    I got one for the GF and she says it's great. The romance might be over but that doesn't mean you can't have smooth feet.

    Father's day...hmmm....I don't know....

    Sometimes I wish I could buy my oulfella whiskey on such occassions. When I ask him what he wants its always some sort of marital aid he asks me to sniff after he uses it....I REALLY need to get a place of my own! :(

    Thanks, you just made me feel alot better about myself.

    Whatever I get my father in the petrol station in the morning will have to be better than that.

    Not really, I bought it after considering what my dad would like and his endless hints about it. He's working tomorrow so I gave it to him now, he's thrilled.

    So basically I love my dad and you don't love yours so gtfo

    :confused:

    Those €20 scratch cards - are they actual scratch cards or are they those lotto tickets that they sell a couple of times per year (they only sell something like 300,000 tickets so you have a much better chance of winning, hence the higher cost of the lotto ticket)?

    Yes sorry I thought they meant the millionaire lotto thing, that's what I'll get him :) Draw is Aug 26th. Not sure if there's such thing as an actual €20 scratchcard!

    The sentiment expressed on this thread is why I went out and bought myself an iPhone last week.

    Dads aren't interested in anything...
    Dads are very hard to buy for...
    Blah blah blah...

    Me bollix, yis are just too lazy to put any thought into it. :mad:

    Way to make a chap feel guilty for not wanting to enter a sex shop for his dad's gift!

    I guess I'll be hitting Ann Summers in the morning incognito
