The Swedes are odd as fuck. Chewing tobacco is a common pastime in Stockholm. The long days in summer and long nights in winter has them driven buck ape.
If I’m honest - the pub thing I can get over, I can have a few pints with a meal, I miss the craic of a hape of pints but ultimately I’m better off without the pub than with it. Sports wise, I doubt any intercounty will go ahead, but playing a bit of hurling & football with the club fills that void.
Travel is the big thing I’m missing. Trips to Iceland, Spain & Morocco cancelled so far. Should be lining up a work trip to Norway in September to kick off a project, one of those trips that would actually be a bit of craic, before trenches are dug and the thing becomes a grind. No idea when I’ll be able to get off this godforsaken island again.
That’s just nasty. @PhattPike was just having a little whinge. It’s a national pastime. Plenty of room for you here PP. You could fit a family of 4 in behind @iron_mike’s TV sure.
He’s sounding like all these cunts who fucked off the last time the going got tough. We didnt need them, we dont need him if thats how he’s going to be. Morocco me bollix.
For essential journeys though. I’m not going to go off swanning around Greenland just because I need a holiday. Although I’d love to and there’s a good chance Greenland would be fine, unless the polar bears are riddled. I was just having a little whinge guys, I think I will actually survive without Morocco.
I wouldn’t let what I see or hear on CNN or from Matt Cooper put me off going to America. I have luckily had the chance to see many countries but America has a draw to it thats hard to explain especially if you like the open road and roadtripping. There is nothing quite like it.
I can’t get over the pub thing too. I want them open cos I want to have the option to go and because it’s unfair on publicans to single them out when they’ve not caused a single case.
I miss travel too. Big time. Having a holiday to look forward to really brightens ya up on a busy day.
