Bank holiday

SpookyWriter · Jul 25, 2008

So where are you going? I'm trying to arrange for my holiday in Amsterday, but dang if I still haven't got my laser card yet. :rant:

I haven't even received the pan for my atm card, so how will I buy my ticket?

Lovely. I have to visit the bank today, which is half hour by bus, to get cash out for the weekend.

I really need a holiday. Bad.

With a load of duty-free and a venereal disease, I assume?

STD is always duty free.

Oh. I probably won't have a job by then anyway.

What's a bank holiday?

What's a laser card?

What's a pan for your ATM card?

What are you talking about, spooky?

Hmph. Only open six-and-a-half hours a day, and they get an extra day's holiday....

Public holiday. Basically no work, which is a good thing.

What's a laser card?
Irish debit card.
What's a pan for your ATM card?
Ok, no idea on this one - maybe he started on the Guinness half way through his post?

PAN is your personal access number. Not the peter kind.

Since the EU states don't have individual holidays they (the EU biggies) came up with bank holiday in lieu of "St. Andrews" day. There's like four bank holidays and five national (i.e. Christmas)
