Restaurant recommendation required: driving Cork- Bantry next Sat and just checked the route (surprised to see you go inland).
Will have a car full of hungry hippos: anyone know of some suitable outdoor place to book lunch? Thinking just before Cork\just after."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

In a media sense, I do consume a lot of news but I do pick my sources carefully. I hope we never end up with a Fox equivalent here. I like Solk's point that our kids own the future and that we should be aware of what's going on the world.

I don't tend to watch much tv news but would still have some faith in the BBC. RTE makes my teeth grind mostly but can surprise on the upside occasionally.
The American hyper-polarisation is scary.
Now you could argue that this is all a very distinct slice of the media pie and you would be right. But it's also the best of what's out there."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Search Facebook for O'Dwyer and sons funeral directors and tell me its not the most bizarre thing you've ever seen.
Not necessarily the funerals of those three scrotes, but the service they provide in general.
A wedding style video complete with drone footage, crying kids, interviews with mourners, all uploaded to their Facebook page for shares and likes.
Boss of the company seems to play a starring role in each, dressed like something out of Peaky Blinders.
Have a look about them that they're in the business of creating business too.
Truly the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. One of the videos is a funeral of a child.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Their vaccine-hesitant states are going to take a hammering from Delta.
Some scary trends in vaccine hesitant\Republican (join the fucking dots) states like Arkansas and Alabama."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

An interesting angleon the covid situation in the UK now. Delta is tearing through the population (bad) but, given that the vulnerable, and indeed a very good majority of all adults, are pretty much all vaccinated (good), there's an element of 'so what?' about it.
The 'so what' seems to be that bits of your economy seize up as the numbers required to self-isolate explode. Nearly a million school kids alone are self-isolating for example. Tube lines closed as they run out of workers.
It'll be interesting to see if we experience the same. And the red US states."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

UK Daily deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate by date of death going up more slowly between May and now. Staying just below 20. Get less sick with vaccines plus ICUs people learning better ways of treating.
Worst daily death figure was 1,481 on 19th Jan.

​​​​​​​I'd be interested in anyone who has the time and inclination to sit down and actually read this, with an undistracted mind. To anyone in a hurry to react emmotively and turn off after he mentions, a majority of science being being, this is of course true. Has happened innumerable times throughout history, crisis point is the term I think, that you only known what you don't know when one thing breaks kind of gig. I was utterly terrified when this whole thing began. Id also respectively say, if your inlinced to be like, load of bollox, actually do a bit of independent digging and see what you think

Did you read it? Did you read and think, that's a reasonable and unusual point? And following that prod round to decipher if it has grounding in truth. Is it likely you read it from a state of this is my opinion and even then questioning of opinions I'm emotionally entwined with is triggering?
​​​​​​You think the parts regarding poverty are a load of bollocks? I'd be astonished if you spent more thanntwo minutes reading it. And there in lies the rub, and IMO why we are a such dangerous point in polarity.
Regardless, fairly obnoxious reply.

LOL at it being protected so that you ned a Micro$oft account to read it.
But LOL Ivor Cummins, not too fine a point on it anyone who assigns any credibility to him needs help, the man is a fucking snake oil salesman who is milking the desperation of people gullible enough to fall for being told what they think they need to hear.

This is EXACTLY my point. And I find it so jarring. I'm not a Covid denier. I believe vaccines are a wondrous thing. I disagree with significant parts of the piece. I'm scared of Covid and have concerns and worries about getting a vaccine, when people involved in the development of vaccine themselves have concerns.
To me that seems unusual.
It does raise some points of merit or things that re unusual. I'd imagine that's very hard to debate. For some reasons, in situations like this, emmotioanlly charged, the ability to say hmm thats an unusual part of this seems to disappear and I find that terrifying.
