I offered my wife £50 to do a strip
I even said she could keep her pants on but she told me to fuck off.

I have made no plan so far other than not to do what was done for the last few because I would like to do something a bit different to dress up stupidly and go paintballing/gokarting/brewery tour. I am also not going to do any of those stupid Stag weeks that seem so popular.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking get out of the county so its an all new night out find a good gig and stay overnight maybe with some sort of "activity" thrown in

they are not very bright. our childhood one saw something shiny at the bottom of my mother's thermos and squeezed itself inside. fortunately the coffee had all been drunk, but the drops at the bottom stained its head brown until its next moult.

at which point it stuck its head in some kind of cream and promptly dyed itself yellow.
