It was a warm, sunny bank holiday in my part of the world.

There was a plan at one stage that all EU countries would get all EU countries' bank holidays, if you see what I mean. But they realised that Europe would be shut for basically the whole of March.

I may trundle along to a party. It'll be full of college kids. I'm not sure if it's a good idea. As yet, being as I am unemployed, Bank Holiday days are pretty much the same as normal days.

alyasa · 05.29.2006, 05:01 PM

Didn't the Sex Pistols used to sing about this?

Toilet & Bowels · 05.29.2006, 05:38 PM

i spent the day reading comics, listening to music and fucking about on the internet.

Iain · 05.29.2006, 06:37 PM

I spent it doing a bit of reading, some shopping, some cooking and playing Black and White 2 and Half Life 2. I haven't played any computer games for a while so it was nice.

Iain · 05.29.2006, 06:38 PM

Oh, and also fucking about on the internet of course.

acousticrock87 · 05.29.2006, 07:49 PM

I love the UK threads. All this talk of "trundling about me flat" on the "holiday". I want to be British...

Oooooh! Is black and white 2 awesome as hell even more than the first? I sure do want to play it.
