Truffle Unregistered T	In under 3 months I will be turning 30. I have no real plans for the day other than to enjoy quantities of alcohol with various reprobates that i've met over the past few years of my life. However I keep getting told that i must "do something big" and i'm guessing these people arent referring to Mrs Stan. So i'm interested, what have other people done for their 30th Birthday?

I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Ok, maybe not £30k as that will exclude some How about drop the k, and make it nearer £30?! Currently tracking Renault 182

MickyRoche Unregistered M	Great thread, just getting to terms with turning 30 at the end of March, and that was gladly helped by the missus booking me a surprise trip to Amsterdam. Oh and the fact I have booked a 4dayer to Ibiza for me and friends who all turned 30 this year.... None of us have ever been so it is probably the last year we can do it in style and get away with it!
