As You may have picked up, I was in France myself for a Month and arrived back last Wednesday week. Ireland never removed the requirement for quarantine . I have been self quarantining at home. ..The house is large enough for an additional guest space . I have a son in a vulnerable health so no physical contact with any member for 10 days .. abundance of caution? Maybe. But I am disappointed that the Gardai did not ring or check .I have just seen an interview with a **** arriving back, by plane, from holiday in France. He was moaning about having to quarantine for two 14 days. He is currently on furlough, and may be called back to work within the next two weeks. Now he is worried that he won’t be available for work.
Why don’t these ***** realise that when on furlough, they are being paid to do a job. That job is to help stop the spread of coronavirus by not mixing with large groups of people on a plane . Going on a European holiday is not helping that objective. These ******* idiots should be made to repay all of their furlough money and be summoned back to work / laid off immediately.
In reality, I can’t see many people sticking to the quarantine rules. Give it a few weeks and they will be moaning that granny is dead.
A very responsible and conscientious attitude. It’s a shame more people don’t do the same.As You may have picked up, I was in France myself for a Month and arrived back last Wednesday week.

In fairness to Brittany Ferries they were operating a very well structured CV19 isolation regimen
I suppose it’s the ultimate gamble.So relieved. Can now go to a casino in England.
Relieved of mental capacity and the contents of my wallet. Just why would anyone want to risk Covid-19 in order to be able to risk their money? We all know the odds are stacked in favour of the house. Don't we?
(And so pleased the government has seen the importance of casinos to the population.)
Precisely what I was forecasting and the purpose of my post when I started this Brexit thread 81,199 posts and 4,061 web pages ago.BREXITEERS have been told they might be left "disappointed" and may be forced accept a warning from the UK's chief Brexit negotiator David Frost, that Britain may not achieve all of its objectives in a future trade agreement with the European Union.
I won’t believe it until Spangles, Treats and Cadbury’s Bar Six make a comeback.The unexpected, indeed - unanticipated, effects of brexit continue to astound:
Marathon chocolate bars return to supermarkets - 30 years after Snickers rebrand
[No idea if it is brexit-related but someone will claim it is. And how long till those who never knew Marathon will be lamenting the loss of the Snickers they grew up with and knew for thirty years?]
Bring back Spangles... They were never sold in RoI,but were available in NI and of course mainland UK . They were a cause of great wonder whenever anyone ventured abroad and enhanced street cred no end in the local primary school. The existence of Aero in Green or Orange colours were also rarities, but they were no SpanglesI won’t believe it until Spangles, Treats and Cadbury’s Bar Six make a comeback.
I was fully expecting something like that to come out - in time. I couldn't be arsed to look.Simon Cowell did not fall off an Ebike!

He fell off one of these
The Swind EB-01 that Cowell was riding has a bigger motor. "The beating heart of this beast is an electrical motor with 15kW of power." that is 20 times the maximum allowed for e-bikes in North America, 60 times the limit in Europe. It has been called "the fastest bike on earth"– It can do 80 miles per hour
Total Cost | £16,500 + local taxes |
I responded to that....THE health quango blamed for the poor handling of the pandemic will be scrapped next month, it was revealed.
Matt Hancock has decided that Public Health England will be wound up after a string of failures.
Is Matt Handcock going to be scraped after his string of failures too? I think that these clowns actually believe in their own BS. They can’t have the slightest notion of how little regard or respect the public has for them. Incredible.

Note how that opens the doors to the data being transferred to anyone they choose - whether part of government or private, based in the UK, or not.If Public Health England or substantially all of its assets are transferred to a third party organisation, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
Exactly what it feels like.Thought for the day from Hancocks half hour
