Bank holiday

[fishybawb]

Long weekend on the way! Do all countries have bank holidays?

[porsch1909]

The question you should ask is do all countries have banks ;)

[fishybawb]

Perhaps it's only the British ones that get tired and need a holiday after counting all the cash :p

[porsch1909]

Or tired after posting so many unpaid credit card bills :rolleyes:

[DozerLYP]

what is the holiday in your country, it can't be the same as us. this weekend is "Memorial Day" in memories of the one how died in combat.

[porsch1909]

Let me take some holidays first!

I need my rest....Then i will get myself a just above min wage, 7 days a week, 12 hours shift job to entertain me:rolleyes:

[DozerLYP]

what you guys have Holidays for no reason, here there's always a reason why we have Holidays...

how often you get reasonless Holidays?

PS; one thing is for sure, no matter what the reason is for the Holiday. always remember to get a large amount of Beer...http://www.fancysplace.com/smileys/caisses.gif

It's called a bank holiday - I'm sure there's some boring reason as to why we don't need to go to work on them, but I can't be bothered to look it up at the minute.

And the beer's already bought :D

Try working full time and going to school full time, THEN rest. Full-time students (unless you're in a prestigious, top-tier medical school) have it pretty easy.

My uni came top for medicine last year :rolleyes:

But still yeh we have it pretty easy :p

[fishybawb]

Apologies for the PDF link, I couldn't find anything else.

[porsch1909]

As long as we beat Ediburgh we are happy...

And as long as the graduate emplyment figure stays at a nice figure I'm also happy :p

[tantone]

Your uni may have beaten the others in medicine, but are YOU in that medical school?

[porsch1909]

yeh...:rolleyes:

[tantone]

I thought you were finishing your undergraduate degree? You're actually IN medical school? As in, the next degree you earn is your MD?

[Bigjakkstaffa]

I'm off to the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff this bank holiday to see my beloved Hartlepool United take on Sheffield Wednesday in the Coca Cola League One Playoff Final (The irony being that i spend more time living in Sheffield these days than i do back home in poolie land).

It's a part of history i tells you

In the Uk you don't need to do a pre medical thing. After you leave high school you should be about 18 and you can get straight into medicine. Or if you want you can do a degree then go into medicine. Priority is given to school leavers though

Initiallyi thought that going straight to medical school after school isn't a good idea because well I'd be only 17. So started a science degree. Decided it was a waste of 4 years and got admitted the medical school luckily....

My sister is a graduate of Glasgow medical school though....and is purchasing one of those new SLK mercedes thingys....:(

Next degree isn't an MD its an MBChB. Just different letters in the UK for a Dr. In other places it is MBBS or something
