What's especially hilarious about this post is you are the biggest drama queen on this thread.

"Sinister government", "just cause it's Dublin", it's all a little tragic.

Frustratingly helpless, I feel for you, hope you recover well. If your wife works in a heated building with power, bedding and food she might have to stay put till it's safe to make a move.

She works in A&E Portlaoise. They’ve put them up in the local hotel for tonight as she’s back tomorrow morning. She’s off after that, so I’m hoping she’ll be able to make it home Friday night.

You should probably self medicate if you're at home alone.

Yet they demanded we all were to shelter indoors as if it was nuclear fallout.

What a shower of plonkers they are. Egged on by the drama queens of Ireland.

There's no curfew so you're free to go out and about it you wish.

Yes, but it's a major weather event for Ireland.

Just look out your window. Try and get out and about tomorrow and say then it's flipping snow.

I will get out and about, so will my wife and kids. Love walking in adverse conditions.

You're the most hyped up dramatist on this thread! You're beside yourself with indignation. Fashionably offended (on the internet).

I salute everyone who carries on regardless of the scutter that the govt and RTÉ have been pumping out.

Two fingers to the lot of em is always a healthy attitude.

More so than cowering for shelter at exactly 4 o’clock on the dot as Leo “advised”.

What do you think the entire country is doing right now?

Fiery mutant

Trying to find something to watch, and drinking some Tennessee Honey Jack Daniels.

Yer Da sells Avon

I was driving a while ago (fuck you Leo, I won't do what you tell me) and it was just starting to get bad when I arrived home. I don't really want to sit inside all day tomorrow, so I'll probably wrap up well and go for a walk, take some photos, etc. When it snowed in 2010, I ended up going for a long walk on the beach on one of the worst days.

That wasn't aimed at you Beechwoodspark. But... You do need to calm down. Maybe a glass of red wine and a xanex.

Whatever about the warnings being an embarrassment to some, I'm sure all the people stuck on the motorway in Devon for 24 hours wished the British Government did the same as ours.

By acting like one.

Go out and do whatever it is you feel like you're being stopped from doing and stop whingeing about meteorologists trying to do a job and advise on how to advise so that serious injuries are prevented.

Channel 5 just did a two hour special on the snow in the UK

But some people never watch or listen to or read any news. They won't have been aware of warnings not to go out.

Not good Tipboy. It's very very localised, some places hard it with power outages and uncleared points, some places only a few kilometres away hardly hit.

Not really. They knew the weather forecast before they took on their journeys. Turned sour, they got caught up in it, tough sh1t.
The public need to be left make their own decisions, not dictated to.

Teaching the kids how to play 45, eating junk, and trying to get 4 cats to be civil to each other, they are not used to being inside so much

Definately. Safety first. You don't need the whiney voice though, it's getting tiresome.

I didn't even know Channel 5 was still a thing. Who watched that? It's full of all the garbage that even TV3 won't show.

Same here, I think it's a primeval trigger to stock up before a few months in the scratcher.

According to the UK met office, the UK gets on average 23.7 days of snow fall or sleet a year (1981 - 2010).

Imagine if they had 23.7 days of curfew a year, they would never get anything done.

You must watch it a lot to know so much about it.

I can only imagine how stupid you'd have to be to think the UK gets 23.7 days like this a year on average.

Who's dictating? There is nobody stopping you from going out. There may not be anywhere to go but that's down to the free choice of individual businesses.

Beating the kids at scrabble and finishing off the last of the Christmas gin.

Anyone going out, walk with the wind in your back, and then walk backwards coming home.

Rambo believe me, there are hundreds of thousands of people in this country who think this “lock down” is way over the top.

I know that probably angers you but accept it and try to come to an accommodation with that.

If it makes it easier for you, feel free to lash out. I understand.

I went out. To work. Had a barbecue when I got home. Finished at 6 or after. Went for a walk locally.Like something from a Stephen King novel because of a band of ****w1ts. Who despite how wrong they are professionally will still be in a job next week.
