The idea behind having to book to go into a nightclub is so they will be able to know who was in the club for close contact tracing .So what happens if somebody in a Nightclub is Covid positive ?Does that mean that the hundreds of other people in the club were close contacts and have to self isolate .Have My Taxi ever contacted a driver to inform them that a passenger they picked up has turned out to be positive .So what happens if somebody in Coppers is positive and we pick up a My Taxi job from Coppers are we close contacts of a close contact .The idea of tickets being issued for Covid Tracing seems ridiculous.
When Ireland Play New Zealand at lansdown and the All Blacks do the Hacka ,is that a Dance so will we need a covid ticket as well as a match ticket to go to the game ?If they play the National Anthems is that now a Music Venue ?

Here is where it gets complicated you dont need a ticket for a Music event as long as you are seated ,so when we stand for the National anthem are we breaking the law .

Some nutjob somewhere seems to be making up the rules as they go along. The complete u-turn on face coverings was a bit eyebrow raising ! The 15Euro compulsory food thing was a complete joke ! The "You can queue at the bar in an orderly fashion while maintaining social distancing" was just laughable ! And then some boffin comes up with this masterplan !
You wouldn't see the likes of it at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party !!

Dr Hooligan now says that the Vax is not doing the job they thought it would and its nearly 50/50 between needled and not needled that are infected in Hospital .I think the Government are adopting a let it loose policy in the hope that the numbers will sort themselves out .Baffeling that some people are being offered a booster but not Nurses or Doctors working on what they use to call the front line .Wonder who is calling the shots is it Hooligan or Government .Think me pub Lockdown Bet is back in play even though its a long shot but last week it looked dead and buried .

..... Think me pub Lockdown Bet is back in play even though its a long shot but last week it looked dead and buried .
I would agree John M, last week I was counting me cash but it ain't looking so Rosy right now !
The only thing in my favour is that the Gov just cannot afford to put the leisure industry workers back on the PUP !

If there's another lockdown,I might apply for a third enterprise support grant

PUP was a big mistake Dr Leo trying to buy a snap election .Its Unemployment Assistance or Benifit .I wouldnt rule out a snap General election .Eamo has to get the Dail to agree on sectoral cuts .Cant see the rural TDs supporting big cuts for Farmers plus the CEPA vote .Now might be as good as it gets for Government Parties .I notice Dr Leo is great is missing in action .If things were great he would be claiming credit for it same with the Harris Early School Leaver all FG TDs are hiding leaving this up to the Dosser Donnely and Jack Lynches Ghost to sort it out with the help of Nepet and Dr Hooligan waiting in the wings to be assassinated once again like they blamed him for the Womens Cervical Cancer mess.

DR LEO arsecovering again....Leo Varadkar said that because of vaccinations, 2,000 to 3,000 daily cases do not mean what they did last winter, but that further restrictions could have to be implemented.
"Nobody can rule it [another lockdown] out. As the CMO said the other day, It can't be taken off the table, but we do believe that we can avoid it," Mr Varadkar said.

It's all a loada bollocks.

The hospitality sector has been warned that compliance with Covid-19 guidelines is “essential” if the Government is to continue with the “current level of openness”.
The industry was this evening called to a meeting by the Department of Taoiseach which will take place next week and warned a “collective effort” is needed to reduce the “burden of disease and mortality of this latest wave”.
In an email to the sector, the Taoiseach’s department warned that it is essential that there is a “full understanding” by restaurant, pub and nightclub owners of how the virus transmits and what causes a “potential outbreak or super spreader event”.
They were told that if there current “level of openness” is to continue the hospitality industry must ensure compliance with Covid-19 guidelines is “considered best practice rather than minimum standard to protect communities”.
{Picture This are due to play Dublin Castle New Years eve all tickets sold out .I asked the Man who hires casual labour as he hires in Security and Barriers for events could he get me tickets ?He said no they had not yet been contracted to provide either .Make what you will of that are they expecting a lockdown like last year just after Christmas ?
-
How many tickets do you want?

Anyone buyin or sellin?

I'll take 2's on fer a Deuce to win a Ton that says Irish pubs open on the 26th July and stay open, (bet ends Jan 1st 2022) if it is a day or Two later then you still win.
I will take that Ken ....
Grand, we are ON, a Deuce to win a Ton that I say all Irish pubs will be allowed to reopen on 26th July and will not close before the year end. To clarify, if further restrictions like the outdoor only rules are again enforced then you are the winner John M.
It is a bit 'Grey' John M, but I dislike pulling out of a bet especially when it seems Not to be going in my favour.
So in an attempt to clarify the bet, if total pub closure or even outdoor only pub rules are reinstated before 1st Jan (with 2 days grace) till 3rd Jan, then you are the winner.
I think that you are in the 'Cat-Bird' seat at the moment and in your position then I would not be looking fer a void bet, but if you wish to Void then I will comply till 11.59pm Mon 8/11/2021.

My thoughts being that the Gov with the current pox figures would like to close the pubs again.
But they just cannot afford to put the leisure industry workers back on PUP.
Nor can they enforce an 'Outside only' pub policy in the middle of the winter.

I dont think any Gov. has come near,to sorting the Covid problem out…We have thrown more money per capita head ,at it.The results show a lot of waste….Where do we go from here?
-
Ill take the VOID .I was talking to a Nurse who said there is a huge problem with Carets .If a carer gets the virus or is a close contact they must self isolate and they can claim covid coin .The problem then is the Patient they were looking after are being hospitalised in many cases not counted as Covid patients .She says this is why they want to introduce antigen tests for close contacts .Dr Hooligan is not in favour of these tests as they return a lot of false positives .At present if somebody in the household is positive the whole family should isolate .But with the tests they can get the all clear .Hospitality are going in to see the Ghost of Jack Lynch this week about not looking at certs .I was out last Tuesday and in the main venue I was the only one asked if I had a cert .Looks like Government gave us enough rope to hang ourselves .If or when lockdown comes it could be for a combination of issues .

Grand, Void it is.
Personally I think you took the wrong option.
The case numbers are getting too high to be ignored.
Anyway Void it is.

WASTING MONEY /wait till they add up the cost of The Gretta Dream .Retrofitting Gaffs,Electric Cars .Green walk ways and cyclepaths .Poor Eamo hasent got the courage of his convictions to go to Glasgow he is self isolating .Hasent got the balls to cut the number of Sheep,Pigs or Cattle on farms.Listening to Eamo and Leo and Jack Lynches Ghost talking about EVs that are not available for sale before 2030 and Gaffs Retrofitted when you cant find a Plasterer for under 300 a day if you can find one .Listening to all the bolloxology .What about retrofitting Hotels and Officeblocks and Schools .Health and safety and Unions wont allow people carry on business if the place is covered in Scaffold .When it comes to wasting money Covid Coid will only be chump change .GET A GUN .Plus History has a way of repeating itself Little French bloke looking to pick a fight with Britain how much of your hard earned coin will that cost .Think in the end we will just live with Covid it dosent look like its really a killer only 5 million deaths in two years out of a world population of 7 billion .Its the cost of saving the planet that will kill more people .How much more money will it cost to roll out the booster .

It was like the declaration's were reopened Ken. I use to hate that when I bet Anti Post horse that wasent in the original field joining in it changed the bet .Hopefully we wont shut down but reading between the lines Hooligan would shut the lot but we cant afford it .Lynches Ghost would love to shoot the Dodger Donnolly Leo is playing both sides against the Middle ,Mary Lou told her Army Council Meeting she would inject the Nurses again again .The real unknown is Protests Farmers due up to Dublin in two weeks then the Hauliers due to bring the country to a stand still on the 24th .Government renewed emergency powers last Tuesday they could lock us down or introduce limited restrictions to prevent further protests.The country is leaderless nobody knows what the fuck is occuring .

Tax the PUP at source next time, rather than have to pay most of it back as income earned ?
