    You're not discussing it, you stated in your op that you were going out. That's the end of the discussion. You weren't looking for feedback, you're not going to be swayed from going, so go but don't get all pissy when some people call you out for it.

    There is header text of my thread.
    Had enough of this lockdown am I the only person feeling like this?

    I am an adult I did not come on here to ask for permission I asked were others feeling the same.

    Why are some many of you so aggressive?

    Seeing some of the attitudes on display I can not wait for this to happen.:D

    Nothing wrong with going out for a drive, and parking up somewhere nice where you can go for a walk, without being too close to people.

    Maintain social distancing and you arent endangering yourself or anyone else.

    People need to be logical about this.

    Thank you totally agree but logic seems to have gone out the window for many.

    To all the people saying hospitals are empty - my daughter was at least 9 hrs waiting in A&E last weekend or a non- Covid issue & ended up in a bed beside a covid patient. So yeah. Now we’re all scared stiff. But to say hospitals are quiet or empty? No they’re not. Not A&E depts anyway.

    You really want to risk going from hero status to be reduced to a complete selfish turd in the eyes of the majority?

    Fill your boots I say, in fact I think you are spoofing for the sake of a reaction but please go out as no matter what people say here you are too stubborn to listen to reason.

    I say exactly what is on my mind I am not looking for reactions nor am I spoofing.

    This is a discussion forum we are not living in China or North Korea.
    That's where you're wrong. This is an Open Eir gulag and always was.


    The oligarchs would prefer to have a system like Saudi Arabia where there are only slaves and them - no middle class. All laws are made in favor of the already rich, to keep them in power.


    They see paying you a living wage as a 'wage bubble' and this is why they want you extinct. All of the central bank printing goes into inflating asset bubbles. This is why nobody will ever own a house in Dublin again.



    Jannies will ban me but I'll say what I think - at dial-up speed it's not like this is a working website anyway.

    Travellers gathering in mass moving around all over the place doing what they like but you will not say boo to them it's not PC.

    Scab labour being imported during so called lockdown.
    one who works for less than union wages or on nonunion terms
    Again no outrage from you not PC

    Lockdown does not apply to people coming down from the North.

    HSE moved sick people with the virus out of hospital into care homes infecting the residents and staff there.

    Flights from infection hotspots allowed to continue by the way the virus was imported on flights.


    After total compliance and risking infection working with many other people in an essential service since this has started some are saying I will be viewed as a turd for taking a drive on my own for a walk on my own.

    Calling me pissy.
    You need to take a long hard good luck at yourself in the mirror.

    We are supposed to be a democratic country we voted Leo and company out of office I will not be taking instructions from that man.


    If business decides to reopen on mass the government will just have to go along.

    Looking at the situation through the eye of needle I say. How many deaths are there going to be attributed to an entire economic collapse and potentially a 5-10 year depression?
    Do these deaths not count?

    What about the suicide rates that will arrive on the backs of collapsing businesses and jobless youths? Do these deaths not count ?

    How about the people lying at home requiring transplants, cancer screening, cancer operations, do these deaths not count ?
    Amazing really

    What ever about restrictions being eased, a way this will definitely be done is through a proven vaccine, if one ever becomes available.

    Have to wonder how many people who are calling for the restrictions to be eased/lifted or working in high risk jobs will refuse to take the vaccine?

    Personally speaking, I'd have absolutely no issue with taking a vaccine.

    Heard a joke.

    Husband and wife in lockdown wife can't get out for exercise and says to husband she thinks this lockdown is making her fat husband replies don't be silly you were fat already.

    That man is now another death attributed to Covid 19.

    329 confirmed cases today, 222 of them in care facilities. Good strategy.

    Don't shoot the messenger people but a FEW people I work with have said it is like they are trying to do away with the elderly.

    I did not say this but they have not been protected to say the very least.

    While I'm not saying our care system is great. I've seen it first hand and it's patchy at best, but the problem of high numbers of cases in care facilities is universal in pretty much every western country that I've seen stats for.

    We need to get to the bottom of why the spread was so fast and why that happened in pretty much all EU countries and in the US.

    They saw the Italian experience of who was most in danger regarding the virus, instead they transferred sick people into care settings from hospitals. If the strategy is to kill a large number of our elderly it's working well.

    See these sly posts trying to bait people.:rolleyes:

    I am working keeping the supply chain moving so people like you can stay home and do it.

    If I need any tips I will be sure to ask an expert like yourself.:pac:

    The perfect reply to cheap vulgarity, and well said.

    The concept of 'discussion boards' is lost on a fair few around here.

    Personally, I have resisted all temptation to get the motorbike out, and it has not been easy on the glorious days we've had.

    Apart from that, for various reasons, this crisis has hardly affected my lifestyle at all. I am very fortunate.

    I will not break the restrictions, but I wouldn't say a word to someone of my acquaintance who at this stage is contemplating doing what you're doing.

    If you need to do it, do it. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you don't get caught.
