[#2455347]

Today is my birthday.

I have reached an age when I should know about life, the universe and everything.

I finish my current job tomorrow and don't start my next one until the 21st so that gives me 10 days to have a mid-life crisis.

Any suggestions of what or where to start?

Age : clue is in the question [i]life, the universe and everything[/i]

I guess you have to be a certain age to realise the answer to that question.

Started the Tequilla at breakfast.

I am deadly enough on a bike without an engine.

Holy crap you're old. 😉

You best have an absinthe chaser!!

Why not buck the current trend for mid-life crisis and go straight to old age?

Buy yourself some beige slacks a flat cap and some man-nappies? Then keep on drinking until you **** yourself?

This is my guaranteed mid life crisis guide:

1) Shave your head
2) Join a cult
3) Rebel against the authoritarian leaders
4) Disrupt the status quo
5) lead bedraggled drones out of a world of enforced sexual servitude and into the light
6) Become a folk hero
7) Write a book about it
8) Tell the new employers to stick it
9) Walk the earth liberating the oppressed and fighting for the underdog.

Aaaaand, go!

Get a labret piercing
Buy at least four pairs of expensive sunglasses (that should only really be worn by people under the age of 35)
Slap on a hint of fake tan and a Chris Moyles mask
Take pictures of yourself wearing the sunglasses and mask
Ask strangers to decide which ones suit you best since you've long since lost touch with whats cool and whats not.

Right - before I can start misbehaving properly I have to get rid of the last 11 tickets for the Trout Lights / Team Bullheart raffle.

Please click on the link and buy some now.

Happy birthday.

You have ten days.
Pick somewhere you'd like to go with an airport, this is point A.
Decide how far you can ride in a day.
Multiply that distance by 11 and you have distance x miles.
Find another airport x miles from A, this is point B.
Buy a ticket to B and a ticket back from A.
Somewhere between B and A you'll find yourself.

Or you'll dump the bike, catch a bus and remain forever bitter and twisted about what might have been.

Shouldn't you just take your bike, a bivvy bag and some food, plenty of money and disappear into the wilderness.
You can then re-appear days later hagard and rejuvenated...

Jump on a plane and go for a week.

Or if you want to stay in the UK... Jump in the car and go for a week.

Or if you don't want to go anywhere... Drink a bottle of vodka and bum someone.

HTH

I'm 42. It's awesome.

Get a tattoo.
Find a young lady, 15 years younger should do the trick.
Shave your head.
Have fun and Happy Birthday.
Grow old disgracefully... 😈

Happy birthday mate

• Marry a horse
• Eat a swan
• Start a new religion
• Buy military hardware
• Organise a huge(ly pointless) bike related festival type thang in the North of England.
• Start a coup in a former Soviet Republic
• Convert to Islam
• Convert some angry gay swans to Islam

Not necessarily in that order. Hope that helps

Three grammes of coke and a couple of hookers.

And a sex dwarf. With a gun.

To be honest WCA, from what I've seen of the way you live your life you must be way past the middle of it already.
