No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

I’d have a few pints every Saturday night, enjoy it immensely snd clears the head of the weeks work. Break from the house too, do you lads not find it hard not to be able to shoot the breeze with like minded people outside of your wife/ partner? Jesus I’d imagine I’d go mad if every day of the 7 was the same no outlet to let the hair down.

She looks after the kids 24 7 pretty much while I'm at day jobs , I've not much interest in socialising, so I'd never think of going to the pub, instead I'll try get home early of a Saturday night so she can get away for an hour. She doesn't touch drink but meets a friend or family for an hour or 2. If you haven't young kids it's different, but I wouldn't dream of being away from house all week then saying I want to go to pub every Saturday night.

I find on a Saturday evening I love to relax on the couch with the family, watch a movie or whatever and maybe a takeaway or some popcorn or whatever. If I had to pick, Sunday afternoon/early evening would be my favourite. After that it’d be early evening on a weekday but that never happens

All the protests have been that way since the start

I listened to Mikhaela Peterson interview the leader of the Canadian truckers convoy back during covid. It was a great interview and is on Spotify. The truth was a far cry from the narrative pushed by the MSM back then.

Went to the canaries for the 1st time this Feb. Thought we landed on a different planet. End to end blue skies and 20 to 25 degrees. Anything that came after that was a bonus. Only 5 days but we'll worth it.

Grand Canaria.Hired a car.

Read up on it after. They were saying that Morocco has outperformed it for the 1st time this year.

In any case , I was very grateful for the whole experience during the Irish Winter . I felt lucky and privileged to be honest to spend family time together in warmer clims .

Still , the Roman soldiers should have toughened it out here!!!!!! SOFTIES!!!!

What was the alternative just let the government do as there doing with all the bullsh1te on how to save fuel by driving slower ect.

The carbon tax is still being introduced in may even with record high fuel prices,iam surprised that most on here where not at these protest as it effects farmers more than anything with fertiliser meal costs ect all have to come on trucks.

i now see they have a meeting tomorrow i hope they dont dismantle the protest untill after the meeting an go right back to it if the government doesn't answer some of there questions an come up with some plan to try to get it under control.

Talking to a fella yesterday n he said there'd be no diesel to be got come may bank holiday anyways, petrol should be ok. I wouldn't have him down as a drama queen tbh.

What do u think folks. All diesel yokes here between us.

But is the fuel going to get to Ireland?

Just because we are distracted by the protests, it doesn't change that supply and cost have been an issue since the iran war.

So.if blockades are over, the straits are still closed and oil is still dear.

The problem.is still there.

Plenty of fuel out there. 20% was disrupted. Leaves 80% available. Arab states were still getting roughly half of thst 20% disruption out per day aswell by other means. Also OPEC are raising production per day to fill the gap.

Any shortages will be artificial like what's going on here above.

It's all the Asian countries are are badly affected as they are the main customers. Europe really only uses opec to fill in the gaps

Thee was never or will be ambulances stopped from doing there job,people got delayed going to appointments but still got there.

I just wish this happened in July with Mehole hosting the security council it would be all sorted in a day as it would have made him look like a proper pleb
