[Drinking] Did you know? - The Pub Debate

[TomandJerry]

Did you realize it was a leap year this year?

 

[pasty]

Only realised yesterday when I mentioned to a colleague I was looking forward to payday on Wednesday

 

[Yes Chef]

Yeah, Olympics innit.

Plus we put a date on everything we make at work

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I knew, but seeing as I don't rely on paydays anymore, didn't care.

 

[The Clamp]

I get paid on the same date each month, whatever day it fails on. Sunday, Easter, Leap year. So it makes no odds, hence I didn’t realise. Or care.

 

[Bakero]

Yes, as one company I work with I only do the first 28 days of the month. 29th, 30th, 31st are always free. So this week I'm off work Thursday and have given myself Friday off too

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Surely for this to be a debate, somebody has to argue that it isn't, in fact, a leap year.

Hahaha - I don't have that problem.


We had a meeting yesterday where we were told we weren't being paid and we'd get our wages at some point in March.

I'm just grateful I didn't commit to a hefty outlay 72 hours earlier...





...oh.

Only a day or two ago. Doesn‘t matter anyway, has no impact on me

 

[KZNSeagull]

This cannot have been much of a debate. Hope the beer was good

 

[PHCgull]

it will be four years to the day since my wife proposed to me

You seem to argue / debate the oddest things down this pub you frequent.

What’s the name of this pub and where is it?

 

[Normal Rob]

Yes, as it's my dad's best friends 20th birthday.

It's not a f***ing leap year. Fact.

It's a bissextile year.

You wet ponce.

Edit: was that too aggressive? I find it hard to judge these things.

 

[London Irish]

No, I just to ask someone, just as well have done nothing to prepare for Rome yet, gives me (err) an extra day?

It had been argued both ways until a calendar behind the bar was pulled out

Same thing, isn’t it?

Either way, I was rather trepidatious as I googled it

It was one of those that went on for far longer than it should have done.

Multiple people involved until the bar man pulled his calendar out!

No-one in IT in the pub then? Years divisible by 4 are leap years unless it is a year at the turn of a century in which case they must be divisible by 400.

 

[Chicken Run]

The clue for me was it’s every four years and the last one was in 2020, anyway more importantly the girls can apparently ask their partners for their hand in marriage on Thursday, be vigilant guys, head out all day if you have too, a good mate of mine got snared in 2020!!
