As you all know I am 50 in October and thinking of doing something!
Any suggestions?
Clive is off with Steve ‘Carpy’ Kilby to Turkey in Sept for a week’s golf bender!
Too much for me, thinking more along the lines of 2-3 nights August bank hols etc. Vets rugby tour with golf replacing the rugby!!
Even settle for watching a sporting event somewhere with a couple nights thrown in for local merriment!
Is Llanberis off? I know few other lads eg Dave C****r keen to do something (must keep him away from a stage and strippers)
Jez, as a pro any ideas!!

We could just do you a cake with 50 candles on it. That would be cheaper. I can get anne to bake it if you like as long as everybody chipped in for the ingredients. That will be 3 pence each please.

It will cost at least a tenner for all the wax that’s a lot of candles

Can’t we just have one symbolic candle….probably get away with a smaller cake then
Is Anne looking for a wage out of this….?
Jeremy, can we put the VAT thro’ your business..
I need to know the bottom line, if we are having a cake syndicate, otherwise I’m out.

The best thing I can suggest is that we give her a budget and ask her what she can come up with.
I’m sure Mark wouldn’t want us to go over the top with this one.
Can I suggest 50 pence total.
I’m happy to find an underwriter for it. That’s 5 pence each for everyone on this cc list except of course for Mark. It is unreasonable to expect him to chip in for his own birthday cake, especially when you consider he is probably going to be buying the beer.

4 pence we are in a recession no more no less
A cost cutting idea is instead of chocolate you can use cat food it’s the same colour but costs less from Poundstretcher also it could give a nice sardine or pilchard twist to the taste (Don’t knock it until you have tried it).
And instead of candles empty loo roll tubes with gold fish stapled to the top for the flame effect.

Who said anything about chocolate?
Either we get 3 others in on the syndicate to lower it to 4 pence or we ask anne if she can get the kids at the nursery school she is teaching at to help out. They can do the loo roll bits
Either works for me.

I don’t recall Clarkey being appointed chief negotiator but like his blue sky thinking
Is there a techie solution to this…what about a virtual cake
Saves messing about with cat food and contravening employment reg’s on the use of child labour

Ok ok
We will have to ditch the filling then. Mark can bring his own jam (though I prefer a creamy filling myself Mark if you can stretch to it)
Actually I think ajax should be paying for the cake as well as the beer
I never thought he would be this tight about it.

We could send him one on Facebook – though he would need to get himself a Facebook account
Trouble is we would need to say we were friends of his to do it!
