Coronavirus - Here for life (In high population density areas)

Fair enoughā€¦ I enjoy beer/ale/stout/wine/whiskey and would have a couple of drinks of one of them over a weekend more so to enjoy the taste than any effects.

My auld lad would have maybe 2 or 4 tins of beer at home most evenings, he previously would have went to the local pub for this but between drink driving and the pub changing hands and him not being a fan of the new proprietor he has forgone it and would maybe only go once a month now . He was an industrial pipe fitter by trade and would have spent a good shot of his working life staying in digs or lodgings and in that game it becomes a habit as there is fuck all else to do after a hard days graft. I have a brother in that game as well, he wouldnā€™t be one for home drinking but Iā€™d say he would have 4 to 8 pints every night of the week when he is working away.

Niether would have many hobbies from being in that game and working away a good bit, boredom is a tough habit to break Iā€™d say.

Was never one for drinking at home or house parties, always preferred a proper pint and a proper pint and maybe the odd bit of handclapping toe tapping music. Maybe about once a month or so I will put away a bit of whiskey at home but I find most other drinks either affect my sleep or leave me feeling very seedy the next morning and not worth the hassle.

One of my main reasons for rarely drinking at home is 2 or 3 doesnā€™t give me much of a buzz and messes with my sleep. Any more and Iā€™d be groggy the next day. Not worth the hassle without the social aspect whereas Iā€™d willingly fork out ā‚¬20 for 3 pints and a whinge after work in a local bar.

I had 25 mad dogs one night in Poland and wrecked the hostel.

we were out building a snowman there and i was chatting to a vet who told me " he read about the epidemiolgy of the thing and there is no way schools are back by september"

x3 carling with MOTD on saturday with the newspaper and maybe 1 or 2 with MOTD2 on the Sunday then- its a grand way to unwind, I never understood how a fella could be bored , youā€™d wonder what lads are at sometimes- and then saying they are drinking due to boredom, jesus

+1. I like the taste of an auld pint of Guinness if I havenā€™t had one in a while, but a few of them satisfy me. I think the pub is more about going for a pint/Baileyā€™s Coffee/Strawberry Daiquiri to catch up with friends and itā€™s nice to read our respective phones in silence whilst sitting beside each other. I wouldnā€™t be one to buy a range of different craft beers to drink at home. I havenā€™t had a beer at home in over a year Iā€™d say.

Invoking the Stephen Ireland approach, nice

It doesnā€™t make the current vaccine useless but may weaken its impact.

Iā€™ll take that.

Would they name another vaccine? If you got the first vaccine would you be able to get the second vaccine ,?
