Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

No sheep pens at this. Mosh pit up the front for Ash. They were as happy as the people they were playing too. It was 521 days since they'd played in front of a live audience. Everyone was in great form. Even the weather played ball 😁

It's mental when you think about it, 521 days is a long bloody time. At least we have access to these events across the border or sea. It'll be a while yet here unfortunately.

I just find it amusing that you claim that there are zero covid restrictions or impositions on your normal life (except of course if you have to go to a shop! etc) but then you had to go to Northern Ireland to attend a live music gig because they are effectively banned down here. Going to a music event being a fairly normal occurrence in life.

Yes, a music festival should be a normal occurrence in life but I don't go to music festivals every day. It's not part of my daily routine. If I'm lucky enough to get to a couple or three music festivals in a year, that's three weekends out of fifty two.

The funny thing being is that poster saying covid restrictions play no part in their normal life, yet openly state they had to go to Northern Ireland to attend a music gig because they are effectively banned down here. 😂

I go to this festival every year. It's normal to me.

Also, I didn't say Covid restrictions play no part in my normal life. What I actually said was that there wasn't a myriad of restrictions on every aspect of my life.

What you actually said was:

"I could go through a normal day without encountering ANY restriction."

I go to that festival every year. I wasn't forced to leave the country. There was no inconvenience to me in any way whatsoever.

I know there's nothing wrong with what you quoted. I can (and have and do) go through days without encountering any restrictions. What's the issue?

Some days I dont go to the shop or pub or gym so I dont encounter the covid restrictions - that does not mean that there are no restrictions on my life.

Honestly your argument is the most pedantic thing since... I dunno, the dancing ban?

So you'd agree that there isn't a myriad of restrictions on every aspect of your life. Bingo.

Yes...it's somewhat pedantic. I prefer to call it accurate.

That's not what an ombudsman does.

But you're not being accurate. Your claim was that you can go through days of your life without encountering ANY covid restrictions, which you are now trying to pivot to "there isn't a myriad of restrictions on every aspect of your life". Even your original claim you have to caveat it by saying that you have to avoid going to shops for it to be true and acknowledge you can't do basic things in Ireland like go to a gig or have a cup of coffee indoors in a café etc. without encountering restrictions.

Honestly this is sillier than the fella claiming there was no regulations or restrictions on dancing in Ireland because you can technically dance around your own living room.
