May Day holiday: who's on, who's off

[lifetime fan]

Ha ha twat. The Louis one is a bad angle!!!

 

 

No worries, I get them in every single photo.

[Champ]

Yeehaa and we are on the next page!

[Champ]

Well, who's off today? Everyone except lifey who's fixed the rota for another double time shift? We used to have a manager like that....never saw her on shift apart from public holidays...apart from Christmas, of course.

 

Its literally just a holiday for banks and financial institutions here....for everyone else its a normal day

[Lee909]

I'm working

Well as much as watching documentaries on the net can be called working

[Juniper]

Started the day playing a bit of Xbox, just had breakfast. Have two choices;

 

Do some more work in the garden in a bit and finish off the decking by staining it, then go for a run this evening up in the hills once its cooled down a little bit.

 

Piss off the other half by buggering off to London to go play with the band on an improv gig on top of a boat, in the sunshine which happens to be moored next to a pub.

 

Hmmmmm

[lifetime fan]

15 hours double time and two days off in lieu.

 

I also have the cricket on the PC, not too bad.

It's not even a choice.

 

She can go to the garden centre alone like she wanted to. You're just a thoughtful, considerate bloke.

And there's the angle I was looking for.

Just needed another thoughtful, considerate bloke to point it out.

On a Bank Holiday? You must be joking. What kind of a fool goes anywhere like that on a Bank Holiday?

[Fowlers God]

Day off, I only get 20 days off plus bank holidays so fuck it if I'm gonna miss time off with the family.

 

Currently sitting in the mother in laws garden, listening to music with a full bbq belly, drinking cider.

 

And how the situation changes when they offer me 2.5 times my pay to sit on my arse for a few hours. So far I've had a cup of tea, read the paper and cleaned up my in box. Now I'm going for a shit and all in the name of extra dollars!

[Ian Sea]

I'm on nights tonight. Double time from half 4 till midnight.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I'm off got the day to myself after a weekend of drinking in the sun. I'm gonna play metro last light on my PC for a few hours order a pizza later and then ill watch Hannibal and a few shows online maybe the new arrested development. I love days to myself.

Please for the love of any make believe God tell me you're talking about the garden centre and not the pub?

Give me some credit

 

Nah, as I was saying to Jon, I love my garden but garden centres are grim at the best of times but on a bank holiday, queuing to get into the car park, while shit drivers drive round and round looking for 2 spaces together to park their Nissan Micra across and then shuffle round eyeing all the nic nacs before going to look at the displays of garish bedding plants they've bought in by the ton for the occasion. No thanks

One of the minor delights of a Bank Holiday are watching the presenters on the local news and weather. The top dogs obviously get these off & it becomes 'scraping the barrel time' with people thrown in front of the cameras that were probably patrolling the car park or cleaning the offices last week.

[Remmie]

I will be working a 15.5 hour shift, though only 8.5 hours are at triple rate. Also have just come back from a totally boss holiday in Ukraine, Poland and Austria and it's sunny. Hard times.

[Red_or_Dead]

I'm going to drink white Russians and watch a certain sporting event on a stream.

[Tossed and blown]

Working, have been on call all weekend. In work now. No double time either.

I didn't do the May rota.

On the verge of being 'tired and emotional' in Manchester.

 

God blesses y'all.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you...

[Champ]

Brucespanner RIP.

 

Just thought I'd look this thread out...

 

Well, it seems I'll be spending this Bank Holiday just like last year!

I couldnt believe its only a year since you'd met Louis, though, Rico!

[stringvest]

Off to the devils punch bowl for a bit of exercise now, back for 2, out the house for 3.30 in pub at 5. Couple of diet cokes with Mark, Stig etc, then saunter along the road to get behind the chaps
