      Flippin eck - Greenland in the new year? It'll be about -60 degrees, with howling snowstorms.

      Have a good time though - I'm sure there's lots to do there

        The *very* southern end of Greenland. Have friends there so it'll be a number of evenings of music and merry-making

            No major planned holidays, since I don't get paid for time off, and whilst I can manage a day or two a month, any more than that and I'm in Pooh Creek.
            Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              Still reasonably high, but Air Greenland still fly in January so I'm not too bothered!

                That sounds so flipping great. 'Oh I was up in greenland for new years and we got snowed in for a week'

                    For some obscure reasons a long weekend in England is turning into a overly long stay.

                    I think I shall escape in the next day or so and go watch the Tour de France in person, rather than over the net.

                      Contractor - don't do holidays. Let all the permies go on holiday so I can sit around the office with nothing to do and rake it in then take time off and do spontaneous things. My last contract the manager told me to take a holiday otherwise I'd burn out, I replied 'how? Doing what? This contract is a holiday.' Remember I already live in a foreign land so its like being on holiday all the time. During the summer it is pretty damn hot here so I can get up, slowly, go into town, sit in a cafe in the centre drinking Eis Cafe watching all the pretty girls go by then off to the Biergarten. Why sit on a beach or look at all the touristy things with loads of other people the same as you?
