social distancing gone, masks gone
And Paddy still has the ruler out!
I think lads need to calm down a bit. Rural pubs wonât take any notice of the time limit and in urban pubs thereâs no harm moving every 2 hours or so anyway if you donât have to buy food.
It should of course be a short term measure while people in their 20s get vaccinated but 3 weeks or a month of it would be grand.

Itâd be grand for a few weeks but when do they plan on getting bck to normal? I can see us limping away at it for months.

Thatâs the issue.
The UK will have lifted all Covid restrictions on this in 3 and a bit weeks.

You could address that to any topic of discussion related to COVID on here over the past 12 months, but especially the past 3-4 months. Its understandable lads want it done, but its incredibly foolish to think its thats simple. Pubs will do their own thing for the most part and this will all fall away in time.
The whole point of pubs is you can just rock up whenever you feel like a drink. Booking, limited seating, time limits make it a rigmarole that wonât be worth it for most lads.

The women will love it though.
Will they?
Sure they already have that with restaurants.
I think theyâll be happy in both/either.
The decor will be all important (and the availability of a cocktail menu).
I wouldnât be panicking really. No rural pub will enforce them restrictions. Soon it will translate across society.
Thatâs pathetic. Ffs just fine him and move on.

Jay Bourke wonât like that. After all heâs done for the country! Can anyone recall his famous line when the tax man caught up with him?
Dunno. Theyâd be worried about the rain and wind and their hair when they are sent outdoors because the pub is at its max indoor capacity of 10 people.
No law broken. Just guidelines. Itâs an interesting precedent.
Theyâre not allowed book a table?
They are but after 105 minutes theyâll have to find their way to another place and have another table booked. Itâs not conducive to anybodyâs idea of a good night out. Even women.
Its not that simple.
There is no one pushing hard enough for a roadmap to full normality.
The likes of Timmy Dooley (whoâs a nice fella btw) being trotted out on national TV twice a week saying âwe need to live with masks/social distancing even after the vaccination programmeâ.
Its pretty much guaranteed that there will be full stadiums all over the UK for the start of next season in Premier League/Football League while here, we are âhopefulâ of a quarter full Croke Park for the All Ireland Final.
