This weekend is the most valuable thing in the civilised world... A Bank Holiday!

Three days off work. Hurrah *\o/*

What're people doing for it?
Spending time with loved ones?
Escaping from their loved ones?
Sleeping for 88 consecutive hours?
Slaying dragons?

The Spring Bank Holiday is especially good for me as it tends to fall within a few days of my birthday, so I'm off down to Londinivm to see my girlfriend, and go out for an Indian with her and some other friends. Mmm, curry :)

I disagree. The most valuable thing in the world is lemon meringue pie.

I disagree. The most valuable thing in the world is being happy with oneself.

Hmm... It sounds like we need a poll to settle this...

Masturbation?

As for the 3 days: Not for me, so meh.

You're asking for a lemoney vengeance.

Bring it on! I've never refused pie. ;)

Mmm... Pie :fluffle:

THOU SHALT PERISH IN THE CRUST, BLASPHEMER.

Oh no, no. There will be no lemon for thou. It's all crust on your plate, fiend.

Oh no, no. There will be no lemon for thou. It's all crust on your plate, fiend.

Sorry, mate. Already perished and all that. Not much you can do about it.

No bank holiday for you?
Boo :( Why not?
</vainattempttogetthreadbackontrack>

I'm going to spend Monday recovering from Sunday Night. I'm seeing Thursday at the Manchester Academy 2 and taking pie.

I may have never refused pie, but I have refused zombification on multiple occasions.

most valuable thing(s) are both highly subjective, very much changing from person to person, and also irreplacable... loved ones :)


other than that, of course it's pie.

if you assume 'bank holidays' to metaphorically refer to any sort of day off from doing the usual drudgery...

[incl. but not limited to christmas, easter, melbourne cup, olympic games, australia day, new years, queen's bday, labour day, annual leave, school hols, sick leave, and weekends]

then, yes, bank holidays - cant live without them

if you assume 'bank holidays' to metaphorically refer to any sort of day off from doing the usual drudgery...

in theory, yes... but some people are still gonna have to work over the weekend :(

getting monday and tuesday off to go to london with glitzi though :D so i guess that makes up for the weekend :cool:

I say happiness is pretty sweet. I mean, really, everything else you might say you like really boils down to you liking it 'cause it makes you happy, right? And being happy with oneself must mean that you're just generally happy. So, therefore, THAT one is obviously the logical answer!

Pretty awesome logic, neh? ;)

I disagree. The most valuable thing in the world is lemon meringue pie.

But which is better, lasting world peace or lemon meringue pie? Obviously the pie. Why? Because nothing is better than lasting world peace, and lemon meringue pie is better than nothing.

QED.

Of course nothing beats masturbation.

Yeah. Bloody brilliant. :cool:

Pretty much, but they're special as they're not deducted from my measley 20 days per year of holiday allowance :)

There seem to be a prevelence of people, whose names begin with 'A', trying to bring logic to an innocent thread here ;)

Maybe they think logic is the most valuable thing in the world. :cool:

why thankyou

perhaps, in order to discover the most valuable thing in the world, one has to use logic. thus, logic is the most valuable thing in the world since it is the only thing that can be used to discover the most valuable thing in the world, which is itself.

geddit??

goddit. but intuition works quite as well.

Ah, but if you're arguing backwards, then wouldn't 'emotion' be the most valuable thing in the world? Look at animals, for example. I would hardly consider a dog capable of 'logic' thoughts, really, and yet they can be some of the happiest creatures on the planet. This goes to show that logic is not a necessity for happiness, which is undoubtably the most valuable thing in the world, as I described earlier. :cool:

Awesome. My poll option is winning. :)

As is mine. :p

The most valuable thing in the world is indeed myrth.

So, the poll shows that most folks who vote here are too dim to understand what value actually is..
.
*is rolling over with sheer myrth*

if happiness is the most valuable thing in the world, then, well...
gawdamit you've got me stumped
i can only think of stupid points about materialism
but in order to get happiness, you must also...erm..nope - you pretty much just have to be happy

but you need to be logical (fine, or intuitive) to discover you are happy
whats the point of being happy if you don't realise it?

The Bible 'cause it teaches the word of God And Jesus and Da Holy Spirit.

F*** money!!

The most valuable thing in the world is... life. Without life, we wouldn't be able to experience all these other things like money, masturbation, pies, utimate power etc.. :cool:

Aha! You found a loophole through my super-logic! Congrats! :p

(I thought my theory was rock-solid, honestly. :D )

God.

Such an obvious answer.:rolleyes:

the most valuable thing in the world is a dark chocolate hobnob. or a pint of beer. or friends.

why thankyou

Logical people arent all that smiley as a rule.

Other - Mutual masturbation.

The most valuable thing is the world is companionship.

God.
God is beyond the world.

True but He is more valuable to me.

Leaving aside the debate 'aboot' whether or not we have faith in Her --

Technically speaking, the poll asks "What is the most valuable thing in the world?", not "What is the most valuable thing, period?". As God is generally agreed not to be a worldly object/being/nexus/computer, we move on to more earthly objects.

Thus, I'll have to go with lemon meringue pie.

I'll go with The Bible which is the Word of God.

Freedom of Expression. You should see the burning anger in my eyes when people try to censor me.

Dude, just say personal happiness: it covers all that.

1 Money
2 A love to call your own and be happy
3 family and friends
4 and Health.

all this and I'd be trully happy, enough said.

I say being happy with oneself!

Well, you have to explain yourself. You can't simply pop in and expect everyone to take your word for it.;)

The most valuable thing in the world is time.
