All my news feeds are obsessed with the poor, poor spanish holiday makers. Apart from the usual government incompetence, I don't get the upset. You've been at home for months catching up on jobs that you never had tine to do and now you think to yourself, "I MUST GO TO SPAIN TO LIE ON A BEACH AND SLAG OFF THE SPANISH" And hen you pretend shock and horror when the government f***s you up. Those months at home means YOU MUST HAVE A SPANISH HOLIDAY. I don't get it. Is Spain closed next year?
He's annoyed that the Government didn't act quick enough, then he's annoyed they acted too quickly - maybe he's just confused
In fairness I've been there you get so annoyed at everything I can't even remember who or what I'm annoyed at then end up siding with a person I was opposed too !! My family even have a name for it !! They call it a flip flop
Apparently, the trick to returning from Spain without doing the quarantine return thing, is to fly into Eire, then drive up through the border. Fly home unhindered... Crazy but true. Yet another loophole in these crazy regulations that someone is coming up with.
100% buddy, we are mobbed with Brits in Ireland holidaying no quarrentine being observed while we are told not to travel ! worse again the yanks have invaded to get out of the worst hit parts of the states ! I'm away in a country that I should be isolating for 2 weeks after I get home while Ireland is allowing unfettered access through it borders ! Mad government rules !!
I was told it last night by a buddy of mine in Dungannon that has been going ballistic over it. Apparently its even in the press over there yeah ? Either there is risk or there isn't ... but farcical screw ups like this ( and the cycles available by doctors prescription nonsense) hardly inspires confidence in the methods being implemented ..
Many people - who booked their holiday before the pandemic - have been looking forward to their holiday as a glimmer of hope and cheer after months of lockdown. And Boris had encouraged us all to go on holiday. Also, the advice regarding the Canary and Balearic islands (which have less Covid-19 than the UK) has changed three times in three days. Hence the upset.
I second this @PerryL, have you seen skitz’s photos of Dublin? It’s had a makeover and looks fabulous not a drunk Brit in sight.
Of course it has, it’s a fluid situation isn’t it? Nothing the government does is ever right. Act-wrong, don’t act-wrong, dither-poor leadership, be decisive-not thinking it through, listen to the experts-sheep mentality, don’t listen to the experts-too stubborn, make a decision based on the science-not seeing the bigger picture, go against the science-idiotic. These are mad times but I’m sick to death of the constant moaning from the press & the public. If you “have” to go on holiday abroad this year, you might have a problem. Do it or don’t but stop whinging about the situation you chose to put yourself in.
Obviously this is only my opinion, BUT in light of what’s happened over the past few months, why would you want to go abroad on holiday? We’re still in uncertain times. Surely people can survive without a foreign holiday for just one year until things settle down. No sympathy from me I’m afraid!
I don't know how many years I have left.... I've got itchy feet and want to get going ASAP.... no pockets in a shroud!
Can I moan that its too hot ? I went to a place with a fraction of the covid cases ireland has ! So in theory I'm safer ,,,,, and warmer,,, and happier ,,, and much much drier
If you (or I) had booked before the pandemic, got through it and still had your holiday to look forward to, then I get that you'd be p1ssed off. But... you would so be looking to getting your free bike on prescription that you would have no need to worry! What? hat's all BS and there are no free bikes? I'm just as confused now... And my physio is going on holiday to Cornwall next week So I get no physio next week...and people keep telling me not to moan all the time! But...I just got my beer delivered from Stroud Brewery and so nothing to moan about now
for the first question no, if you fancy going go. neither do most, however it seems you’re contemplating digitas or possibly hard suicide seeing as you want to get going. there may be no pockets in shrouds but they’ll take contactless I reckon.
When I said get going I meant... travel the world.... not suicide.. although my surgeon might disagree, given my self inflicted (gravity and inertia) injuries over the last 8 years.
