philmayfield 6,115 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I’ve just been to the newsagent’s at Lowdham to pay for my paper delivery and the the owner asked me if I was doing ‘anything exciting’ this weekend. It made me think ‘when was the last time I did anything exciting’? It must have been years ago. I’m now actively looking for excitement. Any suggestions? Obviously ‘womanising’ is out of the question! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,115 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 What's exciting about that? The chap drops the papers in a box in the village and my wife collects our copy and then gossips on her way back home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trogg 2,011 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Try wild camping, take everything you need in a back pack and go up on the Moors for a week. The exciting thing about it is you never know if you will make it back, LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waddo 921 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Why not book your self on a track day, plenty of excitement. Or even more of an adrenalin rush, nip over to Germany and get a few laps in round the Nurburgring!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thanks but I’ve done lots of track days. Until recently I had a Lotus 111S which I bought for my 70th birthday present to myself and I used to go to Cadwell Park. It was getting a little difficult to get in and out of though so it had to go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,115 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 You won’t believe this but for the second time today, this time when I was buying wine from the farm shop, I was once again asked ‘if I was doing anything exciting’. Is this becoming a common form of greeting or do I look like an elderly ‘action man’? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 You're absolutely right, however, about womanising being out of the question. You'd only be compared to Ben and found...wanting 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think the question about "doing anything exciting" is the first choice alternative to making pointless comments about the weather, just for the sake of something to say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,011 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I had an exciting day, the wife told me to take the shopping from the car and take it to the kitchen. I said no. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
