I won't , but good luck to you! I want my sons to go out and be normal twenty something's again. They have abided by the rules and been pretty good about it all. They need their freedoms back and start having a bit of fun with their friends same as I did at their age.

I'm going to go to every single gig within a 50 mike radius of me, even if it's on a Monday night, even if it's a Dire Straits tribute band, I'm fucking going.

TheVampiresWife · 22/02/2021 17:51

50 mile. I don't know who mike is but he's very welcome to join me!

Nor us, not drinkers anyway and just because you can do something doesn’t always mean it’s a good idea. I don’t want more restrictions back.

freddiesmoustache · 22/02/2021 17:54

Apart from the people who now have no money due to losing their jobs or those who now have serious mental health problems. No doubt some will be out partying but far from the whole country.

StrawberryLipstickStateOfMind · 22/02/2021 17:54

Oooh @IceCreamAndCandyfloss you sound like fun!

Justmuddlingalong · 22/02/2021 17:54

I'm not much of a drinker, but it'll be lovely to have the pub option again. 🥂

Magnificentmug12 · 22/02/2021 17:55

Yes yes yes!!!

I don’t even drink but plan on being constantly drunk this summer! 😂

We have mass vaccination and conditions which have to be met before each stage of reopening - it's not like last summer when things were eased too soon and in a slapdash manner, and no vaccine. I'm cautiously optimistic that this time the end really is in sight, thanks heavens.

Friday 25 th June should be made ' freedom day'
Or some such.
The pubs and clubs and restaurants could make it into something big. They could start to recoup the money they have lost and keep up the feel good factor. Those that have survived all this of course.

Well I see it as a twofold positive operation. I frequent the various local drinking establishments & get merry. Whilst doing so I actively support the recovery of those much-loved businesses. It’s a win win really

Same here. I'll even go see Mike. I don't give a fuck!
AllMyPrettyOnes · 22/02/2021 18:06

Can't wait. I'll be at a nightclub the day the doors open with DP!

I’m coming with you! Actually, I’ve seen a Dire Straits tribute band, they were bloody good! 🤟🏻
SeldomFollowedIt · 22/02/2021 18:09

I can’t contain my excitement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the80sweregreat · 22/02/2021 18:10

I'm old and can't drink much these days, but I'll get some wine in and toast you all!
I really hope this day does come and the R rate stays down enough and it all bloody works out.
I really really hope so!

OliveTree75 · 22/02/2021 18:11

I can't wait GinGrin

IHaveBrilloHair · 22/02/2021 18:12

Well I only have a sip of sherry each Christmas so I won't.
fuck that, I'll be hammered

the80sweregreat · 22/02/2021 18:12

Ps, I love Dire Straits. Was playing some of their hits on the weekend.
Ds2 wants to go to a gig. Just go out and have a bit of fun. It's what life should be about.

Rasclut · 22/02/2021 18:12

I think I'll cry with joy at my first rave

itsgettingwierd · 22/02/2021 18:13

I don't drink but I'm looking forward to being able to go out and about and stop at a cafe for a drink if I wish - and if it's a hot summers day even being able to go inside!
