For decades,  The Japanese, as a matter of good manners, have worn masks on public transport and when in enclosed spaced if they have flu/cold/cough.

What chance that the me,me,me centered westerners would do likewise ?

I'm still planning to. If I submit to molestation as a sardine, protection from resultant germ sharing seems a good plan to me 🤣

Given how people are wearing their masks on the luas at the moment, i.e. below their noses/mouth/chin, I don't think it'll make much of a difference to the spread. However, the luas was definitely busier this week than the last 2. I'll still wear a mask on it, wear it properly too.
We have been requested to wear a mask when walking around the office too, I'll continue to do that as well.

I think I'll be mainly sticking with the mask on the bus, in busy shops, anywhere crowded. I also like it keeping my face warm on a cold day.

This week has me totally wiped out, have a couple of classes tomorrow then on midterm. Won't get a proper break as I've a lot of catching up, but I am going to make sure I take off the weekends!

More of the me,me,me western culture.   ( I've seen it suggested that this can be used as an indicator of the wearer's IQ   )

You too, ehh ?

I really notice it if I dont have it on when I'm out

It's raining heavy Cork side

I think I will probably continue to wear masks in supermarkets for shopping and other outings

I had a chicken in pitta bread with Cajun sauce from sauce shop with rocket and ohhh man do I wish I had another one 🤤🤤 all was going well until the end of the pitta bread broke and some of it came out the ass of it and Cajun sauce all over my clothes ☹️☹️, it was still savage though like 🤤🤤.

They have no choice but to be there as it's their job, for everyone else it's optional (as in you don't have to jump onto that packed tram or bus full of germbags)

On the weather warning stuff, the schools are closed here tomorrow in Sligo which actually suits me perfectly as I've been doing the school runs all week which means I have to start and finish later. I've my own office so the kids being at home doesn't bother me 

They can wear a mask of they choose to, being among others who aren't wearing masks is not strange. They will be absolutely fine.

That's right. Asian communities have been wearing them for a long time.

I don't think there is anything self centered about disliking them and can't help but wonder about why a person wears them when it isn't for health reasons. 

Germs are not to be feared and neither are other people. 

In saying all of that of course one must do what feels right for them.

I'll be glad to lose the 😷, but God dammit I want snow!

A lazy weekend in a warm house is just what I need, but I want a takeaway delivered on Saturday.

That's surely not too much to ask for, is it? 🤔🤔😂😂

Happy snow hunting to those in the North West and to our Corkonians (and nearby), I hope you batten down the hatches like the good sailors ye are! 😁

I'm off to the Weather Forum of 'it that shall not be named' 😉

Oh yeah snow would be perfect! I love the snow. It's windy enough here in Dubland and very wet. I have to drive in the town for work so that will be exciting   

Your weekend expectations are the same as mine Leg although there is a 'surprise' gathering on Sunday for my birthday so that will be nice. Cake

I actually was about to write my 21st what.

Im 47, when my son introduces me to people he says "I'm little Tigger and I'm 5 and this is Tigger and he's my Daddy he's 47. So I'm quite desensitizied about my age 


Its hard to believe I'm a grown up let alone that I'm nearer 70 than 20.
Rocky three came out 40 years ago 

That's something that really blew my mind.

Happy Birthday Tigger 😊

I need to get up and shower but it's a miserable day so I'll be lazy for a while yet.
