Originally posted by The C Kid View PostWe're now on full housebound curfew from 15:00 to 06:00 every day. Any member of the public without the necessary papers that allow them to be out post curfew (healthcare, food delivery, utilities etc) gets a fine and 21 days imprisonment if caught. Initial curfew period is for 21 days and reviewed post that but i'd imagine a full lockdown will be in place before then. Army and police on the streets each afternoon.
All fairly surreal but seems to be uniformly well received from the local population so far.

Also we need to identify you to law enforcement so they don't accost you, and people don't recoil from you. So some kind of emblem should be affixed to your outer garments. A gold star perhaps.
On that note, what helpful or useful things have people been doing or are planning to do for others?

Looking at the Temporary COVID-19 Wage Subsidy Scheme on the revenue siteTo qualify for the scheme, employers must:- be experiencing significant negative economic disruption due to Covid-19
- be able to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of Revenue, a minimum of a 25% decline in turnover
- be unable to pay normal wages and normal outgoings fully and
retain their employees on the payroll.
The Scheme is confined to employees who were on the employer’s payroll as at 29 February 2020, and for whom a payroll submission has already been made to Revenue in the period from 1 February 2020 to 15 March 2020.
Ryanair have 40 Million in the bank so the scheme can't apply to them until that is all used up?
A small business with say 100K in cash reserves and half a dozen employees and are closed down; will they have to use up all their reserves before they can apply the scheme
Sounds to me like its going to to exactly what its intended to prevent lead to anyone who isn't going to cost more in redundancy payments being laid off and to all sorts of exploits like breaking service etc.Turning millions into thousands

Bollox to this.
Drummer Bill Rieflin is dead aged 59.
Cut his chops with Ministry and Revolting Cocks (and became an industrial music legend as a result) before moving on to the gentler assignment of REM and further out into the stratosphere as one of the three King Crimson skin's men.
Unique sound and style. RIP.
Here he is smashing up the dance floor with 1000 Homo DJs...

Dishwasher on the go 24/7. Can't keep food in the place.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Originally posted by Silver-Tiger View PostWas just about to write that Whiplash would be my fav of the Irish breweries. Their range of doubles are amazing. Was waiting on that news since they moved to Dublin.
I organised a large bulk buy from Whiplash yesterday, gave them a grand and delivered beer all over Dublin for them.
Anyway, one of the owners told me that they have a good few DIPAs and other things sitting in tanks waiting to be packaged.
They are very close with the crowd who run The Big Romance on Parnell St and through some licence finagling they are going to be able to start to sell from the brewery in volumes lower than the current allowed 21 Litre minimum that breweries are currently allowed, so keep an eye out for it.
The Dot Brew mixed box from The Headline is decent for the money.
Craft Central is the best, but Martin's in fairview is also worth a look.

Originally posted by coillcam View PostI've used Drinkstore.ie for years, Ken and the lads are bang on. Great shout by Lloyd on White Hag too. The have a good selection on their site. Also Dead Centre brewer in Athlone just set up their store in the last few weeks: deadcentrebrewing.com. They only have a few beers on but worth a look.
