What are the point of the following things, and would you be bothered if they were abolished?
- Counties
- Bank Holidays
- Citizens Arrests
I think they're all pretty silly. Now before anyone jumps on my back saying i'm on a wind-up in some sort of completely unecesaary "HOW COULD ANYONE NOT LIKE BANK HOLIDAYS, YOU'RE A TROLL" spiel, let me just say that i don't dislike them, i just don't see the point, and i'd rather just have another weeks holiday (were i employed, like), or get a week off at Christmas. Counties mean fuck all nowadays, it annoys me when people ask what county you live in like it's a vital bit of information, why, i've just given you my postcode, ffs. Regards Citizens Arrests, i just don't see how they could work unless the people physically restrained you, and nowadays you could probably just get them done for assault.
If you disagree with these ones, name something else, thanks.

Re: Bank holidays
I ain't working on New Years Day
Re: citizens arrest
I thought they didn't exist?
'Oh, you're a CITIZEN??? It's a fair cop then, guv'.
yeah, they'd be exempt.
Sorry, i should've made that clearer. Everyone would be entitled to Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day & their Birthday off. I was more meaning the stupid ones in May/August/whenever they are that mean millions of boring office workers start hyperventalating at the thought of having ONE WHOLE EXTRA DAY.
You are of course completely wrong
but my least favourite One Foot in the Grave episode is the Bank Holiday one where Victor, Margaret and Mrs Worboise (?) are stuck in the car - at least we would have been spared that.
birthday, eh?
you make an interesting case. I would give you my bank holidays, but in return get the corect number of extra days off that i can have off all during the year
do you know how great one day off can be?
It can radically change the mood of an entire week!
i fully understand this.
In one day i had, i had to use up my holidays in 5 months. I asked for every Wednesday off, they said no, cunts!
I think 'reasonable force' is allowed with citizen's arrest
So no heatbutting to the ground, or such stuff.

I mean, what is that?
inheritance tax!
how is a county any less important than a town?
Bank Holidays provide office excitement and communal joy.
Nobody gives a fuck that I have next Friday off.

ITV Sport
The North of England
'Musical Theatre'
i'm 2/3 completely angry at you right now.
I actually don't mind ITV sport. Everyone mocked their F1 coverage, but when it returns to the BBC they'll soon realise what they're missing. Their boxing coverage is better than Sky, far less sensationalist. I love watching The Championship aswell, with all their crazy camera angles and suave presenter casually sitting in the stand and cracking gags for the intros, them crazy fools. I just don't like Jim Beglin, Jon Champion, Peter Drury, Pleat, the other Gerrard-botherers. Overall, though, i think it's okay. Saying that, i thought The Premiership was better than Match of the Day (since Lineker's been hosint it), and i've nearly been beaten up for admitting that before now.

Pedantic point
You can't really have a citizens' arrest in this country, as you can only be a citizen of a replublic. We're subjects of a monarchy.
Sorry about that.
