For the 50+ ers

[Dave the OAP]

what did you do for your 50th Birthday

 

[bhaexpress]

I did nothing as a few days before my soon now to be ex decided she wanted a divorce, not a lot to celebrate there. Mind you I did make up for it on my 51st.

what did you do for your 50th Birthday

Had a big party,hired our local pub for the saturday night, was supposed to be a bit of a surprise, but i sorta knew.....was very good though, strated drinking at 7.30pm and finished about 9am :dance:

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I can't remember.

It's odd how age affects the mind.

 

[Brovion]

I had three parties. I had a drunken bash down at Circus Circus for my friends, then the following week I had a extended-family lunch for 30 up at some place in Bramber that I can't remember the name of (senility!), and then on my actual birthday I had a little dinner party for immediate family.


My wife wants to go to Venice for her 50th. I said she can have a party at Circus Circus the same as me!

 

[Goodfella]

My 50th was this year, and i hired our local pub and just got hammered with friends and family really.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Rented a house in the Cotswolds (Chipping Camden) and invited a few friends down for the weekend. Very nice it was too.

 

[sydney]

had a spit roast with some mates..........then went out for dinner.

 

[The Oldman]

Sorry Dave but it was so long ago I forget. Now on my 60th we went for a weekend in Hong Kong. Brilliant.

 

[Blackadder]

That will be 12 months ago on Thursday.

Took wife and 2 sons to Krakow, Poland for 3 nights. Had a great time.

Spent the day after my birthday visiting Auschwitz.

 

[NMH]

I went to a bar a few yards from the beach, in sunny California. Played pool, drank and ate the food I got laid-on for the occasion with loads of friends.

The couple of b'days since then have been pretty anonymous, forgettable occasions though. I take a lot more notice of my Mother's birthday, as she certainly won't be getting many more.

 

[plymouth nige]

Got depressed and then ratarsed!

 

[withdeanwombat]

Started the day with some breathing exercises just to make sure,put on the plate sized 50 today badge,went to Southwell races where Desert Orchid was paraded (he was retired by then),then a takeaway with the Family and a few tipples at home.Other than that,I can't remember.

 

[dougdeep]

Ermmm! What was the question again?

 

[Beach Hut]

Surely another memorable holiday / weekend away thread beckons ?

 

[JSD Albion]

Took the oldest to Lewes to get his A level results. Told him there was no pressure . . .

I thought it is supposed to be a surprise part

 

[Dave the OAP]

I thought it is supposed to be a surprise part

nah

the surprise was my Ben Hogan Irons ..........damn damn damn, I shouldnt know about that!

Bday still a couple of weeks off.

I was hoping for a scalextric and a train set and a meccano and a subbuteo....but I would settle for a Wii and a 32inch plasma

I don't make a fuss of mine but my 50th was on the day we drew with ipswich to stay up.

didn't have a match ticket so watched the game in a packed K&Q along with my lads. Mrs met me after the game and we had a great party time in basketmakers then headed up to do the station pubs and the Albion party made it a great day/night. Really enjoyed it.
