It’s my 40th on the 18th of this month, and the lovely Mrs PP told me last night that ‘We’re going away this weekend’

To where I do not know, and I only have a few details to go on…

I don’t need a passport
She booked it in April
It only happens once a year
It’s ‘North’ but proabably not as far as Scotland
My packing list includes camping gear, and outdoor clothes and footwear, but no bike.

Suggestions on a postcard please…..!

up the arse

Gret minds! I was going to say “up the Kyber Pass”

epping forest “in touch with nature” under-canvas doggathon starts friday night

Oh balls. I left myself wide open (fnarr-fnarr) to the abuse didn’t I?

Bathtubbing?

you’re told old for her now, so gonna be abandoned like a unwanted puppy in the middle of nowhere.

Run now whilst you can.

Beer festival?

Bet it’s a Hotel somewhere in the south, and these are things to put you off the scent

Uplink, that’s a very good suggestion, to be fair!

Follow the link. lookssnice. 🙂

I vaguely remember the chair thing…. What was that again? Recap?

Can someone elaborate on the “chair in the woods”? Or was it lost with the forum hack?

i think it went along the lines of man spends lots of money on a great “day out” gift for his misses and in return when its his birthday (expecting great days biking gift or somthing) he gets the gift of learning how to make a chair out of wood in the woods as taught by some hippy

Dez, I looked at the link but it doesn’t seem to explain it too well….

Some dood whose day job was forrestry or something, was asking for advice about how to gently turn down the offer from his missis to take him on some hippy ‘make a chair out of sticks’ weekend for his birthday, as it was a bit like a busman’s holiday for his liking.
