You're afraid of water and you don't like cake?

Sorry to go against the majority here - but for me it comes down to how much you value a commitment.

I know it's very cliched - but I try to live by the old 'my word is my bond' saying.

You agreed to attend the christening - now you wish to change your mind because something you'd prefer to do has come along. I'm assuming from your post that it isn't family - but that it's a friend; how would you feel if it was the other way round ? If you had an event that for you was big deal & someone had agreed to attend & then backed out for something other than a good reason ?

Bottom line is that it's your decision - but if you do attend the christening, when you return your bike will still be there, the Welsh roads will still be there all you've lost is 1 day riding with workmates.

And they probably only went because they felt obliged, rather than because they wanted to.

No child of mine is going to be christened anyway.

Supervox is quite right, however in this case the trip was planned months ago and I got the weekends mixed up.

Bit of a long story behind this cos originally it was my brothers wedding weekend so the guys kindly held back a day so I could go.

He recently separated so I thought all was well. But then dopey here said yes defo to the christening thinking we'd be back. Doh!

every one knows that the only point of a christening or baptism is to prevent the fat being sucked from a child to make a flying potion for a warlock...


... or am I being far too influenced by 80's movies again!

Say you`re already committed to taking part in a charity rideout and don`t wanna let your friends down nor the charity involved.
