Even the ones without the in-laws.  Two years ago I bumped into an old mate I hadn't seen for nearly 20 years while on holiday. Me with my four and him with his five lads. Asked him how they were all enjoying their break and he laughed and said "you know the script. This isn't a break for the likes of me and you".

ohhh_yeah 3626 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22  3:30 in the afternoon and I am still hungover like I was as a teenager. Went to the the Polish festival here in town the past two days. Been going for 17 years. Last night they announced they needed volunteers because the normal crew were all drunk. I volunteered of course. They gave me 5 Kielbasas, Kapusta, 25 perogies, and Chleb. 20 minutes into breaking down the band came back on stage and played another polka song. Then announced the beer garden was now back open with self serve. For the next two hours I necked downed Zwiec, Weizen, Miłosław Pszeniczne, and Tyskie Ksiazece. As I was leaving one of the staff asked me if I wanted a bottle of Podlaskie. I told him I did not enjoy red wine. He promptly dumped out the full bottle and filled it with Miłosław Pszeniczne. I fucking the love the Polish community here.  5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could've had a can at 7am to power through it and done a full shift by half three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a truer word spoken.  Louis CK (I know) used to have a bit about taking the wife and kids on holiday, packing the car, getting everyone in the car, and the noise of the kids rabbiting on and have you remembered this, blah blah blah.  Anyway the punchline was that when he closed the car door on the last kid, and all of the noise and stress was contained in a car that he wasn't yet in, the walk from the back door around the car to the driver's door.... "THAT'S my vacation".  Edited September 23 by Gemmill 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 42147 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I had quite a relaxing holiday in the summer even with the kids in tow but the recent long weekend in the lakes (not helped by the inclement weather) was anything but relaxing. Being stuck in a cabin with the kids, dogs and de facto in laws was brutal  her dad is bang into GB News and basically spent 3 days watching it on his tablet. At least there was a break in the weather and I went for a walk up Wansfell on the Saturday morning. That hour and a half was my holiday 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fat cunts all bring their "Bubba cups", which are just big insulated drink containers so they can go to the bar and get more shit beer and "sodas". Basically Alan Partridge taking his own plate to the Linton Travel Tavern buffet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63144 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Just googled Bubba Cups and they've gone upmarket, all polished chrome and that. Back when I saw the Yanks using them, they were cheap looking plastic hand barrels. Â 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 27766 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 That's more Canadians in my experience, certainly was in Cuba where there were no yanks. Not that said yanks are any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63144 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Yanks for me, in Cozumel and Curaçao. There was a bunch of Canadian animals on one of these holidays. A big family, all fat pigs, all the blokes with proper chest length beards and they just stayed in the pool all day getting mortal. One of them spewed in the pool, fortunately on our last day. Dirty cunts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty cunts.  Probably mentioned it before, but I went to Cancun on my honeymoon, in 95. Room only. Was fantastic, the city was buzzing, went out every night for food and drinks. Chichen Itza, Tulum etc, completely unspoilt too.  Went back in 2010. All the hotels were AI including ours. Put all the city bars and restaurants put of business, it was a ghost town. The local attractions also over developed. Canadians and yanks sitting in the pool by the pool bar probably pissing where they sat. Even the snorkeling was shit as a hurricane had wrecked the reefs. Anyway, if you have a dream holiday, never go back is my advice. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 43921 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 They're fucking mental the yanks. First time I properly saw them in groups was in Mexico, one said he was Irish then asked me where Ireland was when he twigged I was possibly European, (one heard me speak and said 'You're Australian, right?') Â I was talking to the American who was 'Irish' and he left us with his younger wife for ten minutes, came back, said my name, I turned around and he had a big camcorder pointed at me and then said, 'Dave, say hi to the folks back home in New Orleans'. I laughed and embarrassedly said, 'alreet' and left it at that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 43921 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Sitting with a young couple in a sitting type attachment in the pool telling them how our house had part of the Roman wall built into it and me walking past segedunum at six in the morning in winter with the mist coming off the Tyne and the hairs on my neck standing up as I heard hobnailed boots approaching me. Wor lass bollocked me when we got back to the room but their faces were gobsmacked, I could've literally sold them London bridge. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Alan Partridge taking his own plate to the Linton Travel Tavern buffet. Aye, they’re a different breed. There was a pair of lads there that were caning the Jack Daniel’s shots as soon as the bar opened. Went past them about 2 and a half hours later and one of them was face down in a bush. I’d have helped him but he was like something off My 600lb Life 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
