THE STIFFMEISTER 17,131 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Wearing them on a night out under a pair of wooly trouser jeans , a Ralph Lauren chaps shirt and a woolly mohair jumper of choice , (usually a Paul and shark or Henry Loylld , none of that lambretta shite or god forbid voi . ) whilst waiting on a taxi in the rain at the end of a night was literally the worst thing about that era . all the clothes would absorb your dance sweat , the rain , every drink you’ve spilled that night , so it was like standing in a suit of armour . Them peach skin shirts weighed a f***ing ton , I swapped into sonnetti polos after i realised that . It was literally the equivalent of wearing a swan dry smock when out 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetro 5,349 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 A ban on all flights arriving into Ireland from Great Britain will come into effect at midnight tonight and will remain in place for at least 48 hours. The ban comes in response to the identification of a new strain of COVID-19 in the South-East of England. Ferry crossings between Ireland and Great Britain will continue in order to keep essential supply chains moving. The government direction for people not to travel from Great Britain to Ireland does not extend to essential supply chain workers. Arrangements are being put in place to facilitate the repatriation of Irish residents on short trips to Great Britain and planning to return in the coming days, as well as international travellers to Ireland who are transiting through Great Britain. The ban will be reviewed by Cabinet on Tuesday, along with the imposition of new restrictions for Ireland after Christmas. A bit late doing this now. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
