    Not so strange really. Neither me or the missus ever remembers our wedding
    anniversary until the day and then only if we happen to look at a calender
    and see the date.

    It stops *any* kind of barney starting about who forgot what and when
    though.

    I'm sorry, that is just *odd*.
    This, OTOH I can relate to. I take R's word on it.

    What, the date, or nearly forgetting?
    Extra brownie points if you get it right though.

    I do that. It's not that I forget the date of my own birthday, it's just
    a failure to realise that it's that date when it rolls around. I simply
    don't place any importance on the event. Of course, the mrs usually
    spoils such ignorance by whipping out a card.

    If the chance had come up six hours ago, I would've. But now it's
    hometime so I CBA.

    Not everyone views the event as significant. We only got married for a
    house.

    Well, my two occasions were somewhat unusual. One I now recall
    clearly - I was at the Bol D'Or, and it was Saturday night, and all
    sort of mayhem and stuff had ensued. I suddenly exclaimed "Hey, it's
    my birthday!", looked at my watch, realised it was a couple of hours
    past midnight, and then said "well, it *was* my birthday".

    I got married the day after my birthday. The ex-(bitch) chose the date
    in the hope that I wouldn't forget - little did she know that I don't
    usually celebrate my own birthday and frequently go through the whole
    day without realising what the date is.

    In the 5 years we were married I never once remembered our anniversary
    or her birthday, but never forgot to get my daughter a card when it was
    hers... now that really pissed her off.

    You're just not doing it right. Let *her* do all the work while you lay back
    and think of England, or summat.

  20. I'm not having a problem. Cheaper last minutes holidays are every where.

    We've just picked up one in the Red Sea half price all inclusive.

    Short time period 3-4-5 days holidays could be a problem.

    20 night ones are silly cheap.

    20 nights Sharm / Naama Bay, AI 4* £595, with 4 days notice was
    available last week.

    Doesn't fit your bill but if you don't mind the Caribbean go via Florida
    and get an American priced cheapy.

    May be go via Brussels or Paris on Eurostar and avoid air the tax etc to
    get out of the country.

    Every passenger flying from a UK airport is taxed at £10 for domestic or
    EU destinations and £40 for long haul economy flights. For travel in
    upper classes, the charges are doubled.


    Fly via Germany and buy air fares at low low prices. (Condor)

    I sorted out a flight back from Marsa Alam in March for a friend via
    Munich:
    Condor £72 to Munich, Berlin Air £15 to the UK
    First Choice(?) £285
