    So far I've got my dad nothing - apparently he's on holiday in Hong Kong and/or Bali and as he didn't bother to tell me (I heard from an offhand comment my sister made) I'm in no rush to get him a present, as presumably he'll still be away for my 21st birthday next Saturday.

    Handed them over this morning and he gave me a dodgy look and said "its not my birthday you know"

    Looks like i could have save a couple of quid :(

    I'm going to try and put an end to cards in my family, partly due to the fact they are pointless yet £1.99 and partly due to the fact that I hate the cheesy bile that gets printed on the inside of the card.

    "To dad, you are, and always will be a wonderfull father"

    Fuck off

    Harsh on who?

    I've always been encouraged to buy a good present and not just some £2 soaps and a few bottles of deodrant, but the stuff you see printed on the inside of cards makes me cringe no end and puts me off buying almost all of them.

    Also I'm not one to uphold "tradition" just for the sake of tradition.

    I like to get my mam one with a nice soppy verse in it just because I know how much she hates them. :laugh:

    My dad wouldn't get the joke though so I let my sister get his.

    My dads in Majorca so unfortunately he misses out :p

    I hate buying cards though, I only ever buy my mam them cos she gets dead upset if I don't bother and have to make a real effort in going for a nice verse etc, but never buy a card for anyone else ever

    I dont have to worry about Fathers day. I havent seen mine for years and years and I never have for my stepdad. I think he'd be freaked if I turned up with a card! :p Or think I was after some money or something lol

    TEXTBOOK!

    this comes out every valentines/easter/xmas/mothers day - it's all been invented by the card companies yada yada yada

    you bunch of cynical miserable little shits - nevermind the tenners here and there, the lifts home, the roof over your head, the turning a blind eye to stuff HE KNOWS you all get up to :lol:


    2 pairs of trainers and 4 new tops - BONUS :up:
