Expensive WeekendsChthonic says he's still reeling from a trip to a wedding that cost him nearly £600; while a friend of ours hazily presented his credit card to the bar staff in a shady club in the Baltic states. You know how that one ended.

A short one this.I was in Hampshire and needed to be in Birmingham for a convention. Back then a rail ticket was £30ish. "No problem" quoth my brother. "Give us £20 for petrol and I'll run you up, I'm going that way."
Then just north of Milton Keynes the starter motor/alternator/some electrical bollocks(I know fuck all about cars could have been a fucking veeblefetzer for all I know) expired in conclusive fashion leaving us with a broken car, no ready money or breakdown cover.
A couple of frantic phone calls and some friends riding to the rescue got us to a garage and thence back on the road but left me with a £150 bill for the...gizmo and labour.
A few years later I found out that we'd been travelling at 120mph at the time so frankly I'm just glad it was that bit that went sproing and not something a bit more steering/suspension related.

A least the offog didn't come apart under gravitational stress.
