    Is there no end to this blasted virus ? Four more months of this lockdown carp.


    https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/lockdownireland-restrictions-enddate-level5update-leovaradkar-19806639

    Ah ffs :(

    My middle child, my son, has autism. Finding this lockdown far harder than the first time round. He is slowly becoming a hermit, doesn't want to go outside for a walk for fear of getting the virus. Some days its near impossible to get him out of his pj's.

    I feel for my wife, she is stuck home with 3 kids and the dog with no adult conversation all day. At least I get to go to work and have some manner of normal workshop banter with the lads.

    Hope everyone is doing OK here... :(

    This is from "S.I. No. 513/2020 - Health Act 1947 (Section 31A – Temporary Requirements) (Covid-19 Passenger Locator Form) (Amendment) (No. 7) Regulations 2020" signed on 7th November 2020


    and it shows that this has been planned all along.

    4. Regulation 2 of the Principal Regulations is amended by the substitution of “the 9th day of June 2021” for “the 9th day of November 2020”.

    If you can do the job, do it. If you can't do the job, just teach it. If you really suck at it, just become a union executive or politician.

    YOUR Opinion...:)

    Of course. All we have is our opinions.
    I didn't think that was a particularly controversial one.
    So if you want to call out hypocrisy,you have to know there is something to be
    hypocritical about nr 1 and wouldn't you also say that MSM is being hypocritical in touting one book more than the other?
    Ironically the first and only person I heard advertising the Biden book was you Grizly.
    Fear not, I won't be buying it, so you haven't put at coppers in his pocket. :P
    Unless he is really thick and writes it in his novel.He hasn't self hung himself yet, and as neither of us I presume has read his book yet,...
    So not actually self-confessed then.
    Or did that only apply to the junkie part.
    She is was a Porn star[name is a dead giveaway] and it was Trumps lawyer Cohen who paid up 130K for the "worst 90 seconds of my life" As Daniels stated in an interview. Whether Trump authorised that or not,is another question...
    Let's call a spade a spade. She wasn't making a porno with Donald in 2006.
    Assuming the obvious, She's was a prostitute by any rational definition. I'm sure there's plenty of legal gymnastic to dodge that of course.
    Cohen paid the hush money. Trump reimbursed him. Which is where the issues came from.

    You missed a few
    There are at least 24 allegations.
    Strange that all these come to light in a period between 2016/20?
    Yes, there's also the teen age beauty pageant stuff. There's a lot.
    As you said, there is enough smoke about this since the 90s to suggest a fire.


    Who also recanted on both of the allegations
    I referred to this as a "rape", but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.
    She also violated a confidentiality clause,not a "gag" order, two different things, of which Trump successfully sued her for breach of contract and then won a subsequent gag order on her.
    Yes, she recanted her statement AFTER settlement.
    Settlements, confidentiality clauses, and lawsuit are not typical when somebody has nothing to hide.

    An interesting one,with her then-boyfriend being involved in some business deal with Trump,and then the lawsuit being withdrawn when Trump and her boyfriend George Houraney settled out of court??? THEN this woman goes back to work for the person who "raped" her as his makeup artist
    I don't think she accused him of rape.
    Working for him 20 years later is odd I agree. Some people will go to great lengths to promote themselves.

    UH huh, but that's why we have courts and a presumption of innocence, not judging people by previous actions or suppositions.
    Exactly.
    Except we only have that presumption of innocence when it suits a persons position. You literally ignored it above where it suited you to.

    Trump: "Lots of allegations, and out of courts settlements. But innocent until proven guilty."
    Hunter Biden": "Lots of rumors online, must be all true"

    Anyway, just an observation. You're entitled to treat people however you like.
    But FWIW complaints about media bias lose all punch when you do that.

    Zero degrees but the ReelFeel is saying -6.

    I've noticed the past few days a real bitterness when out.

    In other news what I wouldn't give to set up a few empty cans and have at them with the iron sights on my 22.

    I think everyone is finding it harder now than before. Its easier said than done to keep spirits up, but you just gotta try for your families sake. We will get through it though, just think of all those rounds you have waiting to be sent into paper :)

    I'm living off toastie sambo's when at home. I've an old cast iron one the used to belong to my Grandmother, does some job on a toastie.

    I don't miss the pubs as I wasn't really going to them that much anymore. Although at the same time it would be nice to go for a meal and a few pints after with herself or go for a pint with my Father or Father-in-Law. Life has moved on from the sesh being the focus of the week.

    I was never a big drinker to begin with but I do miss a nice fresh Guinness and I've been comfort eating to beat the band. Even with going to work. Ill be swapping JiuJitsu for Sumo by the time I go back! :rolleyes:

    She used it on purpose. Ran out of hair gel and figured the glue would do the same job and is now soncidering suing the glue company for not putting on the label that it cannot be used for hair.

    Seriously. Step around a corner, out of the wind, and its not bad. Weather shows temp as 2 to 3 degrees but apparent temp is -5 with wind chill.

    Only one place for it:

    That was 11 years ago and never touched a drop since.

    Now if i could only apply that to the cigs. :o

    If the weather was warmer it wouldn't be so bad, i could do the garden, or paint the gates or something, sweep up, mess around in the shed - which i do a lot normally but knock it on the head during the cold months. All this is something i will never forgive the Chinese for, not that it would worry them much.

    Had a couple of fox tails sealed in a container of meths for the last couple of months, took them out today and washed them, then used shampoo and conditioner before blow drying them. Drilled some .270 shells and glued them in for a couple of novelty key rings.

    Fitted a DRO to my mill last year. It was a fiddily business, but you can do all manner of little details with it, pocket milling, PCD's etc. Keep an eye on Harrison Brothers website, they have cheap enough machines on sale from time to time.
