Christmas is an awful lonesome time of the year if you are alone.

However, the virus is very active and Leo has done the right thing.

Every adult should realize that they have to make a sacrifice and stay away.

If we all have a long life of 75 years - is it really a big ask to stay away and write off this year as a crappy year and hopefully when we beat this voirus we will have better days and our childre and their childer and their childers childer will thank us in years to come so to speak

People all over the planet are pretty selfish, so, Covid is going no where for a long time yet.

"What do you think of the way that the Tánaiste said that today".

Such f**king leading questions, trying to get her to dog Varadkar. I dislike the man, but at least let her air her own opinions, don't be trying to push her into saying what you want her to say.

I hope that whoever it is she’s talking about being their last Christmas, isn’t listening!

Could be anyone's last Christmas old or young

Stupid argument

Well lets be honest, if its last Christmas you come home, test, isolate and do it safely. If you are coming home with the plan of the 12 pubs it won't be happening so stay put unless you are ok with that.

Strangely enough road deaths are up to date this year, despite people not meant to be travelling more than 2km and then 5km from their home for weeks and weeks.

Fado fado I remember road safety ads that informed us that most accidents happen within a short distance from home. Something to do with complacency being off guard or comfy getting close to home.

The quality items available on the Doubalin stalls in previous years...

Also that the vast majority of car trips are local ones.
Hard to have an accident a hundred miles away when you're at the local shop.

30 years ago most people her age used to get a bloody bus home from London for Xmas.

32 years ago I had to get home in a hurry. I bought a 10 yr old Honda CB 550 for a hundred quid and took it from Northampton to Nenagh with just a 2 year out of date provisional licence for "paperwork". I ran out of petrol in the middle of the night on the way back and a kindly copper in North Wales gave me a gallon to get me further down the road.

There's many a slip between cup and lip.

Back in my biking days, one of the most common accidents among my contemporaries was hitting their parents' pier or gate on the way home after a gallon or so of porter.

Not sure if this was mentioned to day; but a few years back - 10 or so, one of those traders rang Joe, complaining that Revenue, Customs, Social Welfare and the Gardai were checking up on those manning the stalls. Joe went off on one, having digs at the Gardai looking for soft targets, they should be out catching real criminimals etc. etc.

The trader freely admitted that he was on the dole and not declaring his income from the stalls. Joe's opinion was 'sure it's only a lickle top up for the Christmas' and a bit of SW fraud is OK.

Joe also asked incredulously why Customs were there looking out for forged and unlicensed goods, as he had never seen such things for sale on any of the stalls.

He also questioned again why the Gardai were there, when told it was because the SW and Revenue lads had been threatened and intimidated in the past he let off at the caller saying the inner city traders would never do such a thing.

It was around the time they filmed the Mrs Browns Boys film in Moore St, there was no way he was for changing on it, the traders could do no wrong and the State were a shower of b'stards for trying to implement the law.

IMO they are a pain in the backside, they sell ripped off shlte, if you want a Christmas market, then move it to Wolfe Tone Square and do a proper job on it. The space simply is not there on Henry St for them, especially in the couple of weeks before Christmas, the space from Dunnes down to the ILAC is far better suited.

If people started sharing copies of his buke so to speak in PDF format on lion he would be playing a different tune.

You look at the millions Arnotts must be investing in their store each year to only find their display window taken out of view at their busiest time of the year by vermin selling their tacky sheite right in front of the store. They should withold rates until they are banned, ditch them over to an ultra kip like Moore Street where they will fit in with the smell of piss, rotten fish and stale meat.

Doobalin has never managed to run anything remotely resembling a continental Christmas Market, and I've been to a few of the latter. Barna sheds selling non-Christmas tat are nearest they get to the proper cabin type stalls selling traditional Christmas decorations. In Germany, as well as the standard glühwein & bratwurst stalls, you have the beeswax craft house, tons of cribs, moss, mistletoe, proper woollen hats, mittens, scarves, table runners. Norway has its traditional dried Christmas Ribs dinners in vacuum packs, a fire pit for sitting out and enjoying relatively affordable grog (€5 is affordable for Norway). Belfast has the nearest thing on this island to a continental market in front of City Hall. The continental markets are full of couples, grandparents, children... no salt a d'eerts buying knock-offs.

Possible topic today to praise the gardai for stopping these bad bad bastards?

GARDAI have smashed a plot to flood the capital with over €100,000 worth of stolen and counterfeit goods over the Christmas period.

The Irish Sun can reveal investigators from the Street Crime Unit and Pearse Street station recovered the items during a raid on an ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ in the north inner city area on Wednesday evening.

There may not be traditional Norwegian dried Christmas ribs caller but de Dubalin market could have fresh bowls of christmas coddle! And genuine locally handcrafted bent teaspoons and tin foil for preparing heroin! All set to the relaxing and idilic background audio of racist attacks on tourists, seagulls squawking and women who smoke 40 a day roaring about cheap wrapping paper.
