Title: Bank Holiday Weekend
Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, August 29, 2009, 17:28:36
Anyone got any plans?

I'm thinking takeaway and beers tonight. Lazy day tomorrow, possibly a BBQ depending on the weather then may pop along to 12bar for the Buswell farewell gig. Unsure of Monday at the moment.

Is it? Nice.

I've got beer in the fridge but not drinking any because I don't have any cigarettes and it will drive me mental.

You didn't realise it was a bank holiday weekend?

As a working man, my bank holidays are marked out way in advance. There's nothing better than a free day off work.

Sweet. The bank holiday means I don't have to get up tomorrow. Happppy times.

So now is drinking time. Although I'm going to be sad when I finish off the last of the red and have to go back to drinking Carling as it's all there is in the fridge.

Roast Beef earlier was superb.

What's the weather outlook for tomorrow? Might get the barbecue on the go.

I spent the weekend volunteering for charity behind the bar at Leeds festival. Free coach to Leeds from London, free festival ticket, our own camping area with showers, a toilet, and a bar which was open till 3am and only £1.50 a pint, two hot meals a day, and our own entrance to the main arena which meant that we could take as much booze in as we liked (unlike regular punters who are allowed to take in one 500ml bottle of sealed water). We had to do three 6 hour shifts over the festival, but even when we were working we had an amazing view over the main stage with perfect sound.. then at the end of the evening shifts we could take as much lager/cider/spirits/wine as we could carry..

It was a seriously good way to do an arena festival.

Then when we got back to London we spent the evening at the Notting Hill Carnival..

Workers beer operate the bars.. although I got involved directly through my charity.. it might be worth checking out which charities they work with first and approaching them directly.. 

This year the charities received £6.50 for every hour that we worked
