    Birthday present

    Right, it was my dad's birthday yesterday, and I'm seeing him tomorrow. I have two hours to think of something to get him before I go out at lunchtime.

    You lot are clever, original, thoughtful, with a good sense of humour, right? Any suggestions?

      What kind of things does he like?

      Books, magazines, music.

      Does he prefer experiences to 'things'?

          A nice travel shaving kit with silver razor and a nice brush.

              Sorry, naturally, you are all that too.


              Cheap and cheerful is probably better, unless it's a really good idea!

                The Talisker 8 year old would show how much you care or the Ben Wyvis if you are feeling flush. Old Fettercairn and Highland Park do some nice old ones too.

                I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                Smith and Wesson.

                Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                    Good call - was going to suggest a good bottle of whiskey.
