Unbelievably, it's Friday, before a bank holiday, and no-one has a "What are you plans?" thread on the go. Shocking. It's this kind of oversight that's causing a lull in the boards at the moment.
So: What are your plans for the long weekend that kicks off in two and a half hours?
PF:
I'm moving flat again tomorrow, which promises to be about as much fun as being stabbed in the eye with an icicle made out of Samuel Norton's frozen semen.
However later, in the day we're all going out for a meal here. I've been to that restaurant before, and it didn't look as tacky as it does there, and hopefully the fucktards in the hats won't be there, ruining it for everyone. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. A pleasant evening sat around with a bunch of mates, acting as though everything's OK.
Haven't got anything else planned for the weekend. Probably watch some films or something on Sunday. Maybe go and see UNleashed. Who knows? What's everyone else up to? Post now - you know it's the right thing to do. If this thread fails to hit 35 replies by the time I leave work (5.30), I swear I will depart TMO for good and never return, in any guise ever. Deal?

Tonight I'm going out for some drinks with some of my old college pals. Tomorrow I'm giving a friend a hand with installing a car stereo. Sunday I might have a tinker with the Mini and then Monday I'll probably just play Gran Turimo or something.

Do we even have 35 posters to make up your quota Thron? Some may have to post twice. Or I may have to post 33 more times, if everyone else is holding out to see if you'll stick to your promise.
NEWay, I'm going to a big house in Lllllllllllllandudno, overlooking the bay, with all my bestest friends, where we shall drink and celebrate two birthdays. And maybe have a picnic on a big hill overlooking the sea. As this weekend is a brief decompression zone between manic work and house-purchase-organisation (see above for eye/semen icicle comparison) I hope I can relax enough not to find some of the visiting children intensely irritating. Drink may be the answer.

Would it be less shit if I came to see you during the day on Saturday?
Erm, but apart from that, as soon as I finish work I think I might treat myself to a haircut. It's about time. At the moment there's a flap of hair on the back of my head that lifts up in the wind and I look like Mr Fucking Majeika. I may well be going to see Ringo fit a car stereo into his mates car. I havn't really made any definite plans yet, but you can be sure by god it will good.

Funnily enough, my Saturday is following the exact same pattern as Thorn's.
I remember when my family moved into their current home. I was about 5 and they packed me and my brother off to the beach for the day with some mates, and then in the evening my friend's mum drove me to our new home and I had this big new room with bunk beds! Perhaps if we just go to the beach tomorrow we'll come back to find all our stuff moved in for us?
Sunday and Monday will be spent writing up my locust experiment, once I've fiddled the results so the line on the graph looks like it's supposed to.

I was going to go and see my homegirl DiscoD up in the badlands of Bristol. We were going to go to some party at a disused cinema and go walking up Glastonbury Tor to see who could pull the fewest granola hairy-flapped sandalwearing vagina lesbians and ting. But then I have to do writing all weekend. Now my fascinating schedule is as follows:

Bastards. No bank holiday here. Is that why the boards are quiet, has everyone taken a week off just before the end of summer? Where's Black Mask? And can Kovacs come back please? And Mart.
Well, my non-bank holiday weekend will hopefully involve a bit of getting drunk and talking shite tonight but not too much because South Africa are playing the Kiwis tomorrow in the rugby at 9ish and I dont want to miss that. Then... um... shit...
Its no wonder I've started smoking weed. Gaborone is the most boring place in the entire world. Ever.

bank holidays are rubbish, especially ones that happen in the school holidays. It just means that everyone who is normally working while I swan around doing nothing is also off getting in my way and spoiling my (10 week) holiday Posts: 1268

The thought of TMO without Thorn has brought me out of posting seclusion. That's really all I have to say, except what on earth is a Bank Holiday?

I went in one of those things when I was about eight. At the time, it was the nearest thing I'd experienced to an hallucinogenic trip. I sometimes still go there in my mind.

You know in America, you have "holiday season"? Well in the UK, we have six of them a year, but they only happen in banks. Everyone has the day off work, and we all go to the bank to celebr7 and cheer with a hearty meal of turkey and pig eggs.
Blur wrote a song about it once. I forget the name...

sitting around doing not much. Wasted some money gambling, gonna play poker with friends tonight hopefully, bought some music, oh and I got chilli pepper injected under my skin last week. Very painful, the man said I got a "good reaction" because the redness spread so far. Trying to tidy my room but I just can't get up te effort knowing I'm gonna be in Italy next year.
Found out my school in italy is a boarding school so hopefully free accomodation and food, huzzah!

Is this what life is like without TMO? I dont like it when the UK has a bank holiday. Ah well, we get more public holidays here than you guys anyway.
Last weekend I got to test drive a friends Mercedes ML500 while a bit pissed. It got a puncture. I was a little surprised too, I mean it looks a little like an off-roader I thought it would be able to handle the bit of dirt road (which my ancient corolla drives down everyday) a little better than that.
It looked a lot like this. Except it was going pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I've just taken a walk up to the shops and the weather is hot but it makes everything seem really clean. All the broken glass shards from last nights boozing are glistening like jewels on the pavement. All the kids are imprisoned to play sports forever behind the silhouetted slats of Finsbury Park fence. It's beeyootiful. I was walking around the comparatively freezing Sainsburys and dodging children. At one point I was nearly involved in a hit and run with a childe on a scooter. He stopped though and I gave him my best grown-up 'you'll have an accident/You could end up in the biscuit rack' face. My coke bottle is sweating in the heat. Oh, and I'm watching Bad Religion tonight. Swee[a]t.
