One of most appreciated things I got for husband was a really nice map of London for wall with cycling routes all marked on. It was from notonthehighstreet. They do all different colours/sizes and framed or unframed. Went down really well and is always a talking point when people come over. Good luck!

I read the end-of-year music round ups and take a punt on a CD (which I'm pleased to say I get right more often than not), same with DVDs, I read SFX and get something interesting that we've missed, or an old Dr Who which has been re-released.


Or a book. He always wants books.

Pebbles, that's a clever idea. Mr Smiler recently agreed to have two gigantic, ugly green old chairs from his father, installed when I was away (we don't have the space and anyway the are horrible), father in law said "glad you could have them, couldn't have sold them, they're a fire hazard!" grrr. I guess could re-upholster them with football shirts, but doubt being emblazened with "rooney" could improve these chairs!
Husband usually gets a really nice bottle from the Whisky Exchange that will see him through the year when he fancies drinking something a bit special. It is becoming an annual thing so the surprise isn't there but he gets really excited about seeing which one I've chosen as they have some really quirky finds. Doesn't help that his birthday is a week before Xmas so get really stuck for presents!

Some time would be a wicked present (probably for either partner). A promise of some time to do what I wanted without inturruption, and a promise that I wouldn't then suffer for it after!!!

How do you retweet on the forum?!


THIS. A thousand times this. The Lions tour DVD is very good I've heard (in case 'er indoors is watching).

    • I thought Johnson had dropped into deserved oblivion (if that is even an expression). But then I don't read the Mail. And though I hate to be fair in this instance, the people who voted for him couldn't have foreseen his total incompetence, laziness, stupidity and lack of decision at the outset of and during the epidemic. "Charisma" and surface personality characteristics go a long way in politics. Look at Farage. And look at Starmer. Compare and contrast. Same in the past. But also - what were Johnson's colleagues doing during this time? Did nobody point out the obvious to him, that this was a serious and time critical situation and he should be carrying out the leadership role he was supposed to have? Or did they, and he just ignored them? I can't remember.

    • They also described him as 'racist' https://www.scribd.com/doc/169454715/Nigel-Farage-1981-school-letter One of his teachers was reported as describing his "publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views". This was in 1981, and in writing - it cannot possibly be said to have been someone trying to undermine him in a future role as a politician (unless they had a time machine or some sort of clairvoyance). I think it is fairly clear that he displayed racist behaviour as a young man of 17 / 18.  Whilst he is now more careful / guarded in his language, I suspect not much has changed based on his preoccupations and rhetoric.
