Shop local lads!!

This.  No harm, but anyone crying about how there are no packets of Percy Pigs in stock need to have a word with themselves.  Plenty of food about FFS.

Seen a picture on Twitter of Tesco having thrown out a pile of oranges because they arrived too late and were past their best before date. I couldn't give a f**k about Percy pigs but seeing that amount of food go to waste because of the mess a bunch of insecure DUP fanatics have got us into doesn't exactly rest easy with me. Things are tight enough for some people in the current climate so seeing that really fucked me off

Surely the food would be better donated

I love Percy pigs, lovely and soft, hateful how they are always positioned at till, impossible to resist

Sainsburys in Derry serious amount of missing stock.

Absolutely Fear. A mad sight ]

Was a bit surreal, very quiet too, people shuffling around muttering to themselves and shaking their heads in disbelief.

That's why you marry a teacher...

Always had a thing for teachers myself

And I thought you had moved on to better whiskey than that.

Diddly squat handed out remotely today

Wife just finished, she's lesson videos to do all week, each student has to report in the morning online and at the end.

Some schools must be completely taking the piss

Yeah my kids have to do that. We also got some sort of notification from teachers tonight via Google that they are going to email weekly progress reports for each child.
I have to say it's been Impressive the work that they are doing remotely. They are in a grammar school.
Kids in primary getting daily tasks via class Dojo. Enough to keep them going about 3 to 4 hours a day. Can't complain there either.

I do know people who are having a completely different experience though and from what I see on here it seems to be inconsistent.

Who is doing the 3-4 hours work with the young ones? Honest question

Are you talking parents or teachers?

Parents, if parents are at work and children with big brothers or sisters or grandparents or childminder, who does the Dojo work?

I'd say there would be big variation across the board alright

Personally lads starting to see some very strong evidence of mental health being negatively affected in friends and colleagues since advent of covid.

What's he like?

Deadly craic. Wouldn't always tell the cleanest jokes either.

If you're involved in the international GAA or any emigrant community you get to meet a lot of top brass. GAA presidents that I've met:

• Sean Kelly
• Nicky Brennan
• Christy Cooney
• Liam O'Neill
• Aogán Ó Fearghaíl

Other notables that I've met:

• Gavin Newsom when he was running for re-election as Mayor of SF
• Enda Kenny
• Michael D Higgins

Michael D, one of Ireland's finest, Gael and gentleman

The Pope. Sound wee man

Stormont really is an amateur set up. MLAs spoofing away on Twitter, absolutely useless they are.
"It's better than the bad old days" is wearing thin after all these years of bickering, indecision and incompetence.

Next time round make sure you don't vote for them. Try it, things can't be worse.

That's the plan

A lot of unfair comments on here relating to both parents and teachers
