Default girlfriend's birthday approaching

Been thinking about something to do for my girlfriend, especially when she took me to rome for mine

My friend's trying to arrange for his gf to be a keeper at longleat for the day, feeding lions, etc.

I'm thinking, wow, very thoughtful [embarrassed] bu99er [/embarrassed]

Any suggestions for equally creative things?

lol, but the parachuting idea has some merit.

Tiggs, she's already an advanced padi diver, so that idea's out

If she's half-decent looking, get her photo professionally taken - full make-up, hair etc, as though creating a modelling portfolio.

Great idea just one drawback ......... The pics cost an absolute fortune. Mrs had this done as a freebie and I use the time lightly. All well and good till hard sell time comes along. £130 per picture and thats only on disk ......... She haggled them down to £120 for 4 but even so ........**** my old boots im in the wrong job.

Is it just me or this a secret 'How to bump your wife off' thread.

We've had swimming with sharks, parachuting, feeding lions and to round it off placing something in the incorrect passage

lol, talking about trying to bump off my wife is another matter.

I happen to like my girlfriend, so it'll be a nice present

I actually think she might like a tank driving day:

I was going to suggest a driving experiance thing, but I was actually going to suggest a train driving experience. I know it is a bit of a "Bloke" Thing to do, but the sense of power, and the novelty factor, maywell out weigth the Testosterone nature????

Seeing as you are in dorset, you have a steam railway on the north coast that may well do these type of things, can't for the life of me think of the name of it...

I may have some contacts if you're seriously thinking about this

My parents run a Military Vehicle & Spares company.

They know all the people in the business, and I'm sure the Royal Tank Regiment are customers of theirs
