It's only really bad news if Delta (or whatever next variant) evades Omicron recovery antibodies.
At what point is it just a different virus?
I read an article yesterday saying there's a chance that you can have both delta and omicron at the same time.
I've heard of people having it twice in little over a month. It seems having Delta doesn't confer much, if any, immunity from Omicron.
The other half's younger sister who had COVID in October now has COVID again, in case any of ye needs a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks they're bulletproof if they've had it in the past.
Don’t know which was more disruptive but at least with Covid there is some hope of fixing it.
What do we reckon was more disruptive in 2021: Covid or the boards “upgrade”…
Happy New Year everyone, hope it’s a good and safe one for everyone. Even the trolls. Hopefully we will see the back of this feckin Covid too.
After you go sale agreed, right before you sign the contracts.
Not worth your time/money doing it before then if they decide to withdraw the house or another bid comes in.
Hi folks, Currently trying to buy my first property. I submitted a bid just before Christmas and the agent came back and said it was registered and they'd be back in touch the first week of January. There was no other bids last I spoke to them so theres currently no competition. Just wondering in terms of getting a surveyor out to inspect the place, is it generally better to wait until I've gone sale agreed or is there any advantage to doing it before? Also, can anyone recommend a surveyor? House is Swords/ North County Dublin area.
That or everyone's still in a Christmas food coma.
I have eaten a disappointingly small amount of chocolate and cheese this Christmas.
Wow. Five straight days without a post in the off-topic thread. That there omicron must be ripping everyone a new arsehole.
After being home last week, the aggravation at the airport was insane. I have a physical covid card. It has no QR code and it can't be scanned. So, watching people arrive after I did and get through the AerLingus queues because they were able to upload the covid information, drove me nuts. I was 4 hours early and spent 2 hours at the airline check in.
I suppose I have to find out how to get my vaccination status upgraded so can upload it on my phone.
Merry xmass you heathen outcasts. All the best for the new year!
Yeah I had a he-man and battle cat set, against skeletor and panthor.
I remember the way the figures used to twist in the middle on a spring load.
I watched the latest reboot too, for the craic. They were OK.
i can’t be the only person who had a He-Man, no? And TMNT were big when I started high school
Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.
Back in Limerick for the first time in 3 years so would only be good and proper to say “Happy Christmas, baaaiii’s”. Hopefully the last one Covid sh*te’s all over.
Happy Christmas folks. Hope anyone stuck isolating finds ways to have a good Christmas. Things are fairly mad now but it won’t last forever.
Happy Christmas everyone, especially anyone with Covid and a happy New Year. Hopefully 2022 will finally see the back of Covid.
Happy Christmas lads. Even the non Connacht fans.
Anyone I know who has even thought about London seems to have COVID
Sh*t buzz, Podge… I’m definitely hearing of more people having it now than at any stage during the last 2 years.
Hopefully it turns out the Omicron is definitively less severe, and we can get back to something a bit more normal soon.
That’s really sh1t. Unfortunate timing to say the least.
I just got it yesterday 😀
🙃
😞
Thought this was hilarious at first, but now the fury has kicked in. How many needless deaths have this prick and his friends caused during the course of the pandemic? Fair play to Roley's.

Thankfully I got it out of the way at the beginning of December. Feel really sorry for the people who will have to isolate through Christmas.
Pre-Christmas Covid seems to be a real trend at the moment. My two best mates and their families both have it, my sister (in Canada) has it, my aunt and uncle have it. Far more so than last Christmas.
Is any trying to play FPL this year? The cancellations are adding.a whole new world of pain!
Very mild altogether. Gf went out for a jog yesterday morning so almost back to normal. We got it just before I was supposed to fly home though which isn't ideal. Quiet Christmas year.
Yep. How's it going for you? Think we're getting away fairly mildly so far.
