I am a idiot. I cannot read, think or add up...

[Dibble]

Yes, yes, I know.

I take it the room price doesn't include a ticket for BTaP?

So for Mr & Mrs Dibble, it would cost (to start with) 2 x tickets @ £60.00 = £120.00, plus double room @ £115.00, making a total of...

five plus none is five, two plus one is three, one plus one is two, and carry the, er hang on...

£235.00, and that's before I start drinking?

[E36GUY]

Yes you are correct.

bloody rip off if you ask me.

[ciderminx]

I was trying to avoid thinking about the price. Could (will) turn out to be an expensive night, ah well, never mind. I mean whats the point of earning money unless you can spend it on having a good time?
Except the bills you need to pay, car i want to buy, savings that haven't actually been saved yet, there's always next month!

make the missus buy her own ticket, half the hotel room.. then you only pay £117.50


Genius this good is hard to come buy

[Famous Graham]

That's why I like these things going on sale at least a month before.

Come the event itself I'll have had another pay cheque and have forgotten any expenditure from October

[Dibble]

Bugger.

I really, really want to do BTaP this year. I'm off work on the date as well, so no excuses there.

Problem is, we're off to Oz for a few weeks at Christmas and New Year, and that's already cost us over the odds for the flight tickets.

I shall have to have a think... Oh dear!

I don't know about genius being hard to come by, but if I tried that one, I'd be coming by myself in every sense of the term!

Maybe I could bribe her with a little gift...

...any suggestions, Charlie...?!

[anonymous-user]

Actually the way to deal with this is to drink SO much that your bar bill makes your room/ticket bill seem inconsequential

Champagne does it quite nicely

ARE YOU LISTENING ALI KAT - CHAMPAGNE!!!!!!!!

That's pretty much it, but you have + alcohol, + fuel, + her ladyship's Spa treatments.

Good weekend though!

[Fidgits]

yup.

dont forget to add: new tux (£200) (trust me on not wearing the old uni one with a size 30 waist!!!!)
new shirt £30
Proper black tie £15
Dress for the missues £whatever she can get away with

then alcohol, raffle tickets, auction.


If you worry about money, the key is to drink a lot as soon as you can

[escargot]

Budget on atleast £500.

Double that if you get pissed and buy LCD TVs in the charity auction.
