Dozens of people queuing for the new Grafton Street toilets right now. Clearly a popular attraction. pic.twitter.com/EfTA3GhtKV

Yes.
I’ve seen her.
Thank you.
hehehehehehe
Hmmm!
Would you like to share with the rest of the class please . . .
Bertie has a thing for red heads
Understatement.
Admittedly, so do I, so I can understand :-)
Redheads give Bertie a red head.
MUGS!…or disposable cups, which ever you prefer.
Outlets won’t let you use your own cup. It’s a hygiene thing at the moment so we all have to accept disposables.
I’d say the spent a pretty penny on those jacks
More like shooting up heroin.
Are the jacks the new Bewleys?
maybe we have all copped we have enough stuff, no ? ah well
The gorgeous ‘ceann rua’ in the fifth pic. can be seen in the second one with a tall blonde companion . She must have told the photographer to “go away and leave me alone” , or two words to that effect .
While I agree she is attractive, I cannot see how you get your second statement. The first pic she is further away (corrected for cup), so likely the lower one is the second shot. In it, she is smiling and seems to have a sunny disposition (pardon the almost pun). No indication of discontent.
The ‘she’ refers to the companion.
Ah, sorry I did not get that!
Maybe she just was shy? Maybe they had already parted ways?
is there some reason why masks are just not catching on in ireland?
My two cents: No real history of them, and our air quality has not required them much. This has been one driver in many asian cities.
Also, I can tell you from personal experience that initially they were very difficult to obtain, and a friend told me he had stopped looking by the time they did become more available. Now, a few locals are making them up and selling reusable non-medical masks in the local shops. Some very interesting designs, too.
That being said, they are much more prevalent in shops around my town now, though not many outdoors. I think we will likely see them more often from now, though, especially in normal flu seasons
yes, i heard they were very hard to find. Many telling me the prices on masks and hand sanitizer shot up too which is very cynical. All my patients would ask me if i had spare masks, i gave what I could without leaving myself exposed. But found it very frustrating that they were so hard to find, and so expensive. One lady told me basic EY surgical masks are €3 a pop in her pharmacy. Pure opportunism. The government should’ve sent masks to every household in the country. Theyre cheap as chips. They could’ve done it if they didnt waste millions of euro flying in dodgy wish dot com PPE.
Glad to know you’ve moved on from leaving yourself exposed to patients, Dr…
Vanessa- are you not a bit long in the tooth to be doing this multiple username bullpoo?
I’m Vanessa
And so is my wife
How dare you! I’m Vanessa.
F’ sake
Bullying
You are a bully
And a liar SOQ
And there is no denying it
Making a mistake and running with the herds might have given you some room to backtrack under the mask slipped amnesty
But almost two years now
And yere still at it
That makes ye cowards
im presuming SOQ has a video from a woman advocating for bullying and abuse over a period of years to put you right
I’m Antifa Vanessa and so is my wife
Mill, Scottie, and now ‘Taila 90
I know ye mean well
And try to lighten it up for me
But this has been an ongoing and well enabled agenda
Not content in shutting down Frilly Keane
My professional reputation, my livelihood, and my private life, didn’t miss out either
And they’re still at it
Bloody nosed keyboarders and lurkers
And cowards with tissue thin skin so they don’t like being made to look stupid
So they’ll keep at it
And at it
And at it
Until they just wear everyone down and you just give in
Or you just get so used to it you’ve built up an immunity
So please do me a favour
Stop trying to find the funny side
Make it harder for them
hahaha class Wario. as my daughters undesirable new friends (its a phase) would say; “verdy good”
“Some reason why masks are just not catching on in Ireland?”
Fair.
Masked men are part of our heritage.
I blame globalization.
Surely “Slight Return”. not like broadsheet to miss a trick?
And now I have an earworm!
Thanks Tarfton, fixed now.
Any shop where people have silly cloth coverings- do not get my business.
Seriously? Are you twelve? If people, especially staff want to wear something they feel helps them why not let them at it? Do you refuse to enter shops where staff wear a kuffiyeh or Bisht because you are not a Muslim? Or a shop where people wear a crucifix around their necks?
Nudist shops only for our SOQ!
they’d need towels then for when people have a seat
Interesting to see that over 1000 Irish academics and scientists have written an open letter to the government calling on them to revisit their stance on the lockdown – that it should continue until the virus has been completely eradicated.
Heartening (for me at least) to see that Irishman Ivor Cummins is a lockdown sceptic. Though a biochemical engineer by trade, he caused a bit of stir in the medical world with his previous research on the connection between a high carb diet, insulin resistance and heart disease.
This is his take on the open letter:
https://twitter.com/FatEmperor/status/1269993996199383040 (thread)
“The mass delusion of Ireland’s academics on #coronavirus dynamics – apparently still clueless in entrenched group-think
– when the seasonal respiratory dynamic has passed on its natural cycle, mostly by itself (community immunity etc)
A pitiful sight
– an embarrassment indeed”
Will be interesting how well (or not) the letter ages as this thing pans out.
Ivor Cummins?
Man, every mail from him must so straight into the SPAM folder. Any wonder he has no friends and is bitter.
I’m intrigued, tell me more..Why is he sending you mails? Why do you think he has no friends and is bitter? Do you know that sometimes we project misgivings about our own lives onto others as a type of psychological coping mechanism? Not saying it’s the case with you; for all I know , you know the guy personally.
But Cummins’ research challenged orthodox thinking on cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance among the medical establishment and his research was taken very seriously- so much so, in recent years he presented his insights at annual conferences for both the British Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation and also the Irish National Institute of Preventative Cardiology. He knows a thing or two about groupthink.
