    OK, I'll say this yet again, and anyone ignoring it will, at a minimum, be threadbanned

    If you cannot be civil to one another, do not post

    Soneone needs to have a word with George Lee

    To be a bit fair to Mr Lee and his Public Service Broadcasting colleagues out in Montrose,they are all,no doubt,attending internal RTE management meetings where the "Message of the Day" will be outlined and which ALL of RTE staff will be expected to follow the recommendations to BIG-UP the Covid angle in every piece they do.

    Very few RTE staff journalists will go against these edicts.

    This thing has long ago developed legs......it's now a race to get more done before the great unwashed slowly begin to wake from their PUP slumber,and start asking céistana ?

    Since when has been buying beer and cider being prohibited?

    Or is this more of the constant whine in this thread since the beginning "I'm done with the restrictions" or wtte? regardless of the rate of infection or even that atm we're in the process of the biggest vaccine rollout in the states history?

    The reason people are done with restrictions is simply human behaviour. I remember this quote from years ago and it is very applicable now

    all forms of deviancy are simply a challenge to the normalised repressiveness of the State.

    How appropiate

    2 insanely ridiculous things happening in schools right now..

    My sister is doing her Leaving cert oral in irish and the way it ordinarly works for the sraith pictuir section of the exam is they head over to a table where all 12 page are laid face down, and they choose one randomly, then hold it for the duration of exam and discuss it with the examiner. These pages are recycled and shared with all students coming in throughout the day.

    But now with COVID after they've picked up the page and showed the examiner what they have chosen, they must then lay it back down again in the original pile, as they are not allowed to hold it for the duration of the oral in case of COVID contamination of the papers. They must have all 12 pages printed and brought with them to so they have a personal copy of whatever they had chosen . Now maybe it's fair enough in theory but what makes no sense is the fact it's already potentially 'contaminated' when they pick up the page at the beginning anyway, lol.
    Secondly..they are doing their oral with masks on..and a big plastic screen between exmainer and teacher. So both parties have to speak into a microphone so that they can actually hear one another. Now this is already ridiculous enough but the examiners aren't external because of COVID..all these precuations are with the teachers they see up close in class every day , where there are not barriers such as the big plastic screen
    .

    What is even scarier,is that young people such as your sister,may well get to enter a University and become one of the many Mathematicians who apparently inhabit such places......well according to Mr George Lee anyway ?

    Late 21 Century Ireland will truly be an interesting place !!! :eek:

    You mean there's people who are infected with covid in the hospitals? :eek:

    That would mean they'd have to turf out the approx 50% under 65s in hospital with covid as well! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    It is a risk. One we are pretty much all prepared to accept. However I think there should be a queuing with the oldest allowed to set off first. They test the water and if they don't make it the younger ones can avoid the risk altogether.


    :pac:

    Agree with you entirely. Absolutely ridiculous the nonsense over this, these guys need to be keeping fit and training together consistently, and the same goes for every county. These guys are athletes, not your normal chap who drinks a few beers every weekend with his mates. We have lost our minds in Ireland.

    The skill levels, stamina and team ethic of our inter county teams is something that requires constant dedication and these noddy’s in charge think we can postpone normal play for months for no valid reason, no other country has done this to semi pro sports teams, which is what the inter county competition is.

    Now, I must admit, as a culchie, when I seen this earlier I was hoping they would they be banned from the championship this year. Luckily my principles shone through in the end

    Even for a Culchie,I'm sure you saw the truth of this last week....:rolleyes:

    Only the old people fit enough to cross the road weren’t most at risk from Covid.

    It would be those requiring assistance to cross the road that would be at risk

    Unfortunate, but from the stats true

    None of this would be happening if people were allowed their usual social outlets. Why do people insist on pretending that humans are robots and that lockdowns can ever work long term? People are moving on, time to get over that. If she wants to stay inside devoid of all human contact then she can.

    Because there are a lot of morons in this country that love to be ruled over. And others that are too spineless to do what they want so they try to spoil it on others.

    What the feck is going on? What kind of gimp films this and puts it on twitter?

    This is touching on a very interesting subject.

    Does Covid have the same effect without social media?

    Sadly it seems that many young people like Catriona are now reduced to carrying around large pieces of lace,in order to be able to peeep out from behind them,before calling the Gards :(

    It's not just lockdowns.

    If it wasn't for old people escalators could go much faster. Like you could be ejected two feet into the air at the top of one.

    But oh no, we have to live in this 3kmph dystopia because of the "vulnerable"
