    Just got the end of it. I think they are suggesting stopping/ restricting take away pints and something about pub openings. Id say some people are just panicking tbh.

    Didn't they discuss that last week and thought it wasn't a good idea..
    heard something about it in England today alright

    Think they said they are considering 10pm closing for libs and “earlier” for off licence sales.

    I don’t know, we have a poor relationship with alcohol in Ireland. It destroys allot of lives and families and alcohol related burden on health services is significant. No doubt the Cavan issue with covid was related back to serious alcohol consumption and partyingafter the county championship final. I’d worry Christmas will bring the same.

    I don’t know of a curfew is the solution and it worries me that there is a growing movement to legalise even more drugs based allot on the fact that alcohol is legal, but do we need more drugs into society or try and wean us of the demons we already have.

    I agree, every town and village is awash with whatever one might want. You'd have to wonder about the "War on drugs", because it was lost decades ago.

    Talking to eldest in Melbourne and he was shocked at the recently increasing numbers of positive cases and deaths that we have. He reckoned that we should have had a proper lockdown and curfew earlier last month like they had in Melbourne if we wanted any chance of having a normal Christmas. The one thing that he realises since he moved to Australia is that the majority of the population are compliant when it comes to the law.
    Edit - He said that since he arrived in Melbourne he has noticed the Police presence around the city more that he ever noticed the Garda in Dublin.

    Two local supermarkets have been fitting doors to the "off licence" section this week.
    Local Tesco's has its drinks section set up with a full width electrical roller screen/security shutter.

    I think that’s to comply with a more recent ruling abkut drinks areas in supermarkets being less visible or some such.

    4 loaded but 1 was a sub !
    One mad fcuker bolted and forced his from the pen between side of the box and gateway and was heading down the avenue towards the main road while the other 3 loaded. 3 phone calls to the bother who is working from home and thankfully he answered on the third. Got to him and turned bullock back. Then the bsatard decided to take 3 strands of a good quality barbed wire fence with and into my 4 little calves.
    My man says we'll try him again. So we headed to the field to try turn him back into the yard. Another ditch and a stream cleared. Bye bye yo him.
    My man definitely wanted 4 loaded so we'll try another he says. An overage Angus who is a comrade of the mad CHx. Eventually we got him into the pen. Let out the 3 and managed to get the 4 up.
    Not looking forward to the next days frolics when he has to be faced again. 30months on Saturday.
    In fairness my man is very calm and doesn't get excited. Can't beat experience

    Well he's gone now thank God with 4 others !! Included was his comrade who is just as mad. Glad to see the back of them. The second lad could have done with a bit more feeding but after a bit if debating with my man am just as happy he is gone.
    11 queit whiteheads left around the yard now for the winter.

    The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress. Joseph Joubert

    The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It's to promote critical thinking.
