Urgent Appeal

[Keefy]

My eldest brother is soon to celebrate his 50th birthday and I've no idea what to get him.

Ideas please!

Visit to a Brothel :tounge_smile:

What's your budget? A bottle of whisky from his year of birth would cost a bomb but be a very special gift. A pack of adult nappies are a lot cheaper and maybe more useful...

Take him clay pigeon shooting and a meal after

Thanks for the replies. He's a tough cookie to please.

Have any of you had to buy a gift for a 50th before, what did you get... that was genuinely appreciated?

Lets face it, christmas, valetines and birthdays we buy each other rubbish, clutter junk piled high on top of the wardrobe.

Money and a hand shake.

Buy him something useful you might need to borrow.

A Thai bride?

I`m told the silence when up in a glider is very impressive. Sisters sprang an hour lesson on me up in a twin seater single prop for my 50th, had the controls for 90% of the hour even banked it round lined up the runway and was getting pretty damm close to the tarmac when the pilot took over.

A ride in a Spitfire, at Duxford. That should please him.

A Thai bride?

A thai bride with that unexpected extra?

our gsr inspector recommends a Filipino bride, I think Russian ones have more appeal
