    Here is a great birthday idea for your mate.

    Snorkelling with sharks at SEA LIFE aquarium.

    Costs only £125.

    I like the personalised ale idea. I think he's done too many track days already, although it might be a nice trip down memory lane. His Mrs is already sorting a party etc and there are plenty of regular meet ups for beer/curry throughout the year.

    Still leaning towards R2D2 or Helicopter lesson.
    I got given glamping vouchers for my 40th and had a fine old time. Mind you I do like camping, but this is substantually less hardcore that real camping.

    Had a lot of fun doing this recently which is where they hosted the Olympics rafting. It's under budget so you you still have £100 to do something else as well:


    Lee Valley White Water Centre - white water rafting, canoeing and kayaking at the host venue to London 2012 canoe slalom event

The 'experience day' voucher his family got him for his 40th never got used. I shall watch this thread with interest...
    Lady Marmalade's parties have a lot going for them, in central london.

    I got a Lego Mindstorms for my birthday. It's bloody awesome fun programming the thing to do some wacky stuff.
