    Plans for the Bank Hol Weekend

    Couldn't see another so hopefully no KUATB required.

    So, what are your plans for the extended weekend (weather permitting)?

    KUATB
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      My plan

      Avoid going out (it's a bank holiday), avoid supermarkets (it's a bank holiday), avoid DIY shops (it's a bank holiday).

        Working. Not a BH over here.
        What happens in General, stays in General.
        You know what they say about assumptions!

          Collecting a couple of antiques I rashly put in a bid for by filling in a couple of slips last weekend.

          Auctioned on monday, and mine were the highest bids for both - A bullseye clock and a George III mahogany dressing table mirror, for 400 smackers the pair, not bad considering there's a very similar one on sale for £1250 at Antique Georgian Mahogany Dressing Table Mirror : The British Antique Dealers' Association

          Anyone heard of bullseye clocks? Did they ever have a practical use? There seem to be very few web pages on them. Basically it looks like a clock embedded in a spherical glass ball, so the face is magnified, and it's a genuine antique, no quartz rubbish

            How disappointing. I thought you meant a clock that had been a prize on Bullseye.

                I am going to some sort of festival thing.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Ditto. You can't beat a bit of bully.
