Feb 29th - An Extra Day

Featured Replies

Today only happens every 4 years, and really should be a public holiday around the world, as it is an 'extra' day.

So what are you doing with your bonus day? Me I'm just gonna laze around the pool and then go out on the lash tonight. It's a free day, you shouldn't be working or anything daft like that.

Anyone have a birthday today? Would be a bummer if you did, but then again if it were my birthday today I would be 9, so its not all bad.

I've just thrown my Thai calendar in the bin as I just noticed it only had 28 days this month! Haha

(that means it really is a bonus day, it's not even on the calendar).

Sorry for the random post but I am a bit bored - nothing planned as I didn't know today was happening! :o

I too nearly threw two calendars away because they showed today as the 29th Feb. :D

I'd completely forgotten it's a leap year. :o

Mad cows disease is slowly taking over :D

Well, um, those of us who have jobs generally look at the calendar a little ahead and have noticed that today exists- and that we have to work on it. No biggie, actually.

why is it so different ? it's been like that for centuries.....nothing new or special .

Just take this day as an opportunity to make a bit more money

In some countries, 29 February is a special day as it's the one day a lady is allowed to propose to her boyfriend. I wonder if any Thai ladies know this.

You can always nick out and see if some youngie pops the question ( before midnight )

Retirement visas and work don't mix very well in Thailand.

Sometimes I forget what month it is :o
