 These new smaller green buttons are popping up beside the buttons on pedestrian crossings. Is it for some secret way to cross the road. Why do we need two buttons now?

Anyone?

      Anyone else feel that this was put in place when the narrative of “you can catch Covid from every surface” was still in play?

      And we’re just rolling ahead with it now still coz public money allocated etc

      Kinda reminds me of that old fable about the American’s engineering a super high tech solution to make a ball point pen work in space, where the Russians just used a pencil.

      Could you not just use your elbow to press the button if you’re worried about Covid?

        probably not a good example seeing that graphite and wood are flammable, can conduct electricity and you don’t really want pencil shavings getting stuck in the sensitive space equipment.

      These are for when you want to wave your hand in front of the sensor and feel like Obi Wan using the force to cross the road.

    People pressing the crossing button with their foot should be sent to the eastern front.
    I’ve watched adults with children doing this!!! thinking they are protecting themselves from the deadly Covids but smearing dogshit or god knows what else on a button that a child will in all likelihood press next.

    Quite disgracefully the government messaging on Covid lingering on surfaces has not changed and this is a very unhealthy and expensive fallout from that piece of misinformation.

    Clearly its a mind control device to make you have sex with masks, change your gender to maskstrated or some other moronic crap that this site peddles now.

    More #stormsheet.ie nonsense.

        Re: my earlier question – is 332 posts yesterday anywhere near a BS record ?
        Together with Saturday’s posts that’s over 550 for the weekend.
        Cliff edge ? What cliff edge ?

          Good afternoon Ten Pull Terry/Admiral Nelson/Charger Salmons etc etc.
          And it is afternoon in Cork, I know it’s morning time in the Caribbean, but of course that has nothing to do with you old boy.
          Talking of posts – what about this beauty of yours from that site you were booted off (I’ve had to change some of your vile words)
          What strange sexual preferences you have.Does that thing pleasure your wife with it’s trunk while it takes you up the shi%&er?
          Marvelous

    People who press the button and then immediately walk across anyway without waiting should be severely beaten.

    “Remember one, look for a safe place…” has stood the test of time for me. No need for pesky automation.

    Good ol Judge, have the badge to prove it. Well, had.
