A song for Sid and TJ

And now, the end is near, its time to come out from behind the curtain

You've loved the world lockdown, for long enough, of that i'm certain

Scaremongering, for 9 long months

Close the schools, get off the highway!

But worse, much worse than this

You're back to work today

Seems like Sid doesn't like it when other people make up songs.

It just helps when they're funny and somewhat literate and accurate

Which the above isn't

You’re taking the idea of going back to normality well I see

Nobody wants the world to go back to normality more than me, pal, the last nine months have been f**king sh*t

It's why I've been constantly pointing to countries who actually have done so, safely, as examples, because they followed a clear long term strategy to eliminate it and then were zealous about keeping it out

That was the right strategy, our strategy and the strategy of Europe and the west was not the right one

Nobody wants to be in a constant circle of lockdown and mini-release but the reason we are is because we listened to lads who above all else wanted their pints back in the summer, ignorant of the reality of a pandemic disease, and to business lobby groups

In Australia and New Zealand the business lobby groups were not listened to - but that ended up benefitting businesses

Even if this vaccine goes as well as we all hope it does, there's still a winter of this ahead because it takes time to vaccinate a population, then there's the problem where some people will refuse to get the vaccine

It would be great if this is the beginning of the end, but there's still a possibility it might only be the end of the beginning

Here's hoping

Lockdown extended here till 20th. Pubs and restaurants still closed except for takeaways. No alcohol on sale after 9 or 10pm. Golf now gone as well though in fairness it is feckin cold and some snow has arrived.

Some relaxation over Xmas in terms of number of people to meet. Restrictions back on then till 10th. Only done in 4 week cycles.

1860 fan forum saying no fans this season. And to think we were 2 or 3 days away for a game in sept time.

surely given vaccine approval end of December . I would of thought German organisation would get things back to normal there a bit quicker - certainly quicker than the UK even with a 4 week head start

Anyone seen this gym owner clown in Newry LOL

f**king clown.

I hate that mental health is being used as a arguing chip in Lockdown arguments. Anything anyone wants to do they say "its for my mental health" and think they can get away with it. Making a mockery of a serious issue

The Co Mayo publican who opened Ireland's first “Covid-free pub” on Thursday with mandatory rapid testing for all customers was arrested last night.

The Western People reports that Donal Byrne, the owner of Eileen’s Bar in the centre of Aghamore village, was detained for failing to comply with Covid-19 regulations.

It is understood gardaí arrived at Mr Byrne’s premises at 7.05pm before he was arrested more than an hour later at 8.18pm.

An Garda Síochána said it is not its policy to comment on named individuals, but confirmed an inspection was carried out at a licensed premises in Mayo on Thursday.

Gardaí said a man in his 30s was arrested for Breaches of the Health Act following “unsuccessful engagement,” after officers alleged a number of breaches of public health regulations to the owner of the premises and requested it come into compliance.

There's an anti vaccine protest outside RTE on Father Mathew Quay. The irony of all this is that if their grandparents didn't have a TB or Polio vaccine then a few of them wouldn't have been born.
