Silver Pockets Full

AUgust 2014

August, this year, will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens only once every 823 years. The Chinese call it 'Silver pockets full."

Great bunch of weekends.

fizzypish

That must mean that July or September have 3 x 3 x 3 I presume. What do the Chinese call that? Pockets full of s**t?

Why does it only happen once every 823 years? Surely any 31-day month in which the 1st falls on a Friday will have 5 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays? May 2015 will be the same, for example.

Mr. Incognito

Longest month ever if you get paid monthly.

Silver pockets empty.......

cletus van damme

Don't they have a different calender to us?

Penn

Not true. Next May will have 5 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. And August 2025 will have the same.

Another one of those Facebook statuses that are wrong.

Now, thank this post and share it with 10 friends or Boards will start charging you to not sell your private info.

This old chestnut comes up on Facebook every couple of months. Usually with a pretty picture of a fortune cookie or something, asking people to share the picture for good luck.

Note.

It only works on the calenderly challenged

It's interesting that Facebook have put up warnings when someone posts a link to the onion, but they let this bolloxology run amock

It's as if they somehow benefit from people sharing bullsh1t with each other

If you owned a chinese takeaway so would you

Lapin

The Chinese are full of Shít.

But its not PC to say that in front of the sandal wearing knit your own yogurt windmill worshiping crowd.

Amazing the amount of people out there who swallow this 'Silver Pockets' rubbish in the believe that, if the Chinese call it that, there must be wisdom in it.

Same shower of twits who fork out money to pay for Feng Shui guidance and Tai Chi classes to liberate their minds.

And this is why education is so important.

A month can only start on one of 7 days.

So this happens to August one year in seven.


The scary thing is these people are allowed to serve on juries and vote in elections

I wouldn't get too scared if I were you, the prosecution will put forward a case and the defense will get a chance to rebut it.

As regards elections don't believe a single promise put forward by Sinn Fein as they will not be able to deliver on anything.

Doesn't take much to woo the Chinese,
Great bunch of lads though
