The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'd be sceptical on that rumour. Very. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Me too. Surely too early to call. But who knows? After all this, pubs may find a super resurgence, although I have to say I found the occasional can of Guinness quite enjoyable at home with Zoom contacting around the world and indeed just up the road, I think the pubs may have new competition.

Non-Believer Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 The only difference between drinking in a sparsely populated living room and a sparsely populated pub is that the living room is about 75% cheaper. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be a resurgence in pubs etc. Drinking at home is boring. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinking within a bubble of your own is not the only coronavirus-compliant activity that is depressing... It is only a matter of time until people are absolutely fed up with the social distancing and then will resume living their life no matter what the government orders them to do. I read on the Telegraph this morning that one in six British people are on antidepressants right now. Bleak. In the meantime, some Manx shops are reopening this morning. Let's hope that this is just the beginning of the revival of life on this island. WE CAN'T ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO RUN IT AS A GERIATRIC FACILITY. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, it looks that the virus is on its way to be cleared out from the island – good – but then the plan is, I guess, to keep the border closed for ever and ever... Pleased with social distancing now being relaxed to the point that now – marvellously – you can even meet someone at your home without having the policed knocking your door… if you missed that development.

Debbie Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Jogging yesterday from Millennium Bridge to Manx Petroleum along the southern Quay. Packed with male teenagers engaging into practically everything but social distancing; wrestling activities included. Passing by them, as soon as they had noted me, they were suddenly freezing motor function, visible embarrassment evident in the faces, looking at each other in search of mutual validation of each other’s actions. The police used to monitor the area with cameras on top of parked vans. No more; for good or bad. I think that they should be at school; where a basic level of discipline can be enforced.
