The Really long weekend thread

[wisp]

It a really long weekend coming up , i am taking the Tuesday off to make it a 6 day weekend and off to Marloth , whats the other nag forum members plans?

[onona]

I'm visiting friends for a few days, and then going to Iceland for a few days for some volcano sightseeing, whale watching and snowmobiling.

[echo]

I have the whole of this week off, which will be occupied with endless co-op gaming with a friend visiting from PTA. And then next week I have to work those 3 days. Work meaning LAN Unreal Tournament at our offices. Woohoo!

[Cleric]

I'm off to Clarens (Free State) to visit the in-laws. Will be taking the Wii with to finally finish SMG2 if time allows. Otherwise the weekend will be filled with wine, good food, golf, and weather permitting, maybe horse-ridding through Golden Gate nature reserve.

[Azraphael]

Buying a house and a new car, my bank manager must be loving me right now. So much goddamn running around to do though, with a bit of luck I will be done by Thursday or Friday so I can sit and play games all weekend. I'm really loving Forza 3 at the mo.

You can't go to that beautiful place and play games, shame on you! My uncle does the hiking routes at the hotel, there are some breathtaking hikes to go on if, like you said, the weather allows it. :P

I'm just going to go lan at my friends house, then fishing on monday, will hopefully get my car back before the weekend otherwise I'm limited with options.

[Nferno]

I was planning to get away, anywhere. Then an unexpected shutdown came up and pushed out our schedule, so we've now been working around the clock to get about 4 weeks worth of work done before Thursday so the crew can take a much needed rest and go see their families.

If we get it done within the required timeframe, then I'll be headed to Durban and hopefully get some beach time in. If we can't get it done in time, we have to stick around until Saturday when our next shut timewindow opens.

Growing up sucks.

I'm there once every 2 months or so, and have been for the past few years, so I've done most of the hikes, fly-fishing, and drives that are available. We're really going down more for the family time, and if their weather stays as it is, it will be perfect to get in some gaming on the side.

[nukehead]

Camping somewhere around the Ceres Mountains and then hopefully having a little stop in to the Rock the River festival which is also happening in a similar area. Should be good times as the camping is with a whole group of mates and should be quite a lot of fun. Also no projects at the moment so I am a happy camper. [Oh shi- that was completely unintentional, I apologize profusely]

[Shaderow]

Well since my internet cap is gone (ty very much crysis2) ill be trying to finish my first novel and gears 2 on insanity, halo 3 on legendary and ME2 on insanity.

[Drone]

I'm going to watch Sucker Punch on Thursday, Party ma ass of on friday and just jam games the rest of the weekend. The weather reports for JHB is not looking good and I hate the cold. So I'll be inside most of the time. Hopefully I can finish some games this weekend, ones that I really need to get done. + Win my Green Jacket. :)

[Chainsaw]

Camping from Thursday to Monday and then house parties till I die or something. This is followed by doing projects and non-school related work from next Thursday to Sunday.

[FreakKing]

Travelling 1790km to visit a really good friend of mine and his family in White River.
I have no idea what they have planned for my visit, but was told to prepare for a great time.
....Sigh. I hate not knowing. :/

[wir]

Might visit friends for 2-3 days, but I'll probably need to spend most of my time working on projects.

[BattleMoose]

Got a 6 day weekend here, from Friday to Wednesday, Wednesday being ANZAC day, Whoot Whoot! Just thought I would share. :P

[Griff3n]

Not one of you mentioned Portal 2.. Shame on all of you.. sies

I will be writing my last test on thursday afternoon then rocking panarottis then friday morn going to Centurion to pick up portal and have a wimpy breakfast for my dads b-day , then basically portal 2 for the entire weekend and soccer on sunday and if I have cap left, I may format my computer. Then coffee with individuals throughout the week all the while sleeping in late [till like 8 i am such a rebel] and going to bed in the morning. GOING TO BE AMAZING!!! especially after a 10 week stretch of Varsity :(

[Wight]

Off to Botswana! 4X4 Trip!

Going to the north near the Caprivi strip, through Chobe and to Vic falls.
It's a birdwatcher's paradise! About time I dusted off my old Twitcher hat!

Its been about a decade since I last went to Botswana! I'm ****ing ecstatic to go through Chobe again! It's one of my favourite places ever! :D

[5h@un13]

my bros comin down from joburg so me, my dad and him all goin camping, dono were thou :/

[gordanfreeman50]

I'm still in school so i get the whole week off next week. Flying down to Cape Town Saturday to see my brother, he is medical student so he only has the weekend off and it make more sense for me to go to him and stay for the rest of the week enjoying his AWESOME varsity internet than having him fly up to Durban and flying back 1 day later. :P
HAPPY PANDA!

[Garson007]

Lots of camping going on. O_o I thought people lost the art of camping a few decades ago. I'm so proud of you guys. ;'D

[Chuluka]

My brothers coming done to visit me in Cape Town. A bit of a weird feeling considering back in January, we were still living together back home with our parents.

[Incognito]

Got this Thursday and next week Tuesday off as well. We're booked to go camping at Libertas Spa Resort. I have no idea where it is but my friend said it's very nice and knows where it is. (I hope)

As for Onona: I'm so jealous!

[Zoop]

Meh, camping at Hartenbos with the parents. Should be fun, unless it rains. I'm not much of a camping person, but as long as it doesn't rain I can handle it.

[vii]

My parents are off to mauritius so I need to house sit for them for the long weekend and I kind of owe them for the last 23 years of sustenance and shelter.
Sucks, because I can't go anywhere. I'd love to go camping for a bit.

[Garson007]

Sucks, because I can't go anywhere.
That's such a lie! You'll be enjoying your time playing games with me over the internets.

[Toxxyc]

Agreed. Going to Weesgerus on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Then my friends who are their with me will be leaving on a hunting trip, and I'm back to PTA for work on Tuesday. Friday I was offered to work at triple pay (nice fat cheque for the day then), but I don't know if I want to, I need the off day. Thursday I want to go see Sucker Punch (whut up!?!?!?), so it's going to turn into a massive party at Hatfield again and I can see that turning into a bad thing.

[Squid]

Heading up to Grahamstown (don't tell Nandrew) to compete in bouldering Nationals, then hoping to spend the rest of the week in Oudtshoorn. Pretty psyched!

[Kensei]

Not much - spent a great deal of money getting to South Africa for my friend's wedding in March (no meet organized because I was literally there for the week :P ) and I plan to spend even more when I order my new cellphone (Samsung Galaxy S2)

Pity because there are two weeks, back to back, with 4 day weekends.

So I will likely take the time to eat chocolate, see friends and family (if they are not going to Italy...again...), study for my course in May, maybe go to the coast and generally just chill :)

[pArkEr]

Studying :( Probability theory is currently the bane of my existence! So envious of you guys with these "jobs" and those "money" thingies... Especially those of whom will be acquiring the mythical Portal 2 and portalling themselves into comas this weekend!

Learn it well now and it will fit into what you do for the next 20 years of your life. Vital part of risk management modelling.

[Acinixys]

Thursday to Monday: Going to Plett.

Tuesday to Sunday: Glorious 30 man LAN. Cant wait.

[Antharias]

Took 3 days leave and my mom is coming up to Joburg to come visit me for easter and the week following. It will be the first time I have seen her in nearly 2 years :D

[cr@zydude]

A blowout for my friend's 21st this weekend, and then I should probably spend the next week studying. I have 3 tests in the first week of May.

Crazy, you may want to restate that another way.

[Toxxyc]

Yeah, he completely blew that one.

Either way, seems to me like I'm going to do absolutely nothing this weekend after all. Man, boring home-alone will be boring.

[brazed]

Don't have much planned, a few things here and there I guess. There's always -something- to do. I'm working in Windhoek next week, so going away now seems meh to me. That, and the fact that this is the only week in April I'll be at home. My flat misses me and I miss my flat

[Yuri]

As little as possible. Very little of my time is ever my own, so to have a few days of absolutely nothing to do is gonna be bliss. My brother will probably be bringing his ps3 over to my place, plus a braai with some friends, and thats about all.

[KaosLord]

Probz chillin wit da frendies yo.
:D
A braai most probably.
Or Buckleys,w/e.

[spjt07]

Probably have a quiet weekend. Going to be working (I think) so it will pretty much be like every other weekend

[cr@zydude]

Crazy, you may want to restate that another way.

Doh! It's fixed now.

[Darranged]

Meh, I'll be working this weekend, but its worth it for the extra overtime cash. The May public holidays are centered around my Birthday however, so I've got time off scheduled for then anyway, most likely to have a decent party with friends and sequester myself in front of my TV to play MK.

[Machine]

Well, since my company has decided to only pay it's staff after the weekend (26 April), I'm broke after buying Portal 2 and so I'll be playing it in co-op with a buddy.

I'll also be catching up on many other games that need my attention like Mass Effect, Uncharted 2, Dead Space 2 and I'll probably be spending most of my time with Minecraft.

[Miz3r]

I shall be venturing of with my girlfriend to George this weekend and camping in some private game reserve, and doing the whole sightseeing touristy thing.
