One of most appreciated things I got for husband was a really nice map of London for wall with cycling routes all marked on. It was from notonthehighstreet. They do all different colours/sizes and framed or unframed. Went down really well and is always a talking point when people come over. Good luck!

I read the end-of-year music round ups and take a punt on a CD (which I'm pleased to say I get right more often than not), same with DVDs, I read SFX and get something interesting that we've missed, or an old Dr Who which has been re-released.


Or a book. He always wants books.

Pebbles, that's a clever idea. Mr Smiler recently agreed to have two gigantic, ugly green old chairs from his father, installed when I was away (we don't have the space and anyway the are horrible), father in law said "glad you could have them, couldn't have sold them, they're a fire hazard!" grrr. I guess could re-upholster them with football shirts, but doubt being emblazened with "rooney" could improve these chairs!
Husband usually gets a really nice bottle from the Whisky Exchange that will see him through the year when he fancies drinking something a bit special. It is becoming an annual thing so the surprise isn't there but he gets really excited about seeing which one I've chosen as they have some really quirky finds. Doesn't help that his birthday is a week before Xmas so get really stuck for presents!

Some time would be a wicked present (probably for either partner). A promise of some time to do what I wanted without inturruption, and a promise that I wouldn't then suffer for it after!!!

How do you retweet on the forum?!


THIS. A thousand times this. The Lions tour DVD is very good I've heard (in case 'er indoors is watching).

    • Brilliant watching the skateboarding competition briefly just now, in the sun.  Loads of people out and a feel good atmosphere.  Sadly I am too old to bounce around on concrete.
    • "Levels of racist attitudes have declined in recent decades, although structural disadvantages persist and hate incidents continue. Studies published in 2014 and 2015 suggested racist attitudes were on the rise in the UK, with more than one third of those polled perceiving they were racially prejudiced." This no doubt doesn't mean that all are racist, but it is still a sizeable number. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_Kingdom  
    • It's what they need to charge given high rents, staff wages and other costs. I strongly doubt they'll be making much profit even charging £30 for a rotisserie chicken.... in 2025. Rotisserie Jules used to charge £14 ish I think before covid, the sector is in a lot of trouble these days. Lots of places will end up closing as the economics don't work. 
    • Hi Malcolm, thanks for the recommendation. Would you say Jovaner is someone who usually works from drawings and architects specifications or can he do some of the design work himself? Scale-wise, would you say he is well-suited to room refurb or also to do full builds from scratch? Sorry for the specific questions but that would help me assess what sort of work I could use him on! Many thanks.
