    What to get the missus for Christmas?

    I know its a bit early but i think it would be good to have an early brainstorming session on this topic!!

    I'll get the ball rolling - trip to Paris (i've already done this one so it's no good to me!!)

    Your missus, is it?

    How about a new bicycle?
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Bike is a good idea.
    I'm with the missus a half-decade and she spilled the beans recently she was a bit upset at never receiving a bit of jewellery.
    I was going to get Dr. Whatevers brain training but do i have to get a Nintendo DS for that?
    Christmas is always great for me as my girlfriend earns far far more than I.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    Jewellery is like clothes only worse especially when she's fussy, won't help me out and wants it to be a surprise.
    I suppose she's no right to complain afterwards though.

    pourquoi?


    For the non-fussy compassionate girlfriend living anywhere near Cork, try sponsoring a cheetah or other animal at FOTA. If you're really nice to them they might let you rub it.

    Well if she's your misses and you have never given her Jewellery, I'd say you aren't married or engaged to her.

    You've been going out half-decade if you get her a ring she might be disappointed its not an engagement ring and if she's not disappointed and loves it for the month of January and maybe a little after the conversation with may of her mainly female friends will go
    "Oh what did Risterard get you for Christmas?"
    GF: A ring
    "Oh are you engaged Congrats"
    GF: No
    "Oh sorry <pity look>"

    Better just to avoid the hassle unless you are going to propose if so congrats


    Oh and on your adopt an animal - nice for friends and Family wouldn't get it for a girlfriend even though they try and pretend they love it and they aren't materialistic - they still will be a little disappointed

    spend some time measuring her finger................then give her rubber gloves that fit perfectly. Admire your own efforts to get just the right size gloves.

    If that doesn't work, having something like a vase engraved with her name and the date always seems to be appreciated.
