well the ways its going we will have no Health service so I will give you that but i REFUTE THAT WE HAVE NO GUN CONTROL nottingham is not within Yorkshire yet
(we are in the process of anexing cumbria, so it will be a while before we get round to Notts)

I don't need thanksgiving. those extras days off would just get lost in amongst my other 211 days off a year. 
On saying that though, the 21 days I just had off just zipped in and felt like I wasn't at home for long. Such is life, another 13 days and I'll get my next 21 days off

Dave, I would like you to take all those days off and shove them up your drill-shaft!

Is that one of those code words that only a Vaseline-swathed-tan-salon-frequenting skin care afficinado would know?

I am sure you could have worked in a few other drill terms into that sentence as well. e.g. nipple-up, penetrator, lubricator and packer and probably many more!

You started it! So don't go mentioning pulling out or reaming. And when you go dressing the window, you're not showing your feminine side and going looking for curtains!

Let's not forget where mr. Auld works (I probably didn't get the platform right, but) - it's a long way from home[^], so his days off are well deserved. You only get that kind of isolation if you're working on a platform, a ship, or doing time ...

I bet you've had some fairly nasty trips getting back and forth, as I know the weather of North Sea can get pretty rough.
BTW: You just need to make that trip three times as long and you're at my place

We get the odd delay due to weather, but nothing excessive. The bad weather tends to come through in short bursts, so you see a few hours delay then it calms down again.
We get more delays due to fog than we do due to high winds/sea state. Even the bad deep low that is hitting the UK today is unlikely to cause us any problems.
Last years hurricane about this time was the worst I had seen the weather for long time, that hit over 115mph winds and is a rare event, 70mph winds are not unusual. You tend to get used to the weather when it is bad so it becomes the norm. So when you see them moaning on the telly at home, it is just another day out here.

We Canadians get an early thanksgiving  , and tomorrow we get a second thanksgiving by not having to deal with Americans.

I've learned my lesson - I'll never pick on Canadians again.

It's not possible to give enough thanks for that.

I saved two vacation days this year just for this. I'll be home tomorrow watching the afternoon and evening NFL games and then Friday head north to my cottage to inspect some recent additions being made for me. Not only is it great to have just a 3 day work week, but I can't wait for the 4 day weekend to start.

I'm Mexican, and regarding the amount of days off, sometimes I wish I was back there, in Mexico you get almost twice as much days off, in fact, my wife (who is working back there) just got two days off this week.

If you keep pointing out areas where Mexico is better than the USA then you'll end up destroying my pig-headed, USA-centric world view.
Please don't hurt me like that.
