What do I want for my birthday?

    I hate being asked this question. Why? Because I honestly don't know what I want.

    I don't want cash, because it'll just be pissed away in the boozer.

    I don't play computer games, or console games, in fact, I don't own a console, so anything to do with this is a no-go. I play Tetris on my mobile, and I'm happy with this state of affairs.

    I like music, sure, but I couldn't answer a question as to what CD I want bought for me, ditto for books.

    I live a relatively simple life, and I'm happy in it, I don't want, or need, any lavish trappings. I have my 30gb mp3 player, which has about 10gb left of free space. I got that for my last birthday. It doesn't need changing, as I'd still regard that as fairly new. Anyway, I'm far too lazy to transfer all the music, again.

    I don't want my phone upgraded.

    I never give, and would hate to receive vouchers. So impersonal.

    So, great legions of AH, what do I want for my birthday?

    [serious]
    Whenever i'm asked this and they force an answer i just ask them to make a deposit into my savings account for me. Then i'll have it whenever i do need it for something [/serious]

    Sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads... is that too much to ask?

    Clothes Perhaps, i always reply with clothes when asked this question.

    A t-shirt with a funny caption perhaps. Just don't say "Suprise me", last time i did that, i got a Daniel o Donnell Calender. *Shudder*

    Cmon now that's a bit much ! :p

    Well if you have everything why do you insist you need more. Tell them to donate the money to some charity who digs worms out of kids eyes or stops women from getting raped and killed in Africa. Then thank your lucky stars you are such a fortunate bsatard and continue playing tetris and listening to your ipod.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 228 ✭✭ShowUsYourXbox


    A real friend, whome you can ask these sort of questions?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,442 ✭✭✭Firetrap


    Something fun for you and your friends to do together...like an activity break or summat.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,060 ✭✭✭Anto McC


    Is this a dig at me Des, got you a cake and card last time out but obviously thats wasn't enough? We were in Cork for christ sake, i was too drunk to shop, you're just never going to let this go,are you?

    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    Hmnnn I hate that question too. I'm pretty easy going so I don't mind what I get as long as it's not something obviously craptacular. I'm hitting the BIG 30 though this year and I would like something good!!!!


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 16,186 ✭✭✭✭Maple


    whats with disliking vouchers? I love them. Best present ever. Means you get something you really really want instead of having to be polite about the total crappy gift you've just been given. Vouchers are the way forward.

    But back to the original question, how about a day's rally driving in Mondello Park? Class day out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    6 pack of Tayto and a Fanta orange.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 418 ✭✭Alanthroneus


    How About a brimful of asha on the 45?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    A couple of good books maybe ?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    A gram of the finest white stuff* you can find and spread it on your favorite hooker





    *can be canderel or whatever floats your boat hehe

    Maybe a holiday or a weekend away with your friends or "that special someone":D Haven't read the whole thread so sorry if you've answered it but, what's the budget? Comedy show, concert...? Skydiving? Didn't think vouchers were that impersonal...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,957 ✭✭✭trout


    Lately I've been yearnin' for an electrified foolin' machine.

    Maybe you'd like one of those ?

    How about something you'd never do for yourself, like an indian head massage or a pedicure or something ... or is that too metro :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    What are you implying ?:D

    That you have aids, I thought it was quite clear :confused:

    Depending on budget, how about a voucher for a flying lesson. I got one for my birthday last week and can't wait to use it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭Oral Slang


    A one for all voucher - I know you said you dont like them, but these are valid for so many places, they're really handy.

    A voucher for 4x4 racing, archery, shooting etc. I bought my b/f a voucher for the 3 of these for his birthday & he had a ball..

    Put money on a paypal account for you. My dad did this last year for me & it was so handy, bought a load of crap on ebay.

    A voucher for reflexology, hot rock massage (best ever) etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,148 ✭✭✭Ronan|Raven


    The Longford away Jersey will look fantastic on you Seansouth :) I will have it shipped up.

    Because it's just like getting money, only you have to spend it in a particular shop.

    I think the idea of an activity day (or whatever you call it when it's an activity for grown-ups) with your friends is the best idea. Paintballing or summat.
