Chaps, Iām only dipping in and out of this thread so am missing a lot of the discourse.
My father was born in 1944, just as World War 2 was coming to an end. I remarked to him that this was probably the one event that was going to have the most profound impact globally since that war. He said he couldnāt argue against that.
I, like the rest of the country, thought (and probably still think) that Simon Harris is a little weasel, although nobody can handle the health portfolio in Irish politics (it ruined Mary Harneyās career, and despite what you all might think of her, anyone in political circles will recognise that she was a decent and honest politician if a bit of a battle axe, whose biggest downfall was thinking she could fix the health service). Anyway, Iāve been impressed with Harris in terms of his interviews etc in past few weeks. Now, it might just be that heās doing well with a microphone in front of him, or perhaps itās a case that when the pressure of government is actually off, that maybe heās doing some use. Itās probably the former, but I remarked on this to my mother. She used to work for a cardiologist who thought that Harris was a useless little shit but even this guy has been impressed by him.
Anyway, apologies for rambling lads. Just two little tidbits of information from conversations with my parents. Stay safe all. Iām WFH from tomorrow and have the utmost respect for our forumites still on the frontline
Itās time you relaxed a little because you have yourself wound up in a knot. I am fully aware of the dangers and possibilities. You are treating them as certainties.
Iāll do as much as I personally can. Itās up to everyone else to do the same.
The last thing we need now is to start throwing blame and look for apologies. We need to try and get this thing under control before we even think about that
Since the baby was born, almost a year ago (birthday next weekend cancelled), Iāve often gone two or three weeks not going to the pub or whatever without even really thinking about it. But now that someone has told me I canāt go, Iām actually foaming at the mouth thinking about a pint of draft
