    I’d shake hands. Even with an anti-vaxxer. But it’s more a courtesy thing than anything else. If someone extends their hand to you, it’s just a natural reflex not to refuse. The plague is over in Ireland, for the moment, and hopefully for good. Having said that, there’s still no harm in boiling an anti-vaxxer if you can. Keep society clean.

    Maybe it is my habit of spitting first will put people off?

    I am a ‘rustic’ gay after all.

    Outside Co. Wicklow obviously- I don’t have veneered teeth.

    you know that handshake where they suggestively tickle your palm with appropriate leer….ah the good old days

      Ah here! … I thought everyone knew about the tickly handshake and the consequences of engaging in such behaviour!

      I was going to mention the Freemason handshake but Chris on a subsequent thread gives an insight: Ah HRH [Updated]

    I used to like the journal years ago. But incrementally they got more and more woke and biased bringing on journalists and commentators that more often than not towed the line of official Ireland. It also heavily restricted comments critical of this.
    Their recent brainchild , the “good information project” doesn’t allow public discussion on the controversial topics discussed there.
    Perhaps it’s an indication of what they consider to be good. That the information and views they present are to be blindly accepted and believed by the public and not discussed or questioned in any form.
    It’s not obvious to me where they are looking for donations on their website. I would be grateful if someone could point it out. I imagine that most of their revenue comes from advertising, grants etc. I know that all 4 of the past couple of years, the government through the hse has been a major advertiser. Perhaps this is part of the reason that so many of their opinion pieces may as well have been written by the government press office!

          You’re correct. Playing with peoples perceptions of reality until they give up & unquestioningly accept the central ‘narrative’.

    Journal Article:

    Man Dies In Accident

    A man has been reported dead somewhere because something happened. The victim has previous convictions for crimes. Gardai say they’re following a line of enquiry.

    Reporter (“reporter” hahahahaha) Susan Buckley-Doyle-Maddigan-Ryan.

        I was gonna but then you’d have thought it was me. I couldn’t just muster the correct irony/sarcasm balance

    Remember at the start of the pandemic when it was realised people dont wash their hands that often or even at all ever? Tedious and unhygienic boomer gesturing.

    1. K.Cavan

      If people have not been washing their hands enough but we’re still here, people have been washing their hands enough, CJ. No need to wet the bed, again.

    Probably says more about the type of sheeple that read The Journal.ie than anything else. I mean, who’d want to shake hands with a Journal.ie reader anyway? Their friends?
    Hahahahaha!
    As if.
