WEEKEND LIES

Weekendvy : What it means: That niggling feeling that everybody else is having a wild weekend of fun and frolics, while your weekend consists of watching X Factor , mowing the lawn or mooching around Mothercare in search of baby bibs.


You’re so ashamed of your boring life that when colleagues ask you what you did over the weekend, you decide to embellish the truth: “Well, Friday night we checked out that new fetish club in town, then on Saturday we helicoptered down to Electric Picnic and hung out backstage with Arcade Fire all day, then we had a nice, romantic dinner at Ashford Castle, and on Sunday we headed down to the K Club just in time to cheer on our good friend Padraig Harrington at the tee-off.”


A recent survey by Travelodge found that 27 per cent of Britons lied to work colleagues about what they did on the weekends, pretending they went out to dinner parties, had romantic meals or took mini-breaks when all they did was clean the house and catch up on their sleep. So next time your workmate boasts about their dirty weekend in Paris or pampering day in Monart, ask to see the receipts. IRISHTIMES
