Tie your belongings in a patterned oversize tea towel to the end of a well chosen stick, rest over your shoulder and don your best pair of boots.
Steal away from your home under cover of darkness , never to return, a life wandering the high ways and by ways ahead of you now.
God speed
In the beer all day. Strolled through a bog for a house party for the host to say outside the Door to 10 of us, canāt have it the father is concerned about covid.
Its a cod
There you go.
A part of me thinks alot of this mania over testing is for people to get time off work/school.
A clever way of dossing thatās bulletproof.
Thereās a lady at our place thatās been for a Covid test so many times I think Iāll congratulate her when she eventually gets the positive
Theres no need to think it. Itās a fact. This whole āclose contactā thing was a godsend to a few lads of a Monday morning if they werenāt in the humour for a bit of work.
We have one of those heroes too, four times in 2021 he was a close contact and twice he had symptoms, always negative (thank God).
Yep.In the early stages,a lad I work with had a temp of 37.2.
Rang in and got a week off.
Nothing wrong with the lazy cunt.
Didnāt you need a official message from the HEE to get time off? That was always the case in the public sector anyway, canāt imagine private were more lenient
Ah yeah , the first two weeks of December when we were at our absolute peak work wise at least 6 were down at any one stage or another. There was one week there where I was in Cork of a Monday and had to go to Cavan on the Tuesday
Finger in the dam stuff there Mike.
Absolutely. And I was still on the go until yesterday between various different houses. Iām sitting here now and I wont do as much as scratch my hole for the day
Nope.just told to produce a negative pcr.
Which he did a week later.
The poor auld crater 
Off to Wexford now after another round of negative antigen tests. Weāve been testing ourselves thrice daily for the last week. Looking forward to meeting up with family and friends, but weāre limiting ourselves to contact with those whoāve taken the booster shot, or are children and therefore ineligible to participate.
Iām finding Venn diagramming of a particular future situation really helpful. Worth setting aside an hour the night before a particular meet up and having a clear picture of the gathering.
Thatās great news.
I hope you and the family are well.
Iāll give Tony Hoolahan one thing, hangovers are way easier to handle with early closing.
Day drinking is tremendous fun alright
Had ye a good of it yesterday? 56 teams is great going
I find it hilarious and disturbing lads that have to go out four hours earlier to get as much booze into them as possible. Funny and pathetic.
