I have a dilemma. Boyo will become 40 in the not too distant future. He’s asked I not do a big thing because not trusting people to turn up. Based upon his 30th this is valid. So WTF do I do? Self fulfilling nothing or attempt a Thing that could end up worse?

Catfish@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Yeah. Nice pub meet ups with random net people became a horror story of avoiding a twat.

Speak to the most reliable friends (the ones that will definitely show up) and maybe oragnise a group pub thing. Send a larger invite so more could show up, but if they don’t at least it’s not that awkward with others around, maybe?
Just spitballing here

Yeah, some of the people he may most want are the least reliable.

Maybe a nice dinner date, just the two of you? A movie and food? A daytrip somewhere?

I went to the Gold Coast for my 40th. Spent my actual 40th birthday at dreamworld. Fed the tigers, rode the rides and had a ball with the family. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I didn’t want a party and the only way to stop my mother from planning one was to go interstate!

I visited the Servals at Werribee for mine. Most wiry fur. Those girls love their cream cheese! 😻

Go away somewhere nice for the weekend.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Yeah this is my advice. Pick somewhere super duper fancy or somewhere hes always wanted to go. And just… chillax. Maybe organize a small pub meal for anyone willing to rock up the week afterwards?

We once stayed in a nice hotel in Geelong, corner suite overlooking the bay. At night the ferris wheel lights go on, ordered room service. It was beautiful.

I mean, skip Geelong, but the rest of it sounds great! Theres a place at Falls Creek that I really wanna stay that has a spa overlooking the mountain slopes and TBH I’ve never wanted to get drunk in a place so bad as that!
