18 months ago I dove headlong into my forties....
...Mrs Shmoo decided that I had to have a big bash to celebrate the fact I was officially an old git.

Food and booze cost about £300
Karaoke system hire £90

Aftermath, which only became evident the next morning....
Carpet replacement for puke and fag burns £276
New TV to replace my 40" LCD £465
Three new doors to kitchen units £81
New glass for back door £37
Replacing Master Shmoo's fish which mysteriously died £23
Cleaning services from local 'Bright n Clean' maid service £40

Roughly £1,300 for a party I vaguely remember the first hour of.

You need to invest
in a better grade of friends. If a massive piss-up happened at my place I would be fucking steamed.

Promise..
That you'll get a cheap pub function room, or rugby club house for the next one?
Are your mates all teenagers though?

I'm glad my sacrifice is appreciated.
By which I mean that I imagined the idea of a kidney that was literally 'on its way out', and it made me sick up a little bit in my mouth.

If my "friends" treated my house like that
I would drag them out into my honda accord and drive them into the countryside and leave them there.

If my "friends" treated my house like that
I'd say "good on yer, not bad for 2 old gits, one with heart failure and the other with advanced arthritis".

We insult each other for fun: one can't punch, one daren't punch, and they can both run away quicker than I can.

My 40th 3 years ago...
... I considered doing the same.

But thought 'fuck it' and hired a restaurant (the Armless Dragon in Cardiff). For a little over £750, 25 friends and family ate, drank and generally made merry, and someone else cleaned up afterwards.

And when some of us went to the pub afterwards, nobody let me buy my own beer. Top notch fun.
