Party suggestions

robindch

Brothers. Last Friday morning at the crack of ten or half past, my phone started beeping messages at me as I was lying in bed trying to let my Guinness and abrakebabra-fired hangover evaporate. At the third or fourth message a while later, I cussed and flapped around with my hand on the floor, found the infernal thing and what did I discover, but that I wasn't being let sleep through my 40th birthday!

So, after a few phonecalls, it looks like there'll be a party this weekend to commemorate me arriving at 40 without serious injury, and the much more welcome arrival of some comely extensions to my waistline and the continuing progress of my hairline towards the back of my head.

What suggestions do brothers have for this event? Cheap beer, cheap wine and cheap wimmin will all be there, or I'll rent them for the evening, but I'm trying to think up of something unusual.

Any suggestions?

You could do karoke, or have a beach party, or a costume party, or a themed party, you could have a ceilli, or drag ball, or a viacrs and tarts, or twister, or poker,

oooooh the possibilities

1. Go to favourite pub
2. Prop yourself up against the bar
3. Commence drinking until you fall down

EDIT: Welcome the the 40s Brother robin, I recently hit that landmark myself. It's pretty OK so far.

The wether's been pretty good the last week so you could consider a BBQ with tons of half cooked flesh.

Having recently arrived there myself I agree with the above

Decisions, decisions - eh Brother Robin?

Some good suggestions there, brothers, but I'm not sold on karaoke. My expansive chest and pendulous stomach lends a warm and warbly depth to my singing, but I'd hesitate to call it enjoyable, especially for anybody within earshot. Though my bathtub and the bog seem to put up with their diets of football and rugby chants well enough. But I think I'd be singing to an empty room in under a minute anyway. And then the neighbours would call the police or stuff a turd through my letterbox again. And as I read through more of pretty-in-pink's later suggestions, I can't help but wonder if PIP's in the wrong forum. I mean, a fancy-dress party? FFS, I'm 40, not 13. And a beach party in the middle of the burbs? How the fkcu am I going to get 200 tons of sand delivered before Saturday evening?

Finding a comfy bar-stool and a slab of meat is beginning to look like a good bet.

A party is a party brother, you could do a proper drinking party-

Start on one end othe bar, mae your way as close to the other end as possoble.

What kind of 13 year olds play dress up? I'd have dress up parties. They rock
