idle be as idle do

We just received an email from Jennifer Claire the chieftess of the Southside Idlers Guild with the following news.

"The southside branch of the Scottish Idlers Guild will be meeting at the Granary in Shawlands on 06/09/07 at 7:30pm.

The main branch will be meeting up at The Lab in Springfield Court on 27/10/07. All welcome to both gatherings.

Am I alone in wanting to spend my days lazing drinking, reading, making things and laughing rather than dreary old work? Has anyone else read How To Be Idle or How To Be Free, by Tom Hodgkinson? Would you like to put some of the ideas into practice?Interested in meeting up with a view to ridding our lives of nasty, dreaded, pointless work? Then let's get together and share ideas, scheme, plan and plot a way to get off the work-mortgage-death cycle.Visionary timewasters welcome. All Hail Robin Cooper! The rest of you trot back to your workstations-the boss is calling. In other words if the height of your ambition is to spend a few hours in the pub on the time you have off from work, this group isn't for you. Membership is free but a small donation towards the meet up fees would be welcome."

So all idle souls drag yourselves out the house and join a fellow group of people happy doing nothing.
