    So i will be 40 this year, ahh well i'm still a handsome B*****d. :D

    Thing is i am informed by others in same situation (40 this year) as my good self (2 Brothers in Law and my best mate) that we are going on a weekend away in July, (Wives have already agreed to this :D) only 40 year olds from this year need apply.

    And yes there will be alcohol involved. ;)


    So where to go?

    I'll be joining this exclusive club before the end of 2012 myself mate ....

    and like you, there's a couple of the lads in my own group who are also turning 40, so we're also of a mind to sort something out (although there's a bit more of a limit on the spend now, than there was a few years ago, when I was talking about doing 3 weeks in New Zealand or something :D)


    Having done the Oktoberfest a few years back, I can strongly recommend that trip.

    We wen't there the year before last, for a weekend ...

    It was OK, but a bit disappointing - I'd head for Liverpool, Edinburgh, London, Manchester quicker to be honest with you mate.

    Also, with the currency change and good old Ryanair, it might be cheaper to go to a Eurozone location, if you can bag a few cheap flights.....

    Not at all, I'd be interested in seeing other places your considering mate, given we've something similar to sort for ourselves ....

    If dosh wasn't a consideration, a few weeks in Poland would be just the job needless to say but we'll have to skip that plan I'm afraid :D

    Thanks Lads,

    Barca is a great city alright, I've been lucky enough to get there a few times over the years - sometimes for the match, sometimes just for the booze and scenerary. Defo would consider it again alright - good call mate.

    Babbs, thanks for that link, there's nothing advertised on it right now - the travel agent must be updating the page, but I'll keep an eye on it.

    Well, if and when that time comes mate.... I certainly won't be seeking any pleasure from the check up ;)
