon but I don't know if there is a date for that yet.

Oh soon, great, i wonder their definition of soon is, hopefully not as soon as the schools

If it's on the list it looks like it. Give them a call to check.

Got one last week off of Argos on their eBay page. I think there's still a few in stock.

Here's an interesting article comparing lots of countries around the world and their reaction to the virus, and the current consequences of those reactions:

I love how nobody is forcing me to do anything yet if I try to go beyond 5km I can be forced to turn back or face arrest.

I'd guess they should say something in the next couple of weeks. Any time they mention it they seem keen. Think they still run a HSE briefing on Sunday mornings.

The lack of “wanting to help” from childcare workers was not the reason this scheme was scrapped. It was very badly thought out with zero consultation with providers and between no insurance and the WRC wading in, it was pulled.

Oh really?
That's funny because take a look here and see why it says it was scrapped https://www.rte.ie/amp/1138274/

Guess you Mr/Mrs random internet user know better huh?

Do you mind me asking where you bought the bike from?

The world has changed.

I doubt we'll ever return to what we thought was normal.

All we can do is do our best to adapt.

Based on personal experience, I completely disagree. Apart from more masks and some temperature checks and hand cleaning requirements, the virus is old news in Vietnam and life feels like it did before it, internally anyways as long as you don't need to fly anywhere.

There is no particular reason to think the world has changed. Countries with more debt? Sure. More people working at home? Good. But "changed", as in the social or cultural fabric or that? I don't think so.

Your usual trolling techniques didn’t work so now you’re resorting to name dropping the Krazy Gang? Pathetic.

Says poster who is just throwing the toys out of the pram because the govt takes scientific professional advice and not that of selfish cranks.

It takes more courage to tell people what they can not have rather than what they can have.

Where did you buy the bike and were you able to get it in the cycle to work scheme?

That's called collective social responsibility. I have yet to be stopped not that I am making an effort to test it, but have seen no Gardai checks throughout this.

In a Couple of weeks? They will say something? I thought they’d be restarting from Monday, It’s been 2 months already that these cancer screenings are not available

Not sure why you’re being hostile towards me.

The article you linked actually gives the same reasons as I did for why the scheme was scrapped.

Aren’t we all random internet users on here?

Mentioning you can buy things online and going on about how buying curtains isn't essential.

I don't want fecking curtains Heather. I want a desk so I can work from home effectively and not have everything piled on top of itself. IKEA's online service is a shambles as well. I'd be as well trying to make a desk myself.

Would this help you

If moving to stage one which, let’s face it, is stage 0 wearing a pretend moustache and glasses, caused so much dithering and dawdling, back and forth and humming and hawing, can you imagine the carry on of them when it’s time to move to stage four or five?

I’ve been stopped twice going shopping. But it’s good that you haven’t been stopped yet. That changes everything.

If they were starting next Monday people would already know. It strikes me as a question that could be asked at a briefing.
