ctp080188 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 What did everyone get up to on the rare weekend we call Bank Holiday? Think this only applies to people in the UK? Sorry! I took a trip to Notting Hill Carnival, spent a small fortune on jerk chicken (yum... I want some more :P ) and ghana flags, whistles etc. for my boyfriend. The music was amazing, and some of the dancers were just :shock: WOW. The carnival plays a mixture of soca, reggae, bashment, hip hop and RnB. Also some traditional African drumming and loads of steel drums etc. Trying to leave however was a different matter, the number of people was staggering, and trying to move through them while the floats were passing, was mission impossible. So anyways, despite police suspecting carnival to be a site of terrorist attack, no such thing occured, and it truely was a great day out. SHH HUT YUH MUH. DERKHED.

Azvareth Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Don't people in the UK have bank holidays like once every month? That's what I heard anyway. Sounds like you had a good time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azvareth Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 He made it sound like it was once/twice a month. Oh well, 8 times a year is still pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I went to the last day of the Mathews Street Festival. To be honest, I've just got back and it finished nearly a day ago. Hehe, good times ;) This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
