A mate of mine suggested a few months ago a lads holiday to Tenerife for some copious drinking and sleezing. As you can imagine I was well up for that and have been looking forward to it ever since. We had agreed to book the holiday next week, he now tells me he can't afford it as he just bought a new MP3 player!! :mad:
ARGH! I'm going to KILL HIM!
Why is it people let you down so much??????????
This is going to take some serious forgiving........<watch this space>
His outta money because of an mp3 player? Wow he mustve lived just on the edge of poverty.
Get this. He said he bought an MP3 player but didn't realise you needed a PC/Mac to upload the MP3's so has bought a laptop also.....a laptop at almost £1k.
Idiot :rolleyes:
On credit?
He could still just pay a deposit on the holiday then pay the rest in installements! Having said that it sounds like he isn't really commited to going anyway.
Nope, he used the money he'd saved for the holiday.
The thing is, the thought of a proper lads holiday in the summer has kept me going through a boring job and now he's totally destroyed it. He's got a lot of grovelling to do for me to forgive him for this one.....I am getting a wiff off female about this situation though. He's just started dating someone and I have a feeling she didn't like the idea of three blokes let loose on Tenerife in the summer.
Still as yet unconfirmed though
Welcome to my world.
At least someone still loves you:

Well now he's on about a long weekend later in the year. Don't think I'll hold my breath :mad:
A few years back my mate was getting married and we'd planned a stag weekend to Amsterdam. I got my passport renewed and got all excited. About 2 weeks before we were due to go people starting pulling out so that idea got canned and we decided to go to a table dancing club instead. Then, on the night, some of the stags started making worried noises about their wives and in the end we went to Chicago Rock cafe instead.
From leggy, blond, half naked, Dutch girls to pasty, white, gold strapped handbag toting, Southampton girls in 2 easy steps. Talk about anti-climax.
:(
A perfect example of women spoiling a perfectly good weekend away :thumb:
The annoying thing is that a weekend away to somewhere like Amsterdam can easily cost the same as two weeks in Tenerife!!!!
Ok spending money is obviously more for two weeks but I've already said to him I don't mind spending most of the holiday doing nothing, at least I'll BE ON HOLIDAY
I know what you mean. Lying on a beach is free!
Valley, going back your question, "...people let you down..."
Each person decides what is importance them at any point in time.
Mixed in with money burns holes in pockets, short term gain vs long term gain.
What do I want? Will this make me happy? Will this make me happy now?
As you both would have had a great time, and re-living the experience forever, he chose the short term fix.
Choosing some…thing over a person…well, you now know what kind of friend he is.
Find some else to go with, make it happen, have fun anyway..
Whatever his decisions may be he is still a friend. If I just discarded friends just because they let me down sometimes or we disagree I would quickly have few friends.
The end of the day life goes on, and worst come to worst I can always go on my own and just spend two weeks chilling on the beach :D
I know what you mean mate, I've got a lads piss up/holiday booked this summer, cant wait it's what's keeping me going through uni.
Your MCP you must be loaded? ££££ pay for him and have him pay you back Lol.
LOL The MCP doesn't mean too much, only that you can revise for an exam
Besides, the holiday costs around £300 but spending money is at least equal to that and I can barely afford to pay for myself what with house/car/bills etc..
I let my mates down all the time, but I make it up to them... ;)
You sure about that?
