Should I stay or should I go?

Dilemma

The ETA of my Chili red cooper s is on August 1. The exact time of departure of my holiday is August 2. So instead of motoring in my so long awaited MCS, I am in Greece riding a twelve year old rented stinking honda off-the-road (if I'm lucky, might as well end up at the back of a donkey)

Moreover, for 2 1/2 weeks I would also have to pretend to my girlfriend that I'm having a good time and that I'd wish this holiday would never end

My brother already offered to take "the honeurs" for me and give the MCS a good run in. He is such a noble and altruistic guy

Anyway, can I have some advice as, in theory, I can still cancel my holiday. Might cause a bit of a fight between the girl and me which would probably end up with (the threat) of her going alone to Greece (not exactly the place where you want your girlfriend to be on a summer holiday, IYKWIM ).

I would just go on your holiday. Your car will be waiting for you when you get back.

Looks like this is THE time to change the colour back to DS again. It will end up in a fight anyway !

You have inside information, but that's not a bad idea at all OnlyS4me. You are a very evil man and I like it

It all depends however who is the strongest and there I don't stand a chance. Women power I guess

Right for saying that I think you should go on holiday as punishment

I know one person who agrees with you

Well alright then, but two days in Greece is enough, it isn't that special

OK, here's an alternative then, cancel the holiday, dump your girlfriend "temporarily". Once you've got over your initial MCS obsession, go crawling back to her.

Remember it's only a suggestion and in now way use this as evidence to persuade her to come back if you should take this route

Things are looking bad for Annemarie (yeah thats the name of the wicked lady).

I realy feel sorry for her, but she can't argue that I didn't put this question for a objective forum of a random group of people from different countries, before making this decision.

Oh there she comes, better go now, she doesn't even know I'm on this forum (if she knew she probably would seriously advice me to get some proffesional help )

Ok, let's put it this way: Annemarie gets her Greek holiday, along with you; as a favour you'll be able to choose your own colour option.

Fair enough for her
