Reply to: Father's Day

You could do what I did & give him the card a week early.

Alternatively you could claim that Father's Day is a relatively recent creation of the card companies, and refuse to participate in such blatant commercialism.

It worked for us.

though we did have to make a united stand in the face of heavy hints.

She does every team apart from Millwall(for some reason!).

That is because there were never any proper Match programmes printed for Millwall matches, as none of their supporters could read.
That said, she could perhaps have utilised the colouring books that they issued instead to try and prevent their fans from invading the pitch prior to kick-off, and eating the grass.

I've got some great Father Days gifts (obviously not share related).

It's annoying. I stock a range of Football Coasters. Met a lady at a craft fair who is 75. She has a collection of 1950's and 1960's football programs. She makes her own coaster sets.

Scans in the images. Changes them in photo shop. Imports Italian wall tiles. Backs them with fine cork. Prints to a special drink proof, heat proof covering and produces the most incredible sets. She does every team apart from Millwall(for some reason!).

£20 a set. Cannot be found on the internet(she doesnt allow advertising)! Pain I can't advertise them!

Greenwich market on a Sunday :-)

But there is obviously a gap in the market for Millwall fans. Perhaps a selection of shirtless fat blokes and badly injured police horses?

The main reason is, these are heavy set 'Football Coasters made from Italian Wall Tiles for just £20!' and so frankly for a Millwall supporter would be considered a dangerous weapon!

[Zippy]

Oh! Are the "Hand Made Football Coasters made from Italian wall tiles" that you sell in your shop priced at £20.
Thats a good price for a set of "Hand Made Football Coasters made from Italian wall tiles" - if only I could find a set of "Hand Made Football Coasters made from Italian wall tiles" for sale.

<can I stop now? It must score a hot on Google now!!!>

It is.

I've sold 200 sets at £20 each through the shop in the last year. Imagine how many I could sell through the internet. Gutting.

Thats a shame - that you can't advertise the "Hand Made Football Coasters made from Italian wall tiles" that you sell in your shop on the internet....
Imagine if you could advertise the "Hand Made Football Coasters made from Italian wall tiles" that you sell in your shop on the internet....
Then if people used the term "Hand Made Football Coasters made from Italian wall tiles" in something like a search engine they might be led to your shop that sells "Hand Made Football Coasters made from Italian wall tiles" and might even be able to buy "Hand Made Football Coasters made from Italian wall tiles" from your shop...... Shame that!

He's in his 90s, ... one thing I know does interest him is his investments.

Is he saving up for his old age?

[Zippy]

Blimey OwlHoot - your old man sounds like he's on the ball. Mine loves golf so could we swap dads?

[DaveB]

No idea if he uses it already or not by the TrustNet site is worth a look if you want to track investments but not go for a full on trading package.

It's got loads of tools for portfolio management, charting, performance tracking etc.

[OwlHoot]

Hmm, not exactly wading through loads of suggestions for an Investment Management Package.

So instead I've decided to get him a tip-top satnav for his car, and UK & Europe road maps to go with it.

(any recommendations?)
