    Birthday ideas!?

    It's on a Saturday this year, so I'm just thinking of something to do, - was originally thinking of just going out somewhere in London for the day, then meal and Comedy Store in the evening, but I've just been looking at AirKix - has anyone been??

    Looks great fun, but expensive for the amount of flight time?

    This looks good fun also! Anyone recommend it??

    Any other good ideas for something different to do welcome!

    My B'day is also on a Saturday this year although all those ideas above sound far too strenuous

    Nope I think what I'll do this year is get my pipe and slippers and sit down with a fire extinguisher for all the birthday candles on my cake.

    Wouldn't want to do anything on my birthday that might result in it being my last

    Good point, I didnt consider how exhausting it might be... - I've done a normal sky dive before, - that was quite tranquil

    Beowulf - I do like a little excitement now and again, but not at the expense of chilling out.. - another possibility i'm thinking of which might be more up your street; hire out a nice little cottage somewhere for the weekend, hot tub and all that caper... - some good deals at the moment, as business is quiet so i'm led to believe.

    That's more like it. Although I now have images of Del Boy, Rodders and Granddad going down to Boycey's weekend cottage for a spot of salmon fishing. Beware the escaped lunatic! Game of pool anyone?

    Classic! Love Fools & Horses

    I notice that you have the same birth-day as me gamebird Have we got the same birth-year though?? As that would mean we're astrologically very similar! I was born on a very snowy Good Friday apparently...

    I'm trying to get my head around the idea of people checking to see on which day their birthday will fall.

    (I know, I know; what can I say? I live a disorganised life...)

    Show of hands, please: who has already done this for their next birthday but one?

    Nope, only this one and only 'cos it's not far away. I do have a friend at work who, when she gets her new diary at the beginning of the year, always checks which day her birthday falls on!

    Show of hands? ok !

    oh but I've done worse than that !! VERY Occasionally my birthday coincides with Easter Day.. I actually wrote a computer program to find out when ,what I like to refer to as, "Double Chocolate Days" occur*

    Now that's sad

    (*BTW.. the few I've had so far are 1971,1982,1993 & 2004 .. but I've had my lot for a while as the next dates are not until 2066,2077 and 2088 )

    So what date is yours? - I like the idea of having a 'double chocolate days' - though I think mine's a bit early for Easter most years.

    Must remember to go to hotel chocolat and order myself an amazing easter egg

    How about a Saturday night Kitsch cabaret at Madame JoJo's followed by dancing at the same venue
