    You should change your name to Richard Downer.

    Go out and enjoy yourself.

    Hate Bank holidays ever since I had kids. Creche is closed Monday. :mad:

    Hate Bank Holidays too. Slow traffic & morons everywhere. I work for myself & take time off whenever, so the purpose of it is moot.

    Queens birthday weekend, and of course it's a strong wind and rain for two days.
    I think mother nature is giving me a hint

    Twas lovely in Wellington today. So, I closed the curtains and pretended it was horrible outside. I don't want to go anywhere this weekend, I'm dying for the weather to be ****.

    It does suck when you work for yourself. I see a LOT more of my kids than the average 9-5er friends of mine.

    As mentioned above, Bank Holidays mean nothing to me. Just an inconvenience. But, hey, it's sunny.

    Would exaplain the girlfriend's use of a vibrator....

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I love bank holidays :) Im away off to Belfast for a boozey weekend. Whats not to love??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 688 ✭✭✭UpCork


    I ususally enjoy Bank Holidays, but given that I have to spend the whole weekend working on my thesis, this one, I'm afraid will pass me by.

    Although on the plus side it means I do have a day extra to work on things

    :(

    Listen Downer, it's the weekend. Confine your whinging to your own head.

    So, it's not really the bank holiday you hate. Just your lack of imagination and boring life?

    I don't think the banks should have holidays, they should be working hard trying to repay this country considering the mess they helped to create.

    I didn't attack you at all and bear no malice towards you in the slightest. I deduced an answer to my own question and put it to you. Somewhat in the hope you might think....hey, great...I've some free time. Why don't I round up all the people I like and have a BBQ/go camping/fishing/walk a mountain/smoke crack...whatever.

    There's more to life than the inside/back garden of a house and not every activity costs money.

    Depends on how big your boobs are but I'm about to walk the puppy down at Dollymount to see if he'll swim then grab a burger. Anyone is welcome to join me.

    Only certain people get days off work.

    People who do essential work or look after people or animals work like any other day.

    I'm working but get two extra days holidays. Is working for Salesforce considered essential?

    Why do you keep saying this in threads? What does it even mean?


    Also,
    Do you work? If you do then you must be mad in the head to hate bank holidays or live a very boring life! How about you go out with mates and have a laugh!

    That's a shame, I've heard them speak very highly of you.

    A good boarding school is what you need so if you can't face an extra day with the young un's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,021 ✭✭✭mickrock


    As I'm not burdened by a job, I don't get very excited by bank holidays.

    Actually I think they should be banned. No wonder the country's in the state it is with everyone having a day off enjoying themselves.

    Weather back to normal shíte, no plans at all for tomorrow so may as well go and do some work. And get and extra day off to spend doing nothing remarkable...

    If I worked for myself Id still want the excuse for a day off!

    If it wasnt for bank holidays Id go insane, the day off along with the 4 day week after is very welcome. We need more of them.
