Remarkable how the windows on the buses and trains are often left shut.
2 years on, any numpty could see the priority should be ventilation, with windows fixed open.
But no, let’s prattle on about useless poxy facemasks, and put the responsibility back on the citizen – rather than the state putting in place measures that would at least be someway effective.
What stupid cretins we have for supposed leadership.
The mismanagement of this was worse the longer it went on. Never again will I trust the 26 county state.
+ 1 bowl of spaghetti brained willy waving incompetent condescending geebags
Nothing I hate more than getting on a packed, steamy bus. A moving germ receptacle.
+ feet on seats…grown adults…filthy
Should we add back the occupied 6 counties then?
In Fairness, the Irish people collectively have this insane “Fear of the Draft”, so much so that I think Iron Maiden based a song on it. Even in the Summer, so many people just automatically close windows on the bus, in case the fresh air might kill them.
I get on the bus at a terminus and as I’m on it early I sometimes open every single window upstairs, and then watch as each person gets on and shuts the window/windows nearest to them. By the tenth or 11th stop almost all the windows are shut again.
Teenagers seem especially fearful of the dangers of fresh air, as are the lads down the back of the bus who for logistical reasons prefer to have the windows shut for ease of rolling spliffs, and then remain shut so the rest of the bus can enjoy the waft of Skunk in the morning. (Ah the 83 bus.. The joys of it all)
you think the Irish are bad, the French are obsessed about air currents reaching the neck, the scarf all year round is not about fashion ! Everytime they get sick they blame getting air to the neck.
I must have been french in a previous life then. Love a good scarf, me.
As an aside, I have had short hair for a good number of years and if there’s one thing I hate it’s a draft on the back of my neck.
I have a massive scarf collection lol plus a load of stoles, I like them to double as a blanket ;)
I managed to convince a friend of mine that stoles were so named because they were a blend of stoat and mole fur. She was appalled. I quickly recanted even though I kinda qanted to leave it out there. Sure lookit, a man has to make his own entertainment betimes…
Remember those dead real mink ones with the head and feet that rich oul wans used to wear?
aye, I convinced my sister I was an alien as a kid until her nightmares got me in big trouble….still fun while it lasted
Hey Eamon how about a new tax on masks !!!!!
