Anyone got any ideas what to get my bloke for our first anniversary? He has i think go me jewlerry and i was hoping to spend about £40

[Yudster]

If he has got you jewellery, you could reciprocate with cuff links - if he uses them of course. If not, most other jewellery on men is naff............you could always spend the £40 on a bottle of something nice? Otherwise - oh clothes are so boring! I sent Mr Yudster to Milan for a Champions League game for our anniversary one year - it hadn't occurred to me at the time that it would mean spending MY anniversary alone! You live and learn.

[Ickle Angel]

No - it would have entailed spending two days in the company of my brother in law, which is not something I will do unless the life of one of my children depends on it.

You live in Brum so you have to great arenas near you (NIA and NEC), any gigs coming he'd like to go see?

[Ickle Angel]

Yeah im going to have a look at that but he lives near bradford so its not easy to book them without telling him

[MK Chris]

Just tell him to keep the date free, then make up a really convincing lie about what you are doing - don't make it sound too exciting though - then he'll believe that that's what you're doing and won't try and guess anything. If it's in London or something, you can say you're taking him for a meal then the London Eye, then all you have to do is make a detour to the venue, giving him much less time to guess what's going on. Ta-dah!

[Yudster]

I bet Mrs Topher smiles a lot.

[Ballbag]

You should tell him that your relationship is built on love and trust and not materialism, and with that in mind you don't think you both have the need to cement your feelings with "things", and thus you don't have to buy anything.

That's what I did to the current Mrs Ballbag, and she seems happy.

[Yudster]

I think you may need to start thinking about the next Mrs Ballbag fairly soon.........

[Ballbag]

I already am Yudyud............ *bfb winks*

[Boboff]

I Think footloose is holding back on his next post don't you ? Wanting to mark the 1000 with something special.

Did I tell you what is annoying me now ? Well when you pay with Chip & Pin they tell you to enter your pin 2 or 3 seconds before you actually can on the terminal, if they just shut up and waited, us people would just do it when we could...... always have hated being told what to do !

Absolutly!

Wouldn't you?



Oh crap.

[Ballbag]

Also why does the screen say "Please hand controller back to the merchant". We're not 19th Century traders.

"here you go Merchant...... three groats and a florin, paid to you in full"

"Thanks peasant, and here's your oats"

[Yudster]

Did they still use groats in the 19th century? Sorry, its my turn to wear the pedantic pants today.

[Ballbag]

I predicted the pedanticness nature of some of the members on here, and researched this. Wikipedia says they were used between 1836–1862.

So yes.......... yes they did.

"go ballbag, go ballbag, go ballbag"

*Bfb does the running man*

[Yudster]

It was a genuine question, I wanted to know! And the pants really don't fit since you had them anyway. A bit stretched.

[MK Chris]

Surely that should be the pedantic nature.

Ahem.

[MK Chris]

I bet Mrs Topher smiles a lot.

'Scuse the double post... I love giving surprises but, Christ, aren't women good at guessing! I have to try so hard to keep stuff secret, you can't even begin to know. Mrs Topher is a specialist at ruining surprises.
