Present Suggestions

11 March 2015, 21:14

Off to the US next month to visit some old friends. My missus has been out buying gifts but has asked me to sort out a present for the husband who is a good bloke. We've exchanged a few gifts over the years, prints, books, silver tankard etc and I haven't got the faintest clue what I can buy. He's very much the outdoors type (hunts, shoots, fishes - we've bought him a hunting cap before now even), has everything, 55 years old. Any ideas?

...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Nice idea but it won't fit in my suitcase.

I'm only able to offer advice on past suggestions I'm afraid.

Zombie killing ammunition, just marketing but probably breaks the ice at parties over the pond

Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

A big bottle of Pentobarbital, I reckon it will be worth a fortune over there.

I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]
