What's pathetic is saying people should be forced to go years without going to the pub, traveling or having sex but I guess the sense of begrudgery is enough for you.

Show me where I suggested any of those those. Go on. Quote the post. Or admit you're talking out of your fundamental orifice.

In a months time (or sooner hopefully) when we have to go back to work I don't expect the same stiffer upper lip.

The demise of the €350 will lead to the greatest bout of public mourning than if you were to combine the grief of the deaths of princess Diana, Nelson Mandela and the breakup of Take That all together in one event.

I was actually referring to the people who the poster said made all the suggestions in his post but if the boot fits wear it.

Silly me for expecting any better.

Whilst the rest of the world will be getting on with life as well as possible looking at how our crowd are operating we will be catapulting slices of turkey and ham through the windows of our elderly parents on December 25th whilst there’s a panic buy and rush on the 2m long socially distance sanitised Christmas crackers.

Meanwhile the curtain twitchers will be on standby to shoot any carol singers on site who may be spreading hope and joy Outside their 5k zones whilst Santa Claus gets gets quarantine for trying to enter Irish air space.

Tony and the NPHET’s are at number 1 in the charts with their hit “it’ll be lonely this Christmas on our Covid wards” and promise us if we can get to 20 weeks without anyone coughing we may be able to move to phase 5!

:D Funniest post in a while

Maybe spend less time quoting Latin and more time mastering reading comprehension. It'll work wonders.

Bit rich coming from someone who twisted what I was saying to somehow make it out to be a personal insult against him when I was obviously referring to a completely different group of people but whatever.

It’s actually really disturbing how many Irish people seem to be enjoying lockdown just because it prevents other people from doing things they enjoy.

I’ve seen people that don’t even drink almost celebrating the fact that pubs are closed. People with no desire to travel saying that air travel should be cancelled for years. One miserable poster suggesting that young people shouldn’t be having sex until a vaccine is found. Criticising people who order takeaways. Criticising people who enjoy sport such as horse racing/gambling. Criticising businesses for wanting to reopen.

It’s really pathetic to have that much hate inside you. If you really don’t like something, just don’t do it

I was referring to this post when I said that people should have their heads examined and you went the full shame on you routine with me. Unless you're the one posting that stuff in the above post there's no reason to get your knickers in a twist. Go back and read the posts. Slowly so you can understand them.

Lovely reading the nightly hysterics in the morning.

Thread had gone quiet so its great to see it back more frenzied than ever

These threads are the best part of this thing!

Paddygreen · 21-05-2020 07:15AM

Someone mentioned Christmas crackers earlier on in the thread. We can still have them guys, it is easy to have socially distancing and still pull Christmas crackers. Just tie a meter of string to either end.

Nice to see that the Irish Times has figured out why so many lockdowners are happy ———-

A significant minority of people in receipt of the €350 pandemic unemployment payment were paid less than €300 a week before the payment was introduced, a Government report has said, as questions continue about the future of the payment.The report, compiled by the Department of Business, raises concerns about “significant disincentive effects associated with the pandemic unemployment payment with 38 per cent of recipients previously earning less than €300 per week”.

With almost 600,000 people receiving the special payment, it means that over 200,000 people are better off unemployed than they were while working. That number includes many people who were working part-time in the hospitality industry.

Already banned. There is a list of “essential Christmas” and the only crackers on them are cheese crackers. It was a toss up between stuffing and the Crackers, and thankfully the crackers lost out. They are talking about staggering Christmas Day across three days so as to minimise the pressure on the shops (I know it makes as much a sense as a 5km limit).

If that's true, it's absolutely outrageous.

... and shows why this was a badly thought out amount in the first place.

They have now added 200,000 to the dole who have no intention of going back to work again, unless they cut the payment dramatically, which could be political suicide.

Once we get to phase 5 the payment will be gone. You can sign on officially then if I want

It makes sense now.. Once these payments are tapered off the Lock down FFS! Lot are doomed.

For some ridiculous reason they are trying to draw this out for months and months.

Pubs and restaurants now effectively finished until a mythical vaccine appears.

Schools,sporting events, concerts any indoor gathering etc all gone

Can’t be spending more than 2 hours in same room

How did this stupidity only enter discussion this week 9 weeks later??

What’s the next idiotic recommendation these fools are going to come up with.

Can’t fill your own petrol or diesel at the pumps for risk of spreading the virus :rolleyes:

Wouldn’t be surprised at this stage.

Dr Tony,NPHET seem to be on a mission to keep themselves relevant for as long as possible and Leo their lapdog is allowing this comedy show to continue

Thanks Tony and NPHET you have given your advice and recommendations and the people carried them out , totally suppressing this virus in the community weeks ago and now it time to move on.

They scared people with their initial figures of potential infections and deaths and now they want to continue that sh1t with their second wave scaremongering.

Government said outdoor events of 5000 or less can go ahead.
The 2 hour thing is not official and it wont be.

The 5km rule is ridiculous. Most people are breaching it anyway . Even 20km is stupid. UK and NI can go anywhere now and we share the island with NI . So they can travel anywhere they like on this island now and we can’t? They can drive to Donegal, Dublin , Kerry.........they can drive the perimeter of Ireland, the Atlantic Way in its entirety ............but we have to stick within 5km.

Because “this is us “ ......the eejits in Ireland ............:rolleyes::rolleyes:

A person can think a thing is stupid without it affecting them. Imagine that. If that wasn't the case we wouldn't have the reams and reams of posts on this site whining about Donald Trump.

We can live without sports and music. The virus doesn’t care if it is Beyoncé or Daniel O’Donnell, Cavan Town or Man Utd.. the virus would attend every gig and every sports event and more death would follow.
