This has been a public service announcement for those, like myself, who have been finding it difficult to keep track of the days.
As you were.
-
Yes, but which Thursday? Is this the 2rd or 3nd Thursday of this week?
I'm still annoyed that 2 weeks ago the week had 3 Tuesdays in it. I never did work out where Monday went...

For the record: April ended yesterday, though historians aren't sure when it began as records don't go that far back.
-
As, for clarity, did Thursday. Weirdly, I didn't see this thread until now.
-
I just saw this, because Kim posted, putting it into my unread list.
I didnt question the premise for some moments.

Mondays are being held in reserve until everyone goes back to work, at which point there'll be at least two months of nothing but, weekends included.
Something to look forward to.

Not bin day.
-
Thursday again.** Bin day tomorrow.*
*Check locally for details.
**Be aware that for some, this might be the first Thursday. In which case, welcome to Thursday! We're sure you'll have a great day in Thursday. Also be aware that due to time zone differences, for you this might be Wednesday or Friday. This will also be the case if you're reading this tomorrow or yesterday. In which case, happy time travel!

It's also Ascension, which is a holiday in France, ditto in Germany where it's rather sweetly called Christi Himmelfahrt. The polis here are merrily lying in wait for 4-day-weekend travellers alighting from trains, hoping to catch those who break the 100km limit and relieve them of 135€.
-
But is it grey bin Thursday or green bin Thursday?
-
Thursday again? We've had one of those already :(

I always get this mixed up with Assumption, which is Maria Himmelfahrt. I think that's in June. Then again, I might be thinking of Corpus Christi. Going to have to look these up now!

its blue bin day here today.

<Catholic upbringing>
Corpus Christi is next Thursday (between The Ascension and Pentecost/Whitsun.
The Assumption is August 15th
</Catholic upbringing>
And today is green bin day here (it used to be Monday, but they've changed it since they restarted green collections after the initial lockdown when they were cancelled).
Not that we have a green bin, but I was treated to the site of the wagon reversing done the road outside my 'office' this morning. Glad I don't have to do that manoeuvre.
-
That'll be why I missed PMQ's this lunchtime
-
We have a blue bin for recyclables and an orange one for the rest. Actually, we have two orange ones, a gift from the council when we moved in here 30 years ago. With kids & in-laws gone we only need one, so the other served for years as a water butt. One year, when it was full of rain water, we had a bloke in to do some fencing work. When he was taking his pay he said "oh, that bin of yours: it was full of water so I emptied it for you and left it down flat".
-
Thursday is bin-day for us. We also had a diary entry for a phone call, involving us, Jan's sisters and our Melbourne daughter. That used up a couple of hours this morning/evening, depending which end of the phone you were on.
-
I might be thinking of Corpus Christi.
Nah, that's a University Challenge team.
As opposed to when that corpse is Chisti. Then you need to contact an undertaker...

I'm sorry, Steve C beat you to the buzzer!
-
Yep, today is timesheet day! Fortunately I only had to remind one person.
-
It is green bin day here, that's the rubbish collection. The black bin is recycling.
The black bin is also half the size of the green bin which is most annoying.
-
Black bin, black box, green big, brown bin and blue bag all tomorrow for us.
-
Wednesday is bin day up here. Yesterday it was the recycling collection.
Thursday is was Moorings Krakatoa day :(
-
Today is Not Thursday. Instead, it's Bank Moliday Honday. But why? It's annoying when the bakery is shut but I've got to work anyway!
(just to be clear, the annoying this is the bakery being shut, depriving me of baked treats, not me working)
-
This thread has usefully reminded me to put the bin out, in case the bin men come early again.

It's not a bank holiday Monday it's a Glasgow Holiday, the east coast is open*, the west coast is shut.
* Subject to current closures

In forest fr1ends land, bins day is Tuesday.

-
Tuesday is bin day here, Bank Holiday Monday has me scrabbling around in the "drawer of keys" to find the leaflet that explains when it's not Tuesday
-
Since they were outsourced our binmen have to work Bank Holidays as per normal days.
-
Ours seem to have been doing that since they were insourced. That is, since the council took the contract back from the commercial outfit that cocked it up before. Although you can never be entirely sure; they'll collect on Good Friday or Friday VE Day (our day is Friday) but then delay till the following Monday after a week beginning with a BHM.
-
In all seriousness I have no idea when it's a bank holiday or local holiday here.
The list at work covers the 3 council areas but that's just Dundee, Perth and (I think) Arbroath holidays.
We should probably have moved on from the burgh holidays at regionalisation in 1974, it was bad enough having to make a hasty retreat to the dinner hall at school when discovering it was a St Andrews holiday, but the madness of having the whole country off on the same days mah too far...

No, Thursday. I’ve got the day written on this piece of paper...

The day after the day after tomorrow is the last Thursday. It's to be renamed Wedfriday.

That's what Bank Holidays do to you :-[

I think it's Thursday today.
Barakta's mum just phoned to check...
-
I confirmed to my wife, who thought yesterday was today, which is Thursday
-
I was on the phone to my The Boss today to discuss my impending unfurloughment. He apologised that he didn't call yesterday as planned but "got his days muddled up." I pointed out that I, as the furloughed one, was living a structureless life and he, still working, should really know which day it is.
-
I have the opposite problem. I might, or might not have started my new job yet, and my new boss (or not) is on furlough. I've not spoken to him, but with a thirteen month old baby I doubt he knows what day it is. Still, I put a tick in the box for the old boss for end of year review.
-
(Checks contents of fridge, counts on fingers)
Must be Friday.
-
I keep thinking it's Saturday and then realizing it's Friday. That's be nice if I were still working because then I'd still have a complete weekend ahead but being retired, who cares?
Come to that, Monday's a holiday here, being Pentecost. Not that I'm religious or anything but Catholic countries are great for having bunched-up holidays, and May is the best month of the lot.
-
Right im confused.
Do I need to
a) head out on the bike
Or b) phone the boss and apologise for sleeping in and not being at work?
Either way I think I'm going to go and see if St Andrews is carnage.

Is it a proper Thursday today or a secondary type of Thursday, like a Tuesday perhaps? Because it's ten past eight and there's been no clapping.
-
I thought the clap got cured last week?
-
Dunno. I think I remember clapping last week. Has it been officially stopped then? And why?
-
No clapping, the Sun/Wail must have ordered it.
-
Isn’t it kneeling this week?

The clapping was bollux anyway.

So we're the frikkin fireworks
WTF were they about anyway?
-
I was out for a jog last night and wondered why a couple of people were on their balconies clapping - then realised it was 8pm, and they must not have got the memo!
-
Blimey! I always thought it had been suggested by a government minion; a sidekick of D*m*n*c C******s, probably. Pretty sure it didn't start as early as March here, either. I did like the window rainbows though.
-
Excuse me, I created this thread as a public information service so that people would know on a Thursday what day it was. I don’t want you lot cluttering it up with clapping nonsense. >:(
;D
-
It is no longer Thursday.
HTH.
-
Can we install a countdown to the next time it's Thursday?
-
This is potentially quite a useful site, I think:

I'm kind of hoping that children's art on display in windows is a thing that can stay...

OK, windows. Yes, we can keep windows. (but not on 'puters please).

Better still it could be isolated in a VM and forgotten about.

I saw a great one yesterday that was clearly not children's art. A quilted rainbow, quilt-sized, with the one word 'Hope' below.
I'd upload an image but my flickr account has space like flickr has vwls.
-
Children, bored students, people with art skills, they can all stay.
The corporate printed rainbow posters, not so much. Mistake agents and their ilk have better ways of supporting key workers.
-
I've been taking pictures of rainbows as I spot them while out walking or cycling.
I might get round to collating them, or deal with them in a huge post lockdown epic facebook album splurge.
-
I feel the urge to introduce a new term to the lexicon
Today is Thursday Eve
I believe the world is now a better place for its introduction.
-
You know what's going to happen with that? It'll get contracted to Thursdeve. Over time this will become First Eve and taken to refer to the Biblical creation of mankind on the sixth day, which proves the week actually begins on Saturday, and therefore Thursday is actually on Tuesday. Which I think we knew all along.
On the other hand, it might become First Steve, which would be good to wind up those annoying fundamentalists who like to say "Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve".

No, it will become Für Steve, the title of a new classical music hit.

I feel as if today is Friday. I’ve been a day ahead of myself all week.

Where as I have been a day behind ever since I had Monday off work. :facepalm:
-
Well, it feels like a Thursday to me.
-
What day is it today? (https://www.facebook.com/soverybritish/posts/3310294352351763)
-
It comes around once a week, just like clockwork.
-
Yesterday was Thursday, and no one reminded me. Luckily when I woke up this morning, I realised it was Thursd'after and that means it's bin day. In fact the binnies haven't been yet.
-
Our binmen also come on Thursdays. Since the Coronalurgi they're abroad in the evenings rather than at sparrow fart, presumably because their minicabbing gigs have dried up.
-
One hour to Thursday.
Our bin men come on Thursday.
All four bins tomorrow!
(Green waste, food waste, recyclable, landfill)
-
I've already confused myself by getting ready for work in the morning like it's Sunday night.
Had my first full workday off since the end of March and I'm still going to be carrying a full day's worth of flexi over to the new block next week.

Being self employed I normally don't work on my birthday , but I have been helping a mate out since lock down . So today I have shuttering to strip and a bay to prepare . Three of us have got 7.5 m3 of rapid set scrap yard mix concrete to lay . The next bay to excavate and hard core . Then I am off to my own job to strip then erect scaffolding . Well they reckon hard work never killed any one .
-
Yes, yes it is!
-
It must be. I've put the rubbish sacks out.
-
I’ve just noticed. It’s not Thursday anymore.

It is 21:52. There are binmen emptying BIIINNNSSS in Larrington Towers Road. This madness must cease.
-
At 23:59 I can report my bin is standing at the end of the drive awaiting the arrival of the bin men tomorrow morn.

You're lucky. Our lot start throwing them around at 04:30.
-
It's Thursday, it's 05:45*, it's BIIINNNSSS! Normalitude is restored, probably until next week.
* Well, it was when I was rudely awakened by the sound of emptying BIIINNNSSS.

I had my Friday ruined by it being pointed out it's actually Thursday...

And I had a colleague appologise that her timesheet would be submitted tomorrow morning. Thereby reminding me that today is Thursday and I should be completing mine.

I remember on-line timesheets, and the frantic scrabble for job codes that would accept hours without adverse budget implications. The high-stress point of the week. Project managers who wanted your input but were not prepared to give you a job code. I'm glad that's all behind me....

It's not so bad at the moment, I have a full time secondment so it all goes on one project, I just have to divi it up between the different sub project tasks. The nice bit is the project file structure is based on teh task number so if the PM wants any input saved to the working folder they have to give me the task code.
