Ireland's Calling for Normal Life to Return, thread number 5

[eggandonion]

Unlinked because I can't remember how to do it, and can't find Help thing.

That's preschool ECCE incase you are wondering

@Iblinkedandiamold I'd say they'll all be back around the same time.
Who would have thought we'd be here a year later.

I know but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel. By September a lot of things should be back to normal as the most vulnerable hopefully will be vaccinated by then.

They keep adding bits of the tunnel!

It's an extended tunnel

And they might put a roundabout at the end so we can go back in again.
I'm now trying to believe that Johnson and Johnson vaccine will work....

I really want to be more optimistic, but I doubt we'll have everyone that needs it vaccinated by September. Even Stephen Donelly is rolling back on that now and saying that it wasn't a promise it was a hope! We just don't have a good track record for delivery of big projects - look at the disaster that is the new childrens' hospital... I hope I'm wrong. I also really really hope that April & May are like they were last year! what are the chances??

Would explain everyone's internet going to pieces then 😂

I'm not friends with Stephen Donnelly.

Oh God me too! I need some sunshine. I feel like I'm living inside a cloud

@eggandonion

I'm not friends with Stephen Donnelly.

I don't know if anyone is friends with Stephen Donnelly.

Poor Stephen Donnelly.

Yes, LifeInAHamsterWheel re the delivery of big projects, that's worrying. September is already very long to wait.

I do remember getting the H1N1 vaccination quickly. Was that much less complicated as it didn't involve as many people? Can't remember. I got it as I was pregnant at the time.

Dh got it in work, dd2 got it sitting on the stairs in the gp, on a Saturday. It was pretty quick.
Poor Stephen, everyone wants Simon Harris back with his folksy chat. There was a plan and road map last Spring, that seems so long ago.

Simon Harris is a great communicator - he's very sincere and always 'reads the room' well. Stephen Donnelly, hmm, not so much. I'm a bit suspicious of any politician on their 3rd party in a couple of Dail terms.

My mum's 77 today, we're hoping that extra year will bump her up the vaccination queue! Thinking about this day last year when we went for lunch and a gallery and the cinema. It seemed a bit dull as birthday celebrations go (poor people with January birthdays) but I'd give my eye teeth to be doing that today!

People are just terrified.i am hoping to vaccinate and the anount of courses and extras to be done and no end to work darsa or anything coimg by email. Im just getting despondent about any roll out plus ireland must be behind the big guns of europe in vaccine supply.i just think october we will be here again

I mean no end in sight with work dates to vaccinate the masses at sll coming down the tracks
V v worrying

He used to be on with Vincent Brown a lot, Steve. I miss old Vincent.

I'd love to see Vincent let loose on Norma, Josepha, Stephen and the rest of the ludramans. He'd skewer them.

Yes, loved Vincent on the telly - much more than Claire Byrne. My husband strongly disagrees!!

I love Vincent too.

Vincent was great.

Vincent was a great interviewer- he went for the jugular. Does anyone remember his late night radio show. It was brilliant.

I have no time for Stephen Donnelly - imagine hopping over to join Fianna Fail when he knew what they had done to the country pre and post 2008. It tells me all I need to know about him.

I haven't time for Simon Harris either.

Bertie Ahern seems to be exerting his influence in FF circles.

Dear God. Keep him away.

But Simon cares, he is sincere and has a baby. I don't think Steve cares.
Vincent sighed, really exasperated sighs. The impressionists doing the enquiry stuff on the radio were brilliant. Shocking in its own way.

Poor Simon looks the way we all feel lately! He's aged more than me in the last year and that's saying something! I don't find him more tolerable than Stephen Donnelly though, not even appearance-wise but he just seems more sincere. Not that I believe any politician can be sincere but you know what I mean

Oops sorry I meant I DO find him more tolerable!
