    The Covid 19 radio ads that repeat ad nauseam. I get that it's an emergency and all need to be informed but the constant repetition is making Classic Hits 4FM unlistenable at this stage, especially the "it's having a big impact on how we live our lives" one. Well DUUUUH!!

    It’s everywhere. Last night Hyundai had even worked it into there ad!

    There are ways of saying things.
    Sometimes it's not what you say but how how say it.

    If people haven't got this by adulthood, there's probably no hope for them.

    Knowing how things go I'll probably lose the plot in a nuclear fashion for the first time in years at the next eejit I meet after typing the above.

    Walking the dog beside my house earlier and there were two cyclists coming up the road behind. I stepped in to one side, assuming they would have the cop on to at least go single file as they passed. Of course not. The self important lycra-clad gits kept two abreast, one each side of the road so I couldnt get two metres away. They werent locals either so definitely giving the two fingers to the 2km thing.

    Maybe they were up from Connemara ;-)

    Week 3 of the lockdown:
    Neighbours are still driving me up the walls.
    #11 - had builders in for the last 2 weeks, now seems to have a painter/decorator in this week
    #10 and #1 - have been sending their children up and down to each other's house for the entire duration of the lockdown to play
    #14 had a strange car parked outside it all night on Saturday so someone was obviously staying over
    #6 - seems to be having a birthday party for their 1 year old twins. A carload of people just went into their house and #10 have just called over to the house.
    #7 - has his kids out screaming in the road every single day.

    I shouldn't be paying them so much attention coz it's really riling me up how they're just blatently flouting all the rules. But they're right outside my house. It's impossible to miss the comings and goings.

    In that case it is more of a TA if they don't want people visiting their village but have no problem annoying others ;)

    I'm such a crank I would be calling the guards on everyone. :P

    TA I have this dread that our numbers are going to be seriously affected by the people who will break the restrictions this weekend. I would normally welcome good weather and 4 days off work, but not this time. :(

    It's just gone 11.30 and the 8yr old is looking for lunch, FML. Breakfast was at 9 and she has not long had a snack. I have tried hopefully telling her if she has lunch now she will have to have dinner around 3 and go to bed by 5.

    My hands have patches of contact dermatitis from the constant use of different brands of anti bac on them.
    I know its nothing in comparison to a lot of ppl, but its freaking sore.

    My phone screen is always jumping and the keyboard obscures what I'm typing, then there's popups everywhere to obscure a bit more.
    I can't see what I'm typing.

    F*cking click-bait and factually incorrect weather articles. "Glorious Easter Weekend on the Way" - but when you read it, what it basically says is, "weather will be thoroughly average. Friday will be cloudy and wet. Saturday will be mostly wet with some very brief periods of sun (blink and you will miss them). Sunday will be about 9 degrees and will also have lots of cloud" - like WTF???:mad: Why are these numpties allowed to create such misleading headlines??

    TA our neighbours are clearly not taking the restrictions seriously. I wouldn't mind so much if we didn't share a communal garden area and entrance gates. Constant stream of people visiting them. Today their visitors brought young children. So, we basically have to assume that neighbours have the virus since they are taking no precautions, which means sanitising every time we touch the post box, gates etc. I have a feeling they will have even more people over the weekend. I'll he hopping if they all end up sitting out in our shared space. :mad:

    We're not doing too bad on the social distancing now, I still see muppets like you mentioned but I've resigned myself to the fact that in every country there will be a small number of people like them who are...


    (a) Too stupid to follow the rules, they simply don't have the brainpower to compute the information.

    (b) Too pig-headed to follow the rules. Dyed in the wool contrarians who know better than everyone else, and make a hobby out of going against the grain.

    My friend's sister is a bit of a pontificator (is that even a word? I like it) on the ould facebook. This evening she shared a link to a news report urging people to stay at home this weekend and stay away from touristy spots when the weather is good. As if she was some sort of local politician or councillor.

    The only thing is she posted pictures of herself last week walking her dogs along a beauty spot that is an hour's drive from her home. So much for practising what you preach, or are you exempt from criticism when your dogs are essentially your children?
