nothing like a GAA win to quench the thirst for a few pints in the pub

:(

A decision needs to be made early next week

Its a ridiculous decision.

Not one government minister is on a covid payment - they don't give 2 ****s about the ordinary citizen.

If they didn’t care about the ordinary citizen they’d open everything up and just let it rip through society.

Better than nothing. I prefer day/evening drinking in pubs anyway.

Dickie10 · 21-11-2020 11:20PM

so just make sure theres houseparties so!

aziz · 21-11-2020 11:20PM

10pm is usually the time I go out at

Yeah but this cunning plan will result in people starting drinking earlier. Do you really think people will stop drinking at 10?

This will do far more damage than just keeping the pubs closed.

Dickie10 · 21-11-2020 11:21PM

either way it looks like the end of restrictions is nigh after xmas, it will be a sad day for all curtin twitchers everywhere but the clock is ticking on them once vaccines start restriction and nyphet should be pulled

Cork2021 · 21-11-2020 11:21PM

I’d be an early drinker as well most times. Usually a Saturday for the 5.30 match and home after

I agree and i'm prone to an all night house session myself but i'll be happy if this is true. It's better than no pubs opening?

Me too. But home after could be 11.00 the next morning

Wouldn't think the 10pm closing will be a runner. It wasn't earlier in the year got pushed to 10.30 then 11.30.

They'll probably push for 11, it gives restaurants a second sitting. 10pm is just asking for house parties too

PTH2009 · 21-11-2020 11:31PM

yeah looking like out for 3pm (some may go out earlier) maybe get a bit of dinner in and then home to a few cans at 10pm

deff suites a lot of people, better than nothing but god knows what rules will come in

Ah ive kids at home so, the sounding bell would be out come 8pm to get my arse home haha

hynesie08 · 21-11-2020 11:42PM

Jaysus, the queue at 9.45 in the offo to grab cans before last orders will be a super spreader event......

It’s not ridiculous. I support paying covid payment. I’ll be paying off the covid payments in my tax for the rest of my life.

If I had to choose between meeting my family in small groups in houses over Christmas or being in pubs at social distance in groups of up to 15 strangers, then I’d choose family. Easy choice.

Hundred percent. That’s the trump approach. Let it rip through e country and only the ones who survive can have an opinion on whethe it was a good idea.

Imagine pretending opening pubs was a good idea...

Sure, but social contact is precisely the thing that spreads the virus, but you already know that.

And schools are important just because of childrens’ education but also because children being at home means lots of parents won’t be able to go to work. So opening the schools is also a key to allowing the economy to keep going. But you know that too.

What’s the story with so many people pretending not to understand these simple things?

What's the story with so many people not having a grasp on basic human behaviour?

Humans are inherently social creatures and crave interaction with others. Preventing house visits and closing down shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, sports and most hobbies leaves those who just can't take the isolation any longer to do impulsive things like buying a bag of cans and drinking them outside with others.

There were 399,815 people living on their own in Ireland at the time of the last census. How do you think they're coping with almost 10 months of quasi-solitary confinement?

The magnitude of risk associated with social isolation is comparable with that of cigarette smoking and other major biomedical and psychosocial risk factors. However, our understanding of how and why social isolation is risky for health – or conversely – how and why social ties and relationships are protective of health, still remains quite limited.

I'd say you'd get huge odds for that.

That's a fairly closed minded view there Jim.

Legalisation, with quality control and government taxation is coming.........

The only people with an issue with banning pubs are the politicians owning pubs.
Keep them closed, if anyone wants a drink go to tesco

Jimson · 22-11-2020 12:56AM

Having a lovely few pints in the local here with friends.

Missed it. Pints are only lovely.

Jim Leahy · 22-11-2020 12:59AM

Jimson has the right idea. ANd guess what? No covid case.

Welcome to boards. Don't let the revolving door clatter you on the arse.
