It doesn't matter how hard you train, they'll always find something in need of improvement and compalin about it, but hey, that's why we love them, innit?

God, ain't that the truth, whatever you do, don't be too nice to them, especially all the time or you are history. They think they don't like it but in reality they love being slightly on edge, it keeps them interested. Fortunately, most blokes don't have a huge amount of empathy and therefore find it easy to appear distracted sometimes which can be construed as uncaring, especially when they don't think before speaking. A woman's natural insecurity fills in the rest of the gaps.
Yes there are exceptions on both sides and you have to keep it within certain extremes but most women don't want some bloke fawning over them, worrying where they are etc. Get the edge and keep it !

Cheers Sal, took a few of them to get me organised but think I have got a few moves stored up now !

Gold Jewellery reminds me of Mike Reid, Bobby George, Elizabeth Duke, signet rings, mmm lovely

Hence white gold Bagpuss, agreed gold jewellery looks terrible.

Failing that, there is always the Morse code watch (for those who find modern communication devices so limiting...)

I'm at a loss. What can I give her that she hasn't already got? (and that won't clutter up my house too much)

Please no suggestions of cash/vouchers - thats too easy and even I thought of that already.

How about some second hand clothes? Black Dress

Oh hang on, that was today. Here was the result. BBC

Jewellery - every day and twice on Sundays. Couple of hundred notes, white gold not silver, something simple but modern, bracelet, necklace.
Easy to wrap (or they will do it), it's a luxury and can't be construed otherwise, keep the receipt.

Bonhams etc have some antique watch auctions coming up, I could give you some names if you need them.
