I agree, Gus. Don’t know what came over me.

We have eaten tonno alla marinara, but with canned tuna (pole and line caught, natch). Mr Bee enjoyed a plethora of pasta while a salad sufficed for me.

And from Monday, Soo’s picture will be outlawed here on pain of…well pain, or something.

What with all the pubs being closed and household gatherings being outlawed TBTB have, in their infinitesimal wisdom, concluded that there is a problem with crowds of gobshites getting pissed in the street–and of course the only way to tackle this is to make drinking more expensive. Rather than, say, enforce existing laws on disorderly behaviour - or (a long shot, admittedly) making some effort not to pursue policies that would drive anyone to drink.

So, no loyalty points accrued or spent on drink, no more quantity discounts and (further) reduced off-sales hours. With plans in place to introduce a minimum price per unit alcohol

That the net excise receipts on alcohol for 2019 amounted to €1232.5m is of course purely coincidental…

They’re also trying to claim that it’s about reducing the spread of covid.

Yeah, right…

MeHole feckin’ Martin, remember, is the man who in 2003 as Minister of Health was the instigator of the smoking ban. The Onlie Begetter Of The New Puritanism. He must be wetting himself with joy at seeing every pub closed; his sole regret being that he can’t claim all the responsibility.
