Things to do in these dark winter evenings?

Bingo ?

Dogging?

Do you have any interests in common? If it's something more social you both want to be doing then maybe a new hobby, that holds meetings etc. My best friend has a social life that revolves around rowing for example?

That said, A night time country drive.. I'm sure you'll both find SOME WAY of passing the time if the views aren't up to much ?

You should count yoruself lucky.. My ex used to suggest things liek going to the GYM together .. euh!

xx

Look you fcukers ?

How about a class in ceramics ??

? at Chook.

I can't think of anything, erm swimming?

Luckily I'm banned from the gym for cancelling my membership without giving 6 months notice ?

Oh god, please don't let it be the Thames Valley Jaguar Enthusiasts Club meet night tonight or I will get dragged to that and have to make polite conversation with men with big taches all night ? I'm not really a hobbies kinda girl. Argh, winter is crap!

?

Visit friends/family? Mmmm I dunno

Bingo and Dogging it is then! ? let us know how you got on ?

Is not late night shopping open for Christmas yet?

What about buying him a puppy?

This might be a stupid suggestion but how about finding a pub/coffee shop that has board games and going and playing chess/backgammon? Or even finding a cheesy video games arcade? Do those still exist?

Dance lessons?

Late gallery opening?

Jaguar club ??

those winter nights you speak of must just race by ?

Ooh go you Mildred! Swit swoo! Aah glad to be of assistance ?

I'd be up for a class of some kind, but I don't think Mr G would - his work is very brain-intensive and he's usually all zombie-fied by the time I get back, so he needs something that doesn't involve thought or learning. He looooves board games, that's a good idea Sophie - except the house is full of them as he collects them (argh!) so it would be a bit daft to go out to do that. Comedy club is a good idea, I'll look into that thanks Mildred. Oh feck it, shall we just go to the ruddy pub ?

Shup Nick, I knooooooooooooow ?

Pub sounds like the best idea

what about a drive to spot xmas lights ???

Ooh I loooove puz quizzes too! No, I live in Reading but go to Brighton a lot to see friends and to basically shop til I drop, I can't get enough of it. I can happily spend 7 hours at a time pootling around the shops

Me too - we must find one in Reading where we can just randomly bump into each other and drink lots of wine ?

I am vvvv thick by the way, so the Flump & Sparkley team won't win ?

But, but, but the tag ?

Ooh, any excuse for a glass of wine Sparkley! ??

Pub quiz is a fab idea. Or a pub that has pool or darts?

Oooooh, or ice-skating? Or find a nice winter Christmas fair with rides and gingerbread and mulled wine and stuff. The Hyde park one is starting soon, and could be worth a trek to Londres.

Waaaaaaaaaaah! ? Spit & sawdust pub ?

Waaah, are you a closet dart player Soapy? ?

I am sooo doing a Christmas market when they start, but I have a feeling I may struggle to drag Mr G along with me ?

Ice skating gives me hurty ankles ?

? No, but MrG might be.

Do you have an Xscape or similar near you? We've done some snowboarding lessons and now go lots to brush up for a snowboarding trip to Canada in the New Year. It's open til 11pm-ish.

We go out to a delic/cafe/coffee place near us a lot and read magazines and talk rubbish to each other. I know you could eat/drink/talk at home but it's nice to be in a buzzy atmosphere and not our house - and there's no dirty dishes to clean.

I can also highly recommend redecorating your entire house for something to keep you busy. Don't think it'll help with the boredom though...

its not a special needs trip ?

on the other hand...[rotfl[

Waaaaahhhh! They can play I Spy.

And flump can lick the windows of the jag ?

?? Perhaps dogging is the best plan after all.
