Pubs opening

I wouldn’t see the point in opening schools again now until September

So people can get back to work would be the main reason. Also kids seem to be the lowest risk of all. If you can’t send them back, you can’t send anyone back

In another world, there’d have been some amount of cans drank along the canal outside The Barge this evening.

Lads if you go the pub and you try and social distance you should be fucked out wearing your underpants.

I don’t think there is anybody off work as their kids can’t go to school. That was a red herring. Most will certainly rather send kids to a relative or friend to mind them than into a class and teacher who they don’t have a clue where they’ve been. I think the schools could open but most parents wouldn’t send them. There are serious logistical problems it will take months to iron out. (typical Ireland but that’s the way it is)

I’ll do babysitting for ye lads.

Bring your owns cans for the championship

The cans of Guinness will be very hard drunk. Might be a job for the large bottles

[Julio_Geordio]

In a previous life I’d be sitting there right now with a “don’t tell Tony he thinks we are at home flag”

You couldn’t drink Guinness from a can surely? The thought has never even crossed my mind. Bring a plastic glass and give out about it, as per tradition on match days

[myboyblue]

Large bottles of Cider by the neck.

Oh yes.

A couple of days. If Paddy goes balloobas it will be game over.

Pixie headed scoop monkeys will be face down in the street in hours.

I hope you’re right, huge part of what we are. Missing them now, along with sport and live music. Home entertaining will get bigger, right time of year too for barbecues, sipping a few cans out the back. Pubs pre Covid have already lost a generation of pre drinkers, now in their 20s. Some of the older clientele may not be in a hurry back either, I can definitely see many small to medium sized pubs gone forever. As you say, 6 months time might see some normality return, a bit optimistic I’d say

Yeah - I’m not suggesting that things will be back to normal but will look very different.

[Bod95]

That shit needs to stop a press release each day would suffice instead of Dr Cervical Check pontificating every evening.

Licences available for 30k at moment. Were 55k a few months back. And 150k a few years back.

[The_Most_Infamous]

Pubs are a thing of the past lads, a couple of drinks with your dinner in a restaurant with a mask or two on now is the future…outside of course as well.

You wouldn’t be one for getting out all that often I’d say

[mick_jones]

A huge issue now is the value of the premises, almost worthless today. Went absolutely nuts up to the crash, some plunge since. A medium sized pub in a provincial town worth up to 5 or 600k then, now only the value of a site, maybe sell to a developer for offices / coffee shop (the new pub). Publican’s retirement route non existent now

[PhattPike]

@Batigol it sounds like we are gonna have to do some serious dranking to keep these boys in business when we OIUTF.

[Julio_Geordio]

You’d surely make money off an offy at the minute?
