She said someone at work was doing it and wondered if I was interested.....

I knew I married the right woman.

    I did something similar (albeit arranged by a bunch of amateurs).

    Was a broken man by the end, and veeery thin.

    Some of the dads at the kids' primary school did this last year or the year before. The EPO asked if I wanted to do it. I thought she was after the life insurance.

    What does "EPO" mean.

    I also sense a hambones joke coming along... that, or something along the lines of a broke back in the mountains.

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    A grossly unfair reference to my wife, Entertainment Prevention Officer.

    Hopefully so she can finish decorating the spare room and perhaps get on with painting the external woodwork without me getting in the way.

    Looks amazing. You would definitely want to be doing it with people you know you get on with, however. I'm not sure about "2 star" accommodation either. Aren't most tents 3 star these days?

    I think after days like those, all you're asking for is a) a hot shower/bath and b) a bed.

    You'd be wasting your money if you got anything more.

    Stars are more to do with facilities - pool, sauna, restaurant, gym, etc. - than quality aren't they?
