Aww hun, why didn't you want to be 30? your gorgoues and married, you should be proud!
A weekend away sounds nice but the person I know ;) needs more than just a change of scene, gets bored easily!
thirty was ok, i hated turning 40 but I survived. now im officially old and its ok. Your as young as the man you feel (me and tara both dropped over a decade) lol

gawd, if only i was 29 again. I feel old n creaky at 31. I live in hope that blokes mature a little after 30. Maybe Im Indoors might have a brain transplant on his 30th birthday next yr.....lol
If he likes a change of scene get him a digital photo frame! I've bought a couple for family and friends and they've loved them - particularly if you can get hold of some photos they're in / they like and load them on before you give it to them.
It sounds a bit tack but we have ours on at home all the time, got about 500 photos on a random shuffle and it's great walking in to the room and it reminding you about a great time you had.

No we don't change unless we are hung up on our age. I'm 46 (or is it 47??) and don't care about the age. My kids still think I'm 'cool' enough to go boating, hang with them and their mates etc. Age is an attitude not a number. If he is worried about getting 'old' he might go out and buy a sports car/bike/woman or whatever cliche he fancies, but I think he'll be the same guy at 30 as at 29 :rolleyes:.
As far as a gift for his birthday, anything with big boys toys with engines would be ideal. Men are just big kids anyway :smt045. For my 40th we went and drove tanks for a day, played with guns (de-activated ones :() and had a lot of man fun. I can heartily recommend that. Or how about tank paint-balling (http://www.chaospaintball.co.uk/)?

Didn't we just :D
Digital Photo frame is a great idea
Buy him a weekend in Amsterdam. He won't have much to show at the end of it but at least he'll enjoy himself....and that's what's important.:smt045:albino:
:D
Turning 30....hmmm, that was 7 years ago for me. All i can remember is going out for dinner in the evening. That was about it.
No idea for a pressent. How about a proposal of marrige? That should mature them up a bit :) As for maturing, nope, i'm knocking on the door of 40 and still feel like a 21 year old...but cant find one ;)

Get pregnant.That will make him grow up(or clear off)
A weekend in Amsterdam might make him happy,but be aware he could bring back a souvenir he wasnt bargaining for.

he may never come home to to me though - il be a little less exotic than those in the red light district!!!
Kate Moss
29-05-08, 02:44 PM
Hmmm, getting pregnant would probably be more of a gift for me and a nightmare for him, same goes with the wedding!
I doubt phil will mature any, but hey he is who he is and i fell in love with him!!
How much are cbr's these days??!
Just over 7K i think, but that will make him less mature and grin like an idiot all the time.

Done the sums and you are right. So I'm getting senile, but don't care about my age. :elephant:
I had the pleasure of oganising what was quoted as being "the bestest best cirthday pressie eeeeeevvveeeerrrrr"...
... I hired (OK 'borrowed') the Middle School I worked in at the time for an afternoon, got about 30-odd mates made up as Zombies and had my mate (the birthday boy) and a couple of friends kitted up as squaddies. He was then bundled into the back of a landrover with a sack on his head - driven to the school, guided (still blindfolded) into the crawl tunnels under the school's floor and then let loose.
Squaddies, guns, zombies - with all his fellow squaddies 'dying' at various points along the way it ended up with him being cornered in the Library screaming 'COME OOOOOONNNNN!' whilst being bundled to death.
Even better, after three years - the story of this 'Private Event' has circulated throughout the LRP community to the point that when I last overheard people talking about it there was over 100 zombies and the guy was commanding a whole squad. I created a legend. :twisted:
Best of all we got the whole thing on video - but three years later and I still haven't seen it! :roll:
wont the birthday boy read this thread?
.
Also, do men change after 30, you know, mature a little?!
Nope, not even when they turn 50:D
Sorry:p

you with an sv1000s yea it does :smt045
I worked into my 30th, slept through it and worked out the other side - rostered night shifts!
I had no problem with it. My philosphy: Biology means everyone must grow older but there is nothing to say anyone must grow up! Since I didn't have any control over when I arrived, I feel no pressure to celebrate its anniversary, even the supposed more important major milestone ones. Just celebrate life whenever it takes your fancy.
So, no, he won't suddenly change. If he does, that's when you start worrying!
Buy the man a cake with candles!!!

Dirty buggers the pair of you! :smt045
Get pregnant.That will make him grow up.
Probably a bit drastic that is, besides who wants to wait 9 months for your pressie?

If your lucky, you can find a good condition 07 (model I want) for 5K! Thinks that's probably a little over budget though!

I hit 30 in March, and am still driving my 24y/o Lass to dispair! Whether that's bouncing round Sainsbury's doing the food shopping or getting a strop on when a can't find a bit of minikit on Lego Star Wars II.
I hated the thought of hitting 30, but it's no big deal - got very very drunk! (just ask Jdubya and EoE)
Phil24-7 - milk it for all it's worth mate!!!!

Well, he wouldn't want to damage that nice carpet he spent all that money on!! :lol:
Don't make too big a deal over it being his 30th ... everyone is different, but by highlighting it is his 30th and saying stuff like "So what is it like to be 30?" only starts to sew seeds it is a bad thing ... at the end of the day, he will only be 1 day older than the day before ... not 30 years older!! ;)
As someone else said, never underestimate the power of a bit of nookie on a fella ... make sure you starve him the week before too so he is extra grateful!! ;) (sorry Phil! :lol:) and dress up all s3xy ... you never know as a little treat, you could do that thing you always refuse for him*! ;)
*see you are thanking me now Phil!! :lol:

That is what I meant, just treat it as any other birthday and so what you would normally do .. the fact it is his 30th to my mind is irrelevant*!! :)
*but remember, Phill is a different person to me, he might have a totally different view.

Whoa there! I see the idea's have moved on since I suggested a digital photo frame! I was obviously being far too sensible!:smt024
Although, Ann Summers + Digital photo frame + some 'pics of the day' could be some lasting memories! :mrgreen: :smt113

Ok ... reflecting on the aforementioned error .. I still think I can recover from this .... and recover well ... 8)
Here we go ... ;)
M24_7, bearing in mind this is supposed to be a surprise outfit, Phil himself obviously can't see it before hand ... as highlighted, every individual has certain tastes ... so the only remaining option you have open to you is to ask as many males as possible (i.e. the .org) what they think of each of the outfits and then jot down the results and find out what outfit got the most points ... this averaging process will help you cover all bases of taste to increase confidence that Phil will like it! 8)

He's been to Donnington and Brands Hatch, whats the THINK thing you can do??
phil24_7
30-05-08, 07:32 PM
Just a note, LaSenza and Ann Summers have websites and every one of you has access to the internet, so how about you all log on there and then post your suggestions on this post!!!
Oh, and stop flirting with my soppy girlfriend.
P.S. it's only a birthday, a cuppa and bacon sarny first thing in the morning will suffice!
Age is just a number,it is how you approach it.I am 50,i still have a bike,i still do a lot of running and i do things i want to do,not what people think someone of my age should do.
I want to make it memorable for him! I feel a trip to Ann Summers and Lasenza coming on!!!:-P
A nice vibrating b**t-plug and some man-sized lingerie would go down a treat with him...if he's that way inclined.
