    I'd rather smear my bollíx with honey and tease a hungry bear then go on a Cruise.

    That would be me even before coronavirus. And even without a bollix.

    Can someone explain the obsession with public toilets?????

    I like reading the graffiti on the door , but I don't believe if I ring Samantha I'll have a good time. I'm very skeptical on the advice of a person I don't know.

    Here was me thinking you were a woman. Apologies for gender assuming, that's a thing isn't it?

    You got me, i will sit on the naughty step for a few moments. In my defense not as personal as some of the rubbish directed my way today, but I'm a big boy.

    Seriously what is your fascination with toilets? Is it a fetish?

    I'm actually quite surprised how you don't see an issue with public toilets. You know, many of them not having windows. This is what you posted yesterday.

    Open the windows, have a good flow of air.

    But the important thing is to get an insult in.

    There's far bigger issues than public toilets. Not really a big deal.

    Yeah correct posted that suggestion yesterday, you'll have to point out the insult though because I can't see it. Is a helpful suggestion an insult? it's well known that a good airflow mitigates spread.

    Telling me I have a fascination and fetish for toilets. That's not really a helpful suggestion.

    I asked what's your fascination with toilets and is it a fetish. That's a question not an insult. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify .

    It's an insulating question saying that I do have a fascination and fetish for toilets. You cannot back track.

    I'm done replying to you.

    Thank you. Insulating? Can't help you there but try the Net some good firms out there.

    We're going to see a lot of positive tests for at least a week as Day 7 testing filters through, doesn't necessarily signify high case numbers

    Close contacts tested day 0 and day 7. So you'd around 40 staff in the Kildare factory, all their contacts to be tested twice, anyone of them tests postive then they've to go look at their contacts.

    Going to be a fair amount of tests and cases linked to the kildare factory & its spread into direct provision unfortunately

    Yeah unfortunately I'd say we will have relatively high case numbers for a few days based on this

    I'm fairly certain it has beaten out the well-publicized Offaly meat factory

    In all fairness the toilet thing is a bit of an issue. Two of my women friends in work have openly admitted to drinking less fluid at work to avoid having to go to toilets. These are perfectly clever, sound, sane scientists so it is not a mad notion. I am mostly wfh but when I have to make an appearance in work I DO actually use the woods en route for peeing. So there is obviously a lingering worry for people.

    On a related note I have been musing about covid stimulating or even over stimulating disgust sensitivity which is a recognised personality trait, more prominent in some than others. It can be linked to conscientiousness, is more frequent in women, and I speculate it would have evolutionary implications. Some might link it to neuroticism which is a tad unfair, I think conscientiousness is fairer. Disgust sensitivity would be useful, even essential, in the species as an evolutionary mechanism for avoiding disease and risk mitigation. Just passing thoughts.
