    LOL. No it won't.

    House parties occur regardless.

    And always house parties after pubs, always!

    They will if they allow proper closing times.

    Country pubs last drinks are meant to be 12.30 PM but usually serve till about 2.30AM.

    The whole out the door thing at 11.30 with covid restrictions is just plain stupid, your going to go back to a house for drinks at that time. Pub

    No, they'll blame the gurriers at the parties.

    The weird thing is, these lads are going on like "People will have house parties anyway, so we should be allowed have a free for all in the pubs".

    I might as well go rob a week's shop from my local Aldi. "Here, people are robbing stuff in loads of other shops, so I should be able to do it here".

    What point are you trying to make?

    Or, if you're responsible, you're not.

    And isn't that the argument being put forward? People should be trusted enough to frequent the pubs with no restrictions?

    If what you're saying is true, that people will go to the pub, get drunk and then act the b*llocks, then pub restrictions need to be in place to save the rest of us from these idiots

    I don't think anyone mentioned a free for all in the pubs, enter the pub, social distance and have the social interaction and drink your nine or ten pints in a regulated environment and go home.

    If pubs aren't open house parties going to be rampant .

    Guards actually inspected pubs when they were open last.

    And guess what. They would be correct. Hopefully the new garda powers will be enforced over the Christmas/New Year period. If morons act iresponsibly let them suffer the consequences.

    What's a gaurd going to do in all honesty. People have copped on and even installed IP cameras on their front and back doors and the house parties are generally in bungalows.

    Id be surprised if they even did get in and probably only catch 0.0001% of house parties actually happening around ireland and that's from nosy neighbours complaining.

    You seem to have a lot of inside knowledge about this. Been at a few of them yourself maybe?

    It's been mentioned loads of times on this thread.

    And it's these people who are the reason we need to have these restrictions in place. The lads who will act the b*llocks in the pub!

    Just because they act the maggot at home doesn't mean we give them carte blanche to do it in public places as well


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,612 ✭✭✭Gervais08


    The Level 3 that we had in October where pubs with an outside space could open for 15 - are we going back to that ?

    There's house parties happening in every countryside, village, town, city in Ireland.

    Yes I have been at plenty of them. Some with 50 plus in a house but generally around 20.

    Usually try to get to two a week.

    No. But it doesn't take many. People are doing it up and down the country.

    There's a post literally a few posts back from a fella saying he's going to two house parties a week. This is what I'm talking about.

    Ridiculous that - that wanker Holohan and his “gastropub” ****e. He has zero clue about rural Ireland. Muppet he is.

    See what I mean?

    And the reason its happening is because the pubs or shut.

    Seen them all have you ?

    Perhaps we should be reporting you for travelling to document this?

    Yeah, I know!

    If we can't trust people like you not to put us all at risk in private, we can't trust you to do it in public either.

    There are too many people doing what you're doing and it's leading to tough decisions needing to be made.

    Really? Well then if this is true then no wonder cases have not fallen as quickly as they should have. Confirms what I thought all along. Anyway enjoy your house parties while you still can. On the law of averages you will eventually be rumbled but sure that won`t bother you will it?

    Not at all, point im trying to get across is would you rather people drinking in a regulated environment where the guards check up on for social distancing like the last time pubs were open or unregulated house parties?

    And you think you do? Are you living in a rural area yourself?

    Rumbled by what, Covid? Probably already had it but wouldn't know as 80% of people who get it have extremely mild symptoms or are asymtomatic.

    Not my fault the government made a **** of the nursing homes where 50% of deaths occurred

    Rumbled my hole.

    The guards have serious criminals to go after. They aren't staking out party houses.

    If someone is blasting music at the whole neighbourhood all night then a squad car may eventually turn up.

    I've said a million times, I'm all for pubs being open with restrictions. It worked before and I think it can work again.

    I'd prefer if we could trust people enough to look out for each other, not mess about and allow pubs to be open unrestricted. But I'm a realist and this is not the reality.

    Having people throwing house parties is not a reason to open the pubs, it's quite the opposite.

    Just saying I'm a Dub and would not step foot in a "gastro pub". Embarrassing places full of knobs. I used to be fuming when the job would try and force me to go to such hollow **** holes on social nights.

    Just give me a normal, quiet, boozer where you can sit down and a chat without any airs of pretence.

    To be fair any pub that can sell carvery or a few wings is a gastro pub technically.

    Do what I did the last time. Get your wings in a takeaway pack, microwave them later / tomorrow. They can fuxk off if they think I'm eating with my pints.
