tank holiday

When you have just enough fuel to get to a petrol station but fuel deliveries are impossible due to a corrupt and incompetent government making a right bollocks of the supply chain by limiting the free movement of labour.

As is often seen in post-Brexit Great Britain.

Employee on phone: “Sorry guv, I can’t make it in today, tank holiday, innit?”
Boss: “Not you as well‽ Sigh. Thanks for letting me know.”

Tank top Al

Tank Top Al is a gamer. He will excrete noises such as loud screaming. He is a man among boys, the only true chad you'll ever meet. He wears only a singlet and running shorts and boy does he rock it. His muscles are incomparable. To date a Tank Top Al is to date a hurricane of testosterone. He may be gay but he doesn't care. Speaking from experience.

"Tank Top Al is such a chad."
"I know, right?"
"Mmmm muscles"
