Here it is!

Hit post too soon!

I have a function on Friday evening that I'm wary of attending from a social distancing point of view.
Dinner for approx 60....

I feel sorry for philip boucher hayes having to pretend to be claire byrne. Why cant they call programmes Morning Show, or Stupid Guests or whatever instead of naming things after presenters.
Why were we discussing our new bank Holiday a couple of weeks ago, wasn't that meant to be a reflection on the end of covid, and how could we thank front line workers. Now we are back to square one.

I never think about Covid until Tony starts banging on about it again. He's a pure doom merchant who needs to take a good long break for himself.

Stupid guests

He's a pure doom merchant who needs to take a good long break for himself This is how I know for certain I'm on the Craicnet section of Mumsnet

I agree with you @JaneJeffer

Wee Ronan seemed to be in charge for a few weeks.
I think we need Leo and Simon back. I haven't seen Luke for ages.

I think the music for the intro to the Claire Byrne Show is the same music they had for Pat Kenny. And he's gone years from RTE and is Claire's opposition on Newstalk.
You'd think they could afford to change the theme tune. 

I hate when they call it the X name show and they haven't been presenting it for weeks cos they're on their really long RTE holidays.
I thought it was just me, glad I'm not alone @eggandonion

Now I could he wrong about the music and if so 

This is how I know for certain I'm on the Craicnet section of Mumsnet
Ah yes I can let rip with the Hiberno English on here

Yes well Ronan was the one who gave us all hope there a few weeks back, telling us we'd almost reached the end of the tunnel. Now he's been put back in his box with the rest of us

I don't listen to RTE radio other than RTE Gold and that's only from Alexa in my kitchen as you can't get it on the radio anymore. In the car I listen to Newstalk. But XMASFM will be coming soon!!

Also I presume we're all just to forget there was ever a mention of a new bank holiday? If they didn't announce it as a sweetner with the budget then we'd no chance...

I thought it was still under consideration, did paschal not tell me that? Hes always optimistic.
Catriona Perry hasn't been on the 6.1 news for a few days, i hope shes on holidays. Although did she have August off, when Reelin in the years is on?
I wish we could email the actual presenter in the studio, not the email address of the wealthy named one. We should start a petition.
I like Gold too.

My nightclub days are a thing of the past, but this made me smile :)

🤣 brilliant

Wahoo mid term break. I've been looking forward to this since September.

So I was just carving my pumpkin. Doing very well, however when I got to the witch's nose and chin, my knife decided I was too cooky and slipped, making a pigs ear out of the face and cutting my finger in the process. The worst thing was, I tried to fit it and made it worse.
Also those shitty little plastic pumpkin kit things are sharp.
I have 2 more to do to redeem myself.

So Tony thinks the vaccine isn't working. Great!

That's kind of obvious at this stage. Hospital numbers are climbing and although they are blaming unvaccinated we all know that it is not true.

Also the cases among children is raising too. They were previously not really affected I don't know if the children are getting sick or just being tested for hoildays and that.

The vaccine is only one tool against Covid. It's still about masking up, careful contact with people, ventilation. Depressing, but true.
They are still ignoring the elephant in the room (primary schools). I'm beyond annoyed at this stage.

"......Hospital numbers are climbing and although they are blaming unvaccinated we all know that is is not true."

I don't understand @Iblinkedandiamold.
Who or What is to blame ?

LadyEloise I meant they were saying that the people in hospital were not vaccinated, in fact it is almost 50:50 if the numbers are true. Something like 42 are double jabbed and 58 are not.
No-one is to blame the virus is contagious no matter how careful you are no-one is safe.

Fergal bowers on twitter varadkar cant rule out another lockdown #tomakeusgetthebooster
All the talk of kids with covid is to push the all kids even healthy ones must get the jab. Chance of anyone dying of covid is 0.008% im no anti vaxxer or conspiracy theorist BUT who is in control here ! Fgs england no mask mandate and cases falling. 2600 cases today i mean change the record.
People queued for the vaccine ..less so for a booster i reckon so its scare the people into getting it. Fgs where is our freedoms gone !!!! Its intolerable now the veiled threats / the tipping us near another LD then when booster uptake goes up magically it will drop. Id love to understand the psychology behind the narratives we are being fed. Its just terrible what is going on and the MSM no questioning of anything/ no criticism from the media esp RTE who are surviving on govt ad money. Someone is making big money outta pcr and testing . So antigen ok now . Read Today now how close comtact kids maybe tested per pod iykwim well not without parental consent I hope !!!
The nite club micro comtrol is an absolute farce. Have an employee to make sure social distancing in the q for the bar. Omg its an absolure farce. It would be laughable except its just too sad for young adults/ students wanting to have fun after nigh on 2 yrs !! Not a word about mental health of our young and elderly. I hope someome goes to jail over the mismanagement of this. Where is the icu beds ? Like ireland was offerred an interest free loan to help increase icu bed numbers. If you paid experienced icu nurses to manage and to over see 3 nurses each to help with the vents ard partial ventilation and have teams going that is way better and more cost effective than endless lockdowns and
guess what the hse might escape crumbling!!!!

NPHET have lost any credibility they had.

Listening to Luke O' Neill on the Ray Darcy show.
I've a very soft spot for Luke😉
He says lockdowns don't work.

He's just doing a duet with Mary Coughlin.
Wowsers !!!
