Mr Tourette Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 She had her friend round for coffee at the weekend ( while I was pottering about in the background) and they were babbling about how difficult it is to know what to buy for everyone. They were saying men were especially difficult. I said I can’t believe that as most men couldn’t give a flying f**k what they get, if anything. They then both said “I know, but thats what makes it so difficult” Eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 On hints I have become terrified of accidentally doing this. I've had a few christmases and birthdays where in April or something I'll have said "I have a somewhat positive opinion about swans", instantly forgotten about it and then come Christmas day I'll open a parcel that's 3 books about swans and a jumper with swans on it and a CD of calls of the world's swans plus a sponsored swan in a swan sancuary in Azerbaijan. Sure there is a poster on here that has had this problem with penguins or something dont recall who though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 She took a cake through on a plate to sit and watch something on the TV. I went through to find her sitting with the plate on the sofa, whilst sitting eating the cake over the carpet, dropping crumbs everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 What Mixu says happened to me with Star Wars in recent years. Show a tiny bit of interest in a film, end up with star wars socks, keyrings, BBQ tongs and aprons among other nonsense 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded the Crash Bandicoot remake series for a bit of nostalgia, about two weeks later she handed me a multipack of Crash Bandicoot socks (which would fit a kangaroo btw) and matching boxer shorts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend really wanted to play it, told her it was a lot harder that the N.Sane Trilogy. She laughed. She died 50 times on level 3 and proclaimed it was a “stupid fucking game.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 On 01/12/2020 at 08:58, Elric said: My solution is £100 next voucher, Litre of Bacardi and a book or dvd. That would suit me tbh. Especially if you changed the Bacardi to Stolichnaya. I'm not too bothered about the Next voucher, so you can get yourself something with the £100. When it comes to Christmas though, Mrs Shotgun and I are at the point of life where we already have more stuff than we need. Buying something in the hopes the other will like it usually ends with it just sitting unused. Instead, our conversation is along the lines of "Would you like to see what you bought me for Christmas?" This year she bought me a new (to me) camera tripod off eBay. Should be here on Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoseMarooniho Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Testify! I spent years calmly arguing against her mad ideas, being called negative and miserable etc. The situation always resolved itself when someone else would make the same points as me. Suddenly it all made sense. End of mad idea. Now I just miss out the calm arguing phase and let some random in the queue at Morrisons do the work for me.Fkn this.Getting new kitchen blinds:Me - what about the orange ones?Her - nahLater:Her Da - that orange is niceHer - think we’ll get the orange ones 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
