We like to dither, make things worse, make the whole thing as painful as possible, and then blame someone else.

People need time to get a hair cut and ram the shops like broiler hens

Why would any sane person stand in a mile long queue for two hours to get into a shop? They need to work a bit harder then they won’t have time for such malarkey

The Abbeycentre incident? Apparently it was for the novelty of being able to shop in the middle of the night!

Get yourself some clippers, by the 4th or 5th cut you'll have the hang of it. I've had compliments on my DIY haircut, nobody ever said anything when I went to the barberHaircut not a problem for me as I'm now identifying as a dog
Have had a set for years as Mrs yin cut it for a while but had went back to barber. My biggest problem is letting it get into a suckler cow one cut state, would be much easier DIY if I went for multi-cut dairy cow stuff.

Did the same myself thinking barbers would open up sooner and for longer. Took 3 attempts to get it back into shape

I watched a clip on the news last night. Busy shopping street in Belfast. A LOT of people not wearing masks?? A busker standing guitar in hand belting out a song?? If he was Covid positive, he would have infected any amount of passers bye! Busking for example is instant arrest in the south. No questions asked.
There seems to be no comparison between not just the regulations in the south, but also in how serious people take the damn thing.
Whilst our freedoms are important, surely but surely protecting the front line health service staff, and the vulnerable takes complete and utter precedence. I don’t get this cavalier attitude to the safety of the hospital staff!! Just don’t get it...

Stormont has voted against a travel ban with the rest of UK instead issuing "stronger" advice permitting only essential travel between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.
Anecdotal reports of an increase in ROI citizens flying into NI to get round the ROI ban on travel from GB.
Covid-19: Sinn Féin calls for all-Ireland travel ban from GB
A ban from the Irish Republic and NI would help stop the spread of Covid-19, says Michelle O'Neill.

Yet more dysfunction. Stopping people coming into NI from Britain, is simply a no brainer. Just to try protect NI from another wave. Of course tribalism trumps common sense! As for the ROI citizens transiting through NI, and they certainly are doing that, they should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

Health Minister Robin Swann's paper to the Executive last night (conveying advice of CMO & CSA) - which recommended guidance not to fly into NI from GB, rather than a ban - says covid is more likely to come into NI via RoI & suggested "limiting travel from RoI" as well as from GB
The five-page health advice paper says that "given the extent of traffic between RoI and UK it is almost inevitable that the [virus] variant is present in RoI where it is unlikely to be easily detected given that little viral sequencing is performed".
