Title: Another Lockdown ?
Post by: John m on November 14, 2021, 09:54:33 pm
I wonder if there is a big outbreak in South County Dublin among the Rugby lot will that force a lockdown if they are taking up the substitute beds being held in reserve in Black Rock and Beacon Hospitals .The clue might be in Dr Leo or Dodger Donnolly not on the radio today Mouthy Harris has also gone missing in action .Saw a good few busses picking up Rugby Fans yesterday and not a facemask to be seen .Ridiculous when you get a request for a taxi with a screen from somebody who spent the day in a crowd of 55,000 then went to the pub .

I reckon there is a good chance that they will close the pubs today fer a few weeks and re-open fer Chrimbo.
I think you jumped too soon on that bet John M !

Last night, Monday Nov 15th, was my worst night since the pox started, and I expect it to be slow until December 15th.

On the day when the Gov reduces the PUP they are asking people to work from home. You couldn’t make it up.

My point is that they are telling people to work from home yet on the other hand forcing those who are at home presently on PUP to go out to work,when the cases are rising by the minute

Lot's of competing interests for limited resources. The delivery men are definitely the ones getting the shit end of the stick at present.

There was never going to be a falling out over the definition of the bet, had there been any ambiguity then we would have settled as gentlemen or voided.
Either way I think now (after today's news) that you took the right choice to void, I can't see them closing the pubs before the new year, I had a different idea yesterday.

That's yet another 'Curve ball' that they have thrown at us, at least this time around I have some experience of how to deal with it, fer night time drivers you simply start 2 hours earlier when folk are going in to town and finish 2 hours earlier when we have them all tucked up in bed, by 2am the streets will be bare.
