So anybody got any good plans for Easter?
I'm going to be working all over it, it has been organised by my higher-ups so that they still get the majority of their Easter break whilst I and my colleagues effectively only get Friday off.


Yay.

I didn't
but can verify this to be true, my brother's old landlord put himself through a four-year college course and paid for the rent on a large house by growing for one year.

I have also myself have profited from this business as a kind of shareholder. I took no risk and got a grand's worth of weed for £400. When I see these TV ads for ISAs etc and the pathetic returns they offer compared with that shit, I always chuckle to myself.

The penalties are so minor there really is little in the way of a deterrent.

I haz good Easter planned
Good Friday is my nephew's 14th birthday and we're taking him for tapas. I've also been invited to the Cathedral for mass. I've told them I'll go if the Pope's resigned by then.
Saturday the bf is coming to stay (woo and yay) and I'm going to only show him the picturesque and cultural parts of Liverpool (yes there are plenty, you cunts.)
I am missing the annual Easter piss-up and jam session at my parents' on Easter Sunday. We're all mildly disappointed but agree that this is infinitely better than inflicting the extended family on the young man.

I am also taking Tuesday off so that I can lie on the sofa, drink booze and watch old films.
