Lol, he’s definitely passionate, you have to hand it to the lad!

zackster Every time you point out why I should hold my nose and vote for the nominee I nearly have a stroke.

Your situation is hopeless without a French-style revolution. Meanwhile vote for the person less awful to little people.

Or move to Finland. Most UK folks I know here never even bothered to learn the language, because you can get by with English EVERYWHERE.

      Also that would never happen now, the Scandinavian countries got a lot of shit done in the 70s socially. Without the Iranian revolution and Reagan you too would look a whole lot different now.

      Not sure if you’ve seen the news lately but we’re trying.

        Ah yes. I even saw someone bring a fake guillotine. 😃

        Corfu at the end of July for me.

        Two weeks in paradise.

        Hopefully heading to the in laws island beach house in South Carolina in two weeks. But, as with everything in the USA that the moment, tbd.

        I just started a new job 2 months ago, so no summer hols for me (and also, it would be pretty miserable to travel too far right now), but I live in a place people come to have their holidays, so I’ll be alright. Plenty of sun and sea here 🙂

        We’ve cancelled our summer holiday to Croatia (deposit on the balance is due on Monday, but fucked if I’m going to part with 3k if there’s no guarantee we’ll be allowed in or if anything will be open) but hoping to get to the States if it’s still there come October.

          …6-weeks leave starting next Wednesday 🙂

          Just the small matter of sourcing a new career while I’m at it

          Because it meant that France is now as socialist as Scandinavia?!

            The way work is going at the moment I’ll have no business by the end of the summer unless things pick up. So I won’t be going back to India.

            Summer holiday for me is getting back to work, which I finally did yesterday. Nice to be doing something, anything, again. Plus I get an additional 8 hours of vacation down the road for every week worked. I’ll take it.

            Everything I booked got cancelled skiing, Ibiza, Malaga , Glastonbury and Lisbon I hate covid

            Loveland in Amsterdam got postponed.

            Gutted, both Dixon and Sasha were on the line up.

            Its not cheap taking a family of four on flights during the summer holidays.

            We’ve bumped the holiday til next year instead.

              FabiParas we cancelled our Croatia hols this summer or rather Ryanair cancelled the flights first so forced the decision.
              Think ours was £900 for flights and self catering Villa was £2k for 14 nights, all based on a family of 4.

              Head to a resort or hotel and the price escalates very quickly!

                Yep, we’re not quite at the self catering / villa stage.

                What’s everyone’s situation with holiday allocation?

                I carried over 6 from last year so I could have a bumper year with it being my 50th (what a cunt this year has turned out to be), I’ve used 3 on a cycle training camps, 3 doing nothing and extending bank holidays. I’ve got 30 left and can only have 15 left by 1st September. I’ve got to take 15 days off in this shitty time by the end of August. I’m pretty fucked off.
