[Closed] What do I want for my birthday present?
I have no f***** idea and the wife is asking what I want.
Don't want/need anything for the bikes. Or hiking/camping kit.
If I was still in the middle of building a house then a nail gun or chisel set would be on the list, but not any more. What with all the building work I haven't really considered a treat for me for over a year.
Inspire me. What's on your wish list? Let me pinch your imagination, mine's gone to sleep.
Xbox?
Blu-ray player?
Kindle?
Mad rampant sex, like crazed weasels?
Depends on budget obviously
Nice beanie
Man bag
Samsung Galaxy Tab
Night out with just the Mrs in a s****y hotel
Surfing lessons
I have just asked for an extension cable as a Christmas present.

Hold on.
Don't want/need anything for the bikes.
How is that possible? Obvious troll.
(-:
I have a wee bit of cash lying around from my birthday the other week.
It is going towards a ski-touring setup.
But part of me really, really wants a Nespresso machine...
Hot Air Balloon ride over your newly built home.
A Cylon Toaster. Thats what I really really want.
Treat yourselves to a holiday 2gether
A Cylon Toaster. Thats what I really really want.
"To Cylons!" *chink*
HTH.
some pigs/sheep for your paddock then freezer?
marzipan
a telescope
some very fine single malt
An oz of high grade marijuana?
Xbox? Not really a gamer, but have a PC for Counter Strike etc
Blu-ray player? Have only got a crappy little 19" TV. Dont watch films.
Kindle? Have an android tablet for reading
Mad rampant sex, like crazed weasels? WTF, Im married! ๐
Nice beanie. Got one.
Man bag. Got one.
Samsung Galaxy Tab, Got similar.
Night out with just the Mrs in a s****y hotel. Involves tedious grandparent oriented childcare issues....
Surfing lessons. Its f******* freezing.
Nespresso machine. Prefer french press.
Hot Air Balloon ride over your newly built home. Has potential.
A Cylon Toaster. Have Dualit.
ome pigs/sheep for your paddock then freezer. Definitely would but spend too long away on the continent to deal with husbandry issues
marzipan. eh?
a telescope. She got me one of those two birthdays ago. I havent really used it ๐ณ
some very fine single malt. Not for me, but a port or three might be a nice one.
An oz of high grade marijuana? When the shed's finished and I have somewhere I can hide with it ๐
Blu-ray player? Have only got a crappy little 19" TV
A new TV?
TV doesnt mean enough to me.
A time machine to go back to the 1950's and make a couple of long-term investments - 1957 Gibson Les Paul, Volkswagen Splitty, etc bring them back and make an absolute killing.
Aye, but does your Dualit made toast tell you to "Frak Off" ?? I think not....
I asked the same a week or so ago - best suggestion was a skills day I reckoned.
jimster - Id just take a substantial amount of firepower, persuasively acquire a shed load of gold, bury it as treasure trove, then come back to the future and "find it".
VW camper people, always thinking small scale eh? ๐
clubber - that's coz you dont have the same high level of skillz as me. innit.
Surfing lessons. Its f******* freezing.

He's not stupid is our Stoner...
How about...
A guided tour of the Historical East End of London, in That London's famous London? Free, as well. Just remember to bring your spensive cameras and iPhones and laptops and watches and stuff with you... ๐
Hot Air Ballon trip sounds wicked, but maybe not this time of year cos it's proper bastard cold.
something for yer new bike shed? I dunno. Workstand? Vice? Little beer fridge? Wireless music system thingy?
Embrace double edge shaving and get a new razor, blade sampler pack, brush and soap/cream plus an after shave balm.
I know you're a left brain type, but maybe some original art for the home office?
aha. Thanks you lot, youve done your job and inspired me.
I had a very frustrating time of it trying to self launch my Flexifoil 6 in high winds on a Norfolk beach this weekend. Managed to birdsnest my brand new flying lines that replaced a set that broke after a tangle last time out.
So I shall ask for a [url= http://extremekiteshop.com/kites/power-kite-lessons-c-155.html?osCsid=bbf9cc08dcf86a8c8f01c975e4ce077f ]trainer day[/url] to learn how to self-launch properly and new set of lines here very close to me:

Oh that's naughty. ๐ณ
Eccles miner's lamp
My mrs has asked the same thing so i asked for a night ride with her, then home, shower and a night in the pub then a day away riding for both of us and the kids with the baby sitter for the duration.
Mmm, kites.
New RC car, that's what I want. Or a quadcopter.
Kite looks quite a laugh, though.
I was thinking about asking for a little indoor RC helicopter for flying around the barn.
Might still treat myself...
I would recommend the following:

who just asked for you to get an extension cable?
No, just me. Lack if time to do anything and lack of funds (or lack of enthusiasm to spend what funds I have) means I am asking for it as a present - I may as well ask for something I need rather than something that I don't.
