Daily swim cools the head

artfoley · September 18, 2020, 2:28pm

and chills the bones!!

Corksfinedtboy · September 18, 2020, 2:36pm

Honestly no , I swim near daily in Roberts cove and can honestly say it’s still nice

artfoley · September 18, 2020, 2:37pm

my mother in law swims every day in the 40 foot and is immune to the cold. I’d swim weekly with madame in seapoint and it chills the bones and my mother in law says the water is nice and warm!

Corksfinedtboy · September 18, 2020, 2:43pm

She’s right I do the same , water temperature doesn’t change much ,and a lot of it is in the mind ie if you’re dreading it being cold it will be

I did once, but as Baz said, Live in Fingal once but leave before it makes you soft

Seriously, fuck em. I’d not let anyone stop me going swimming to the beach. Just go about your business.

flattythehurdler · September 18, 2020, 4:31pm

I’ve never seen @TheUlteriorMotive as animated as he has been the past couple of days. He’s positively seething.

Ah he took Phil Hogan’s demise very badly. He’s had a tough month.

Someone fucked a smoothie all over him today

I was reading a novel set in WW1 and it struck me how lads like @EstebanSexface would walk over the top of the trench as a military expert told him that was the best thing to do. It’s also why that kid won 22m in damages during week. Medics are not infallible any more than economists or politicians.

In truth I took a few days off this week and did a few jobs, arrange a bathroom renovation, (painted a front door (you saw that) and a bedroom (you won’t see that). There is a great sense of achievement in completing such tasks. I listened to radio as I worked and I started to apply my considerable mind to the state of our nation and the position we find ourselves in.

I don’t think they will, although they did the first time. It’s more that people were out enjoying themselves knowing there was a stretch of pain on the way.

flattythehurdler · September 19, 2020, 10:05am

Fuck that. Swim away mate.

Arthur · September 19, 2020, 10:33am

I don’t think there’s any suggestion by anyone they won’t be allowed swim in the sea.
Only six people allowed in each sea and from not more than three households.
Oceans will be allowed to accommodate 15 people once social distancing is maintained

I don’t know what to do with my holiday to Poland. I awake this morning to find that Poland is no longer on the green list, despite having a rate of about half of Ireland (so TFK says anyway).

I had a mate who was supposed to come with me but can’t now because he’s a civil servant and they won’t let him go to a non-green list country.

I also awake to my Mam giving me shit on whatsapp telling me not to go.

Flight and accommodation and all is booked, I’m not sure what to do. I’ll never live this down if I go and get sick.

Also this morning I was talking to a mate who knows a 34 year old guard in Castleblayney Co. Monaghan who has suffered nerve damage from the corovnavirus and now cannot close his hands tightly enough to lift things. This happened months ago and so far physiotherapy isn’t helping.

This green list was an awful balls from the get-go. I’d say a lot of people had tickets for Germany and Poland. You hardly had time to book your ticket before they were taken off the list again.

Go.

Don’t go.

The choice is yours.
