My 30th is coming up and I want to do something memorable with a whole bunch of mates. Karting seems like the obvious solution, what with it being reasonably cheap, but I do that all the time. I'd like to do something different, vehicle oriented or not, but affordable for everyone. Throw me some ideas guys!

Paintballing is a good excuse to hurt your mates - though as birthday boy you'll probably do a run across no mans land.

Airsofting is an alternative if you're a delicate flower. There are a lot of people that take it very seriously though so it depends where you go. First time I went I told a couple of guys to ps off because they kept telling me what to do.

A mate of mine did paintballing for a birthday and the operators kindly singled him out for a pummelling. The balls got behind his mask and shredded his face as well as coating his body with bruising as he was hit about five hundred times.

What larks.

Football Zorbing!!

Went in Benidorm for a mates stag recently. Granted we'd been drinking for a good 4-5 hours prior and it was 35-40*C, but I've literally never laughed so much my entire life. Everyone said it was the (most memorable) highlight of the trip. Very inexpensive to do and guaranteed a laugh.

If your anything like my lot, no-one even cared about the football it was just a game of running as fast as you could into someone with their back turned, double bonus if they'd taken there zorb off for a breather biglaughbiglaugh

If you want something less violent, foot golf is a good crack aswell. Mix up the first shots, bicycles, left foot, back heel, volley, loser buys the round etc to make it a bit more interesting.

Granted, finish the day off with a decent steak and a night out.

Go to Prague, drink beer all day and visit gents establishments at night.

Go to a gun range to fire AK47s and Desert Eagles the next day with a hangover.

More memorable than karting.

Wake up enjoy the feeling of being pain free and young and still have the endless possibilities that your age allows you.
Then get pissed and do stupid stuff.
