      Man who did science in college – rejects wearing mask and thinks it might be possible for magnets to stick to people after vaccination… somebody’s money was wasted…

      1. Micko

        Pfft…

        T’was the 90’s. Free education time.

        Only tax payer money wasted. :)

        Where are ya getting that magnet bit from?

        The mask thing drives you mad doesn’t it.

        A year today you’ve been made wear them. August 10th.
        How do you think that’s going? When do you think you’ll give it up?

          1. Micko

            Oh yeah.

            When I said that I’d take Frank at his word, coz he seemed like a trustworthy bloke.

            Well done. You showed me I guess

          2. Micko

            You trawled through two months of posts, just in a vain attempt to catch me out.

            But yeah “I’m shown up”

            Nice to know you remember every single thing I say though.

          3. Oro

            No I didn’t. We had had a back and forth about it on that thread, (my memory is clearly better than yours) and I remembered Frank’s name so I googled it it literally took all of 5 seconds.

          4. Oro

            Well you also believe that magnets were sticking to peoples arms so unfortunately that’s fairly meaningless.

    Kellie, as a frontline worker, is asking those celebrating to adhere to social distancing practices.
    https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/olympic-medallists-harrington-and-walsh-land-in-dublin-airport-1169544.html
    “If you’re out celebrating, just remember to stay safe and keep your social distance; we aren’t out of the woods with Covid-19 yet and we need to stick together as a community and look out for each other. I’m looking forward to seeing you all again safely in the coming weeks and months, take care of yourselves and each other.”

      An excellent win – well done Kellie.

      But should we be listening to someone unqualified when it comes to Covid restrictions?

      You’re all big fans of the “where’s your medical degree” and “listen to the experts”.

      Even someone pulled this card on SOQ only yesterday – completely unchallenged.

      “I wonder where SOQ got their degree in immunology, medicine, and microbiology from.”

      I wonder where Kellie got her’s from…

      ;P

          1. scottser

            What, you walk in to a room, fart loudly and then leave?
            The girl wins a gold medal and you make it about you. Seriously lad, get a grip.

          2. Micko

            That’s a fair argument.

            In fairness, there’s been several posts over the last few days about Kellie and all stayed on point. Fair play.

            I just think it’s worth pointing out that everyone seems to have forgotten about Covid.

            Especially when people condemn other mass gatherings and not this one.

            It doesn’t make any sense.

      1. millie bobby brownie

        Oh, name names Micko. Own it.

        Otherwise ask your wife to mind your balls for you

          1. SOQ

            When has such a personal decision which does not affect you been such an issue Millie?

            You being such a close neighbour to the then Marcus de Brun GP practice of course.

        1. Oro

          Toe curling stuff. Can you imagine what she looks like from off camera, sitting there in the car park screaming at her phone lol.

          1. Papi

            Micko convinces the whole place about covid, is crowned a hero, retires forever from the internet.
            The end.
            Oh, wait.

        ‘But should we be listening to someone unqualified when it comes to Covid restrictions?’

        Good heavens. What an EXCELLENT question.

    1. Daisy Chainsaw

      Nobody asks for a civic reception, it’s offered to you by civic authorities and should be treated as an honour. I was invited to one a few years back as part of a group I volunteer with. Details of the ceremony were recorded in a book dating back centuries, which may not be a big deal to some, but it is to those recieving it.

  3. GiggidyGoo

    One of those two has done more for this country that the other will ever hope to do. That’s Kellie of course.

  4. ce

    This morning on the government WhatApp – “Send out Jack to greet Kellie, name drop/congratulate her at every opportunity… just distract from the Merrion as much as possible”

  5. Gabby

    She won gold and she shared space on the open bus with a fellow Olympic boxer who didn’t bring home a medal. That’s gracious behaviour.
