Is this an oblique way of announcing your forthcoming nuptials, m? Congratulations.
I shall await my invitation.
And why not just get on an aeroplane you unutterable nancy boy?

3 day honeymoon? Tight arse
Wanna look after my kids for any longer than that?
Stupid question - you won't even look after your own.

Might I suggest, psrb, that in the context of a chap's honeymoon, using the phrase 'tight arse' could be considered ambiguous - to say the least?

Had them for 3 days last week whilst glw swanned off to Portugal. Was a doddle

Thanks! We are having it at the country's oldest brewery, with a tour thrown in for all guests.
They are definitely gonna be disappointed with the drinking power of the Jewish contingent :-(

Shepherd Neame, eh? Filthy stuff, but there you are. :-(
Still, I'm sure Sir C and I will find a way to enjoy ourselves.

One assumes there is to be a free bar? I put it to you that we are big enough men to neck some filthy ale if it's on Bignose's tab.

Their Master Brew is pretty rank, but I'm a big fan of Whitstable Bay Blonde and even the Pale Ale isn't too bad. Spitfire perfectly acceptable, too.

You can't call a chap bignose at his wedding! Apart from anything else, if you did, half the congregation would probably think you were referring to them!
That's a point. Is it a church wedding? Or do his lot catch fire if they enter hallowed ground?

I'll drink Spitfire if there's literally nothing else in the ale line, but I wouldn't call it acceptable on any level.

I work in Basel.
Extremely pleasant but extremely expensive.
Stay here...
https://www.lestroisrois.com/en/hotel
Weather in July will be like Dubai. If you fancy it take a swim in the Rhine. Perfectly normally for the locals.
Short train journey to other cities or something like the Black Forest. Maybe a watch tour of one of the big companies.
My mate support Young Boys (lol) and it’s him 25 minutes after work to get to there.
Tried all sorts of flight combinations...BA from Heathrow works best.
Side note...considering FC Basel as my 2nd club. At least they have their own burger at McDonald’s. Not having this Young Boys thing.

A few years ago I got dragged to the BaselWorld watch fair by a massive Asian bloke who ran a sh*tty start-up lifestyle magazine. He said he'd booked us an Airbnb, but when we got there it was a rancid bedsit with only a single sofa bed for us to sleep on, together.
That was a really, really horrible two nights' sleep. No bum stuff, but given the extent of the physical contact between us during the night he may as well have :-(

They do it under a canopy, you know. And then they stamp on their glasses.
Savages, the lot of 'em.

There is a chair also involved, if I remember correctly.

Yes, the bride and groom get lifted high up in the air on chairs while everyone dances around them. What larks.

I heard they do it through a sheet. And then the woman has to shave her head or something.
As you say, savages.

Very vague memories of that wedding, a lot of Columbia's national product was going around and then nearly killed myself driving home as fell asleep and somehow managed not to go under a lorry. Fun times

You went to a Jewish wedding where cocaine was going around? :frown:
Was it Harvey Weinstein's?

Crude petroleum is Columbia's biggest export, psrb.

We almost dropped Ian Harvey I recall (PBUH)

It's an excellent way of saving on the catering. :shrug:
I'm more concerned by the naive African notion of driving back from a wedding while under the influence. I went to my sister's on Saturday and there was no fúcking way I was driving back before at least 24 hours had passed.

I usually stay here when I’m in Basel
https://www.schweizerhof-basel.ch/
Nice option with the main tram and train station outside
And they do take a lot of honeymooners. Been there long enough to know.
I did look at AirBnB option but too many variables to consider.
If you want something more homely then try:
Apartmenthaus Zum Trillen Basel
If I’m spending a long time over I go with this as the hotel scene can get boring.

It's actually quite a good pub quiz question. Idiots answer cocaine and the smarter ones think you're trying to trick them into answering cocaine and usually answer 'coffee'.

I missed that. I must have been being culturally offensive in the smoking area. :-(

Their coffee is good though imo.

It was too early for that. During the three-hour ceremony, if you recall. By the end of that we were all gasping for a drink.

I thought a nuptial mass was bad.

It might have been nearer two, tbf, but we were allowed to nip out for fag-breaks at least.
