    I had to work last christmas day - didn't get any extra pay either. Was working in a homeless hostel though so I didn't mind that much.

    I'm going to try and get some temping work for xmas day and NYE, could do with the cash.

    Worked xmas day three times before, once as assistant manager at my pub on behalf of the manager, the year after as manager of that pub, and the year after running a mates bar. Didn't mind at all, was a good crack all three times, apart from the fact I was stuck in shitey Brum. :(

    A nobhead on fire? A nobhead who's just had a heart attack? A nobhead old lady who's heating's packed in? A nobhead who's cars broke down on the motorway? etc etc

    Fuck me - we're all nobheads.
