Absolutely wrecked after these last two years, can’t be arsed braving crowds yet just for a few €6 pints while packed in like sardines and then no taxis home

  2. Take it at your own pace. Now is the time to be good to yourself. When living with stress, you often don’t see the impact it has until the stress is gone. Your emotions may go haywire, know that this is normal and it’s just your body’s way of dealing with the trauma. Don’t fight it, just let it roll.

  3. Definitely vibing more with the second Pulp Fiction pic. Yeah, the euphoria is really in your face at the moment, like you’re expected to be overjoyed about going back to work in a cage and dealing with all the social “expectations” bullshit.

  7. I’ll be honest, as much I love seshin in Ireland, I’ve decided to give up on the nightlife in this country. Better off saving a few Bob for other shite for the foreseeable future.

  9. I don’t miss the pub and I’m sick to death of hearing about pubs. Every time the news is on there’s a fucking reporter live in some pub. Fuck the pubs, those fuckers helped bring in minimum pricing and now they want us packed in to fleece us. Fuck them.

  10. I’m not a drinker and not very social so the pubs have zero appeal to me. Being in one anytime over the next few weeks would be my worst nightmare.

  11. Spot on OP, and I hope many others have copped on to the same mindset. It’s bollocks and not worth it.

    People are celebrating the lifting of restrictions, as if a return to the dystopia of overpriced pints in a packed space with earsplitting music is something to be thankful for.

    Is it too much to expect an evolution in social consciousness, even on a minor scale. It’s not worth it. Maybe the odd pint in a quiet local with a friend but I hope I’m not alone in saying I’m done besides.

  12. Don’t worry. I am sure the price increases pubs and restaurants introduced last year to cover the temporary decline will be reversed any day now….. any day now.

  14. I’m in no rush either

    There doesn’t seem to be any “in between” socialising mode in Ireland

    It always has to be at a turbo charged, full on 10

    Absolutely. Fucking. **Mental** scenes all over my Timelines today 😂

    Pfizer and Merck antiviral yokes will be in abundance very soon

    I’ll hold off on busy bars and nightclubs till then but I’ll still be meeting friends for food etc

  15. F**k expensive watery pints in city centre

    Go down the local and meet your neighbours, the pandemic was supposed to bring everyone together, lets keep it

  22. I managed to save a lot more money over this whole covid period. Really put into perspective how expensive it is going out all the time.

  25. I decided to go out last night to celebrate the pubs reopening…

    I had 2 cans before I left the house, but then had one pint in the pub and I ran off home again. I just wasn’t drunk enough to handle all the drunk people in the pub. Next time I think I’ll try 4-5 cans before I head out..

    Then again, with the price of cans these days I’d probably be better off snorting a few lines of smack or something..

  26. I see your point but I hope you also understand that for others they’ve been missing this a lot, or if 19ish might never have done it in their lives? I’m over it but that’s age to be fair, if I was in college I’d be delighted to be all sweaty 3 deep in a queue at the bar. It was great craic

  27. I’m old enough to remember when the price of a pint crossing the “psychological barrier” of 1 pound was a thing.

  28. I’m happy staying home and playing online games with friends from around the world but I adapted to covid life better than most.
