    Wink The B-day(s) campaign commences

    Trying to sell it to the Mrs as something 'we' could enjoy over the May Day holiday Monday weekend - her response is that she can think of nothing worse than being in a field down in England with people like me who are obsessed with air rifles - Operation 'False offer' is successfully complete...

    Operation 'just you go then if it stops you sulking' is underway...

    Is there a cooler there?
    Again dependant on way to get there but I've got a 12v Mini Fridge I could bring, just one of those Koolatron Coca Cola ones though so will hold about 6 330s or 4 larger cans.

    To be fair, I can understand why she doesn't fancy visiting England. The bit about air rifle obsessives is harsh, though

    Get the pressure put on pal. Failing that, bribe her with summat nice
