Bank holiday weekend

Have you got the extra day for Her Madge in Oz? Best enjoy it, it's the last extra day we'll get until she carks it and you'll get nothing if you're back home.

...wait, do you mean an extra day on top of the regular Queen's Birthday long weekend? Because that's just nuts. Otherwise I don't get the second half of your post, seeing as we get Queen's Birthday long weekend every year...

And bank holiday, HAH! I'm working tomorrow. The bank never takes a holiday. XD

EDIT: Huh. Seems you guys do get two days off in a row. That's just ludicrous.

We had an extra day for the wedding last year and another for the Jubilee this year - 4 day weekends in other words! Best reason to have a royal family I can think of!

I got a gift for the weekend, a t-shirt saying "Thanks for the day off" which is just what I wanted for this whole mess.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

This is an actual site. Poor Apt must write them strongly worded letters everyday.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

No time off for me, despite being in a Commonwealth country, but I'll live...I guess. :tongue:

I did have an awesome day with the family though, my cousin had a baby boy and it was his baptism today. The baptism itself was fine (the kid didn't froth at the mouth, speak in tongues or spit up pea soup so I suppose it was a success) but the feast we had afterwards, oh my goodness. Six courses, including five different desserts; we were at the resto for close to four hours! I'm so full that just the idea of food is grossing me out but it was such a great day.

Took my old magic the gathering cards down to the card shop yesterday. Sold them all for a thousand bucks. I am currently using the cash to plan a "weekend" beach getaway for teh ladyfriend and I on thus/fri (weekend cause it's her days off this week.). I'm pretty sure that after this trip I am one of the very few men that can actually say that magic cards led me to sexytimes.

Got off my lazy ass today, and cycled the few miles (rather than drive) to play a game of 6-a-side soccer. Scored a beautiful volleyed goal as well. Well happy with myself.

Need to keep my new fitness schedule going in my attempt to drop some serious weight. Dropped about 3kgs in the last month.

My entire family being down in Cardiff for the weekend for my brothers regiments' parade... Extremely proud of him & all the lads in the Queens Dragoon Guards. Was also just great to see my family again - we are all spread out somewhat and rarely get together all at once.

My brother bought the new Humble Indie Bundle (which everyone should do) and had already bought Bastion - so he gave me his copy. And holy crap that game was fun as hell, and really well done.

Initially thought two events in September would overlap. Found out today they do not, so I can go on a trip south like I planned AND still do the Film Festival.

This makes me happy.

Did some hard work today, feeling proud. Exam is tomorrow, so I can relax a little after this. Also, my erstwhile girlfriend's birthday dinner went down a treat-not a hint of awkwardness!

Tour round Penderyn Distillery (with their wonderful whisky "samples" which were bigger than most pubs' shot sizes!!) followed by dinner in a marvellous pub in the valleys, which included seeing some good friends. Great day out for me & Mrs Tiste!

EDIT: and I may be wrong but I think I'm about to get sexytimes!

In my mind, you will never have and have never had sexy times, even after getting married. I'm not sure why my mind even has an opinion on your sex life though, that's one to ask the therapist.

Quondam is also a fine alternative.

Also, I've got a short telephone interview, tomorrow. This is good in theory, except I don't want to screw it up so I suppose I'm feeling a little apprehensive, too.
