Itās a soulless looking spot alright.
Thereāll be no need for a ā¬9 meal when the doors are welded shut for the summer.

My local at home are developing their outside space apparently. That probably means a few fold up chairs and tables on a unlevel piece of gravel and stones. There may be the odd big umbrella or wooden bench to be seen.
It sounds like heaven right now.

it must be shite altogether not being able to drop in for a yarn ,a jar and a sconce at the paper paper, especially if ones used to having a pint regularly,when I used booze Friday night was something to look forward to, even though I havenāt had a pint in yrs,I still enjoy dropping in for a bit of craic

Are they even going to allow people indoors in the first place? Recent pronouncements would make you think they probably wonāt allow any indoor hospitality.
Itās the thing I miss most during the pandemic.
I used to love to head home at weekends. Arrive down Saturday around 1pm, greet my Mam and auntie at home, do a few chores, wander down the town to the local, have a few pints and back up to the house again early. The craic in the pub would be great as well as general chat about everything and anything. And if there is a bit of sport on all the better.
Sunday then potter around again at bits and pieces for while before some dinner and heading back east.
I know my Mam is really struggling at this stage with not seeing any of us. Iāll head this weekend - fuck the restrictions.

Have you been to Manor mate since Christmas?
Itās a shit show for your mam and all the other mams around,mental health is suffering - they have to bloody open up restaurant and pubs in some fashion,as alcohol sales in the uk and here have spiralled well over 40 pc atm.
Last week a neighbours daughter directly across the road attempted to cut her wrists, garda ambulance etc,
Thankfully it was a cry for help.
Pubs GAA and soccer need to start up ASAP

I agree ,and by all accounts suicide and suicidal attempts are spiralling in the Cork region so I presume itās the same nationally,kids especially teens need to mingle socially ,thatās where local sports clubs fill the void for those on the fringes socially,GAA especially is v inclusive
I am single and i am really feeling it at the moment. Have tinder etc but i am shoving on with regards meeting someone. Doing a good bit of exercise to keep me sane but its tough.

I feel very sorry for them.
Not helped by grouchy old ones giving young people grief as if they should be a bastion of sense at that age.
