[Charlotte Harris]

Hello. Just wondering where everyone's going for easter weekend? Choc

 

[Beer]

You mean Chris J never booked our french canyoning trip for us    shouldn't you be doing your dissertation anyway, bloody students!

 

[Charlotte Harris]

I know!!! Its just not on Chris! My dissertation will be done and in my then hopefully, unless I conveniently broke my arm! Am still about 10,000 words away from the end of term but can't wait. Damn it, why do I leave everything until the last minute!!! You caving then?

I had been hoping to go over for the Irish forum but I'm working that weekend.

Hey, least you have started your dissertation! Mine is being thought about and will be started soon I hope  :-\ I will, all being well, be in Derbs for Easter or possibly will drive to Yorks tho is so far away! Spose it depends where everyone else is guna be. I get home from Spain on Good Friday, so can pick up kit and people from Southampton possibly too.

Yeah - Easter in France in the mountains!! - great idea - remember last year??

Canyoning with ice axes, crampons and immersion suits - now there's an idea - lol

 

[Chris J]

Actually I'm now thinking of trying to get up to Yorkshire if anyone else fancies it?

 

[slippery_matt]

Some people from Kent are going up to Yorkshire - not quite sure who, how many etc. but are staying in the YSS

Going home (Bømlo, west coast of norway). Maybe I'll have a poke around in a gold mine whilst I'm there

When is Easter Weekend? - how do people know about these things - there's nowt about it on my calendar or my phone calendar; come to think of it when are the bank holidays this year, when do the clocks change etc.?

 

[Peter Burgess]

The dates for Easter, Christmas and other Bank Holidays are clearly now set by the major supermarkets who plan for them many months ahead. I suggest you contact your local branch of Tesco who will be happy to sell you a list of dates with added Clubcard points of course.

 

[maxb727]

Good Friday is 6th April and Easter Monday is 9th April, though saying that the easter eggs have been on sale for months, silly supermarkets, they need to think up some more seasonal items to stock or we end up with Easter being 2 months long and Christmas being over 3 months long!!

Why don't Tescos et al have the balls to celebrate every religious festival from neo-paganism through to the Middle and Far Eastern religions? - they could sell shed loads of crap to shed loads of people. Perhaps they even sell sheds?

Peter, this is all getting WAY OFF THREAD.  :chair:

 

[Peter Burgess]

I've got three sheds. One for caving stuff, one for children's stuff, and one with a shedload of stuff I'm not allowed to keep in the house. All right, all right, I'll log off. Sorry.

Peter, this is all getting WAY OFF THREAD.  :chair:

Possibly more interesting than a bunch of students talking about skiving off on yet another holiday.

 

[Peter Burgess]

Can I continue, then?

and the only reason you lot complain is because you wana have the lovely long holidays we have  :tease: and if we could get back on thread  :spank:, us "skiving" students can plan our long holidays to maximise the amount of caving we do!
