Mean Laqueefa

watching the 1 o'clock news for the first time in months, if someone cant see George lee is nothing but a mouthpiece is blind.


On a positive, played golf again today hit my best ever round, course packed played with a garda and a road traffic accident solicitor (something like that), im a cleaner in a school at the minute and another teenager thats waiting on his girlfriend to give birth, everyone thought they gov and tony are ****ing us over long term



went to shops and got the guts of a good dinner, shop was packed aswell, as was woodies when i went into look at xmas lights but couldn't purchase #so i bought an axe to make a fire yule tide fire and all that



Lockdown is bollox and just try keep yourself sane and get outdoors, look after yourselves

I wish the focus of the media on pubs would stop. Pubs are the least important thing in our country right now.

Lets get all the sports up and running and all outdoor stuff up and running first. Get the kids matches going again and once that all works successfully, we can look at the pub thing

Or maybe look at both.

Shouldn’t be so difficult.

Jaysus they've been closed for 8 months and you say least important?

The year was 2025, pubs in Dublin were closed for 4 years and 8 months, Average runner was insisting that pubs are the least important thing in the country.

My solution- I don't watch RTE News. Complete tripe

I note he no longer posts on twitter- he'd be getting from me if he was there. Little bollix

RTE is promoting this rap video about teenagers wearing masks and social distancing. - "Come on lads don't be a fool, wear your masks, and protect your crew"

I made little bingo cards earlier in the year so get a bit of a laugh out of it. Great fun altogether haha! It included classics such as “double down” “next two weeks are crucial” “redouble our efforts” and the legendary #1 hit “cause for concern”....

All the above were said within about 5 mins and BINGO followed soon after (this is actually a true story)

Pubs are the least important thing when it comes to kids sport and sport in general. Sport offers a better return to a person well being than the pub.


A pub has its place, but we are getting carried away on focusing on pubs when there is other things that should be ahead of it in the list.

It’s quite obvious now that the plan is essentially to lockdown until we are all vaccinated.

The long, drawn out reopening of the country phase, the nonsense living with Covid plan, the save Christmas phase, the lockdown 3 talks are already starting...

It is all essentially stall tactics until we are vaccinated.

Let’s pray we don’t make a balls of it. And let’s pray we don’t sink financially in the process. The ECB certainly don’t think we’ll be bouncing right back in 2021

Sports normally closes down now in 2 weeks for Xmas. Waste of time at the moment.

Even then they'll find some reason to keep the lockdowns going. The powertrip is too much for certain individuals at this point.

My village did a better video than that with the local Prosper group. A lot less patronising too.

I'm not mocking it i'm pointing out he is high risk due to lifestyle choices if he continues gaining weight at the same rate he could die in his early 20's i've seen it happen.

Weight is a factor in Covid, you do realize that?

This is completely false. It looks like to me the parents of this young lad have been feeding him processed food since he was born and now he has a unhealthy lifestyle. I blame the parents, he is only 13 years of age. Not his own fault.

He is at risk heading into the future with heart disease or diabetes. He needs support so he can live a healthy and happy life.

Maybe you should show some concern for people who might suffer from heart problems or diabetes.

That child is extremely overweight. Desperately worrying for a kid so young- he’s already a candidate for diabetes, heart disease and a while of plethora of other issues.
But yet the woke dopes are lapping a stupid video about Covid “rules”.

I see NPHET had to revise their numbers from yesterday.

There was talk about how the positivity rate from yesterday was high, coincidentally on the day they gave their recommendations, positivity rate was high!

Turns out they miscounted the actual number of test and today increased that by 50%.

Positivity rate was 2.18% yesterday rather than the higher figures being quoted, 7 day average positivity rate is 2.65% but of course yesterday the increase in positivity rate was a "concern" on the very day they made recommendations.

2.65%!!!!

Where are you see this kelt?

Wet pubs was on it! But it was before the long awaited second album came out, the one which included hits such as “Circuit Breaker” and the Cause for Concern follow up.. “Serious Concern”

RTE: The Cabinet has approved a plan that will see all retail outlets, hairdressers, museums, libraries and gyms open next Tuesday.

People will also be able to attend religious service and play golf and tennis again from that day when the country returns to Level 3 restrictions.

Then on Friday 4th December restaurants and pubs that have a kitchen and that serve food will reopen.

On Friday 18th December until 6th January people can travel around the country.

Finally, a few weeks later than it should've been but the government seeing sense. Happy with these measures, hopefully we'll see more easing of these nonsensical restrictions.

Once New Year's is over they'll find some excuse to lock us down again.

6th of January looks pretty much a confirmed lockdown again if you ask me. Dunno why else there'd be an end date to travel around the country.

AssetBacked2

To me that could also go the other way; they could extend the easing further or else keep it at level 3 into January. Perhaps in order to keep NPHET quiet they've told them 6th January for a review but they don't have an intention of moving to level 5 again.

AssetBacked2

On Friday morning Fianna Fáil TD Jim O’Callaghan said his personal view was that the country should go to Level 2 when the Level 5 restrictions are lifted. “People need to see benefit at the end of the process.”

Speaking on Newstalk Breakfast, Mr O’Callaghan said he had opposed going to Level 5 as he thought no matter what steps were taken the numbers would go up again when the restrictions were lifted.

The consequences of the disease were known, but it was only now that the negative impact of the lockdown was being experienced, he said.

He wanted to see restrictions lifted so young people could go back to their pastimes.

Health crisis for the elderly.

Social and economic crisis for everyone else.

The majority of which are completely healthy.

NPHET are big time pissed off tonight.

Some of Holohans colleagues are saying "This is the wrong decision, we will be back at square one in January, we are heading for another lockdown"

Why is another lockdown inveitable? Just tell NPHET to go away.

45577 recorded cases in the last 6 months (under the age of 85).
250 deaths from recorded cases in the last 6 months (under the age of 85).

Considering the farcical test and trace system, I'm not sure why cases are being used as any sort of barometer for how serious a health crisis covid is. 250 deaths in 6 months objectively says it all.

Upset wet pub owner on Virgin News. Really frustrated with the lack of clarity and the level of discrimination against wet pubs.

The vintners association is calling it a political decision from FG, FF and The Green Party.

Total disgrace.

They are not the only source of advice to government but have come to believe that they are. Further restrictions depend on how the numbers go over Christmas and how soon we'll see see vaccinations available.

Royale with Cheese

Lol, NPHET telling us we're heading for another lockdown, if they had their way it would have been level 5 all through the winter. If it happens we at least get a few weeks respite at a time of year when people are least likely to follow their restrictions anyway.

RobitTV

No remarks from Holohan tonight according to Virgin News.

He cant lecture people tonight, poor guy. He must be in a foul mood after his advice was ignored.

Sending my thoughts and prayers.

Dempo1

Just extraordinary stuff, so Retail re opening, good news, Restaurants and Gastro pubs, good, wet pubs, no, not so good, Gym's, cinemas etc open, good.

A number of catches though, we're exactly are all the staff coming from, particularly Hospitality? Who in their right mind is going back for at best 5 weeks work in ****e conditions only to be told, sorry we're locking down 1st January, even if there's a less strict lock down, I wager a lot of hospitality and Retail closing for good in January anyway, they'll attempt to recoup something for the next few weeks but the damage is done.

dalyboy

Some university professor on the news earlier loosing the rag.

She can’t understand why we are coming out of a lockdown when it’ll ultimately lead to us needing to lockdown in January again

I’ve to learn to stop turning on the tv really. I can actually feel my own brain shrinking every time I audibly consume the anti logic coming from my tv.

Really, the other pub owner was the clown who was caught out a few weeks back when crowds gathered outside pubs in South William Street, he claimed it was a disgrace but was then asked had he been serving, yes (a few regulars), the same clown said if pubs were open, crowds would not gather, absolute garbage and he's also VP of vintners federation.
