whats a good 30th birthday present for a bloke?

[lyndsey83]

Tony, I'm really not going to give you that rise you seem so desperate to get out of me, because frankly I have better things with to do with my time than arguing with a stranger on the internet who suggested I get my boyfriend a hooker for his birthday. Perhaps unlike you, Im not here for jest,argument,social activity,and vicious banter... I think this website is a useful tool for information and I like to use it so. And thats not a criticism.

Ive been thanking people as I have gone along, yourself included I believe after the suggestion of the Ashes, and considering the comments were still going strong yesterday I dont think it unreasonable that at 10am in the morning I havent posted to thank everyone for their comments. I dont wake up and sign in just to see what witty thesaurus-aided remarks have appeared since i went to bed.

So please, If you want a fight, go and pick on someone else, Im really not interested. But thank you for your Ashes suggestion, it was helpful.

And thanks, of course, to all others who chipped in. Great info, and Im sure will help others also...went for gig tickets in end, which I found after Keef suggested. Off to see the pixies at Brixton:) . Sorry I couldnt say so right away yesterday, I happened..god forbid...to be doing something else.

That was the gentlest of jokes that I've heard endlessly in Offices over the years and no-one had ever taken that, obviously light-hearted comment, seriously let alone responded in the manner about "12-year-old" humour, thats what irritated me, initially. I'm not desperate to get a rise at all.

Then followed the sarcasm about "how naive I am" to expect a sensible response on EDF which is hardly endearing is it, seriously?

of the Ashes,..... dont wake up and sign in just to see what witty thesaurus-aided remarks have appeared since i went to bed.

Thats the whole point lyndesy. After I ignored your barbed comments I did, as you now acknowledge, come up with an idea and, no, you did not acknowledge it in any shape or form at all.

I'll think you will find many people on this Site who do not need the aid of "thesaurus" to enhance their natural wit, incidently.

So please, If you want a fight, go and pick on someone else, Im really not interested.

Neither am I, its just that I thought your earlier comments and attitude were rather supercilious and rude, quite frankly.

Same old sarcastic response.

Funny how you DID find the time to reply now, soon after I wrote the above though, and you not only have replied but made your decision anyway!. So if you hadn't responded to my comments today others would have wasted their time trying to help when it was already a "fait accompli"....:)

Anyway, despite the above I'm glad its all sorted and I hope you both have a great time at the gig which should be really good.(tu)

[lyndsey83]

'awesome idea actually..assuming the tickets havent gone like hotcakes, I'll check it out. Thanks.'

That was what i posted to thank you. Perhaps i did it wrong.

Sorry if i irritated you.

Thanks for your reply.

I had no idea that the comment above referred to my suggestion lyndsey.

Just a misunderstanding.

Have a great time:)-D

[lyndsey83]

No worries, and thanks

Perhaps I will come on here to fight, I feel like Ive been for a run.:)

[daizie]

see admin, i am refraining from commenting, it is killing me tho :))

[Atila Reincarnate]

A post box red, or British Racing Greeen E-type Jag with wire wheels, only if you're disgutingly wealthy though.

[lyndsey83]

I wish....student..:(

[Mick Mac]

If he's an Aussie, get him an ashtray with ashes in it, he'll see the funny side I'm sure, its what they all seem to want. Or a BBQ or a few tinnies of Fosters. A hat with corks hanging from it, a crocodile dundee knife, a tee shirt with no sleeves? Spray on blonde hair, or arrogance tablets? There are loads of things you can get him.

Oh, ok he's got all those already.;-)

[PetuniaButtons]

Hot air balloons?

motorbike rides??

paintballing???

Whatever next.

Mr Buttons is always happy with a nice voucher. You can't beat a voucher.

[Moos]

I do like this thread, it's like a microcosm of human nature.

And may I say that PetuniaButtons is a marvellous user name.

[bigbadwolf]

Yes, I agree Moos. I think the clique is going to get on with Petunia just swell.

Isn't that right gang?

[Moos]

What clique? There's no clique.

*kicks BBW under table*

[bigbadwolf]

Moos, underline Petunia as a possible candidate will you. I'd say we should give her a probationary period of about one week to see if she conforms to our standards, dress code and dislikes everybody the group backstabs.

[????]

I have to say my ideal would be...

"There's ?50, go out on the piss with your mates, don't worry about what time you get back and I'll deal with the kids in the morning"...and I'm not joking

[????]

shit...I was forgetting I#m nearly 50

[bigbadwolf]

So in that case I suppose you'll just have to make do with the ironing eh Quids. Still, you can always treat yourself to half a stout and a re-run of the Sweeney.

[????]

a couple of Bensons too.... if I'm lucky

[PetuniaButtons]

I wouldn't know about that Mrs Woolf. I only popped on here for a minute to rest me eyes from fulltiltpoker.

[bigbadwolf]

Bensons? I can only guess as to what that Cockney ryhmes with.
