A question about Christmas gifts.........
« on: 21 December 2013, 22:19:53 »

A post I made got me thinking....... Why is it OK, even encouraged, for women to buy the man, tools or just about any garage kit, but if a man were to buy the women a iron, or just about any kitchen / household labor saving device, he would be in the dog house, at least?............... ??? ???

Because they are women. Illogical, irrational, irritable and emotional. Just don't do it if you value your nads!!  :o  ::)  ;)

I have actually bought swmbo a coffee machine, she asked for it, among other things, and I have actually bought a food mixer, she hinted at this, however, just in case this will be an additional pressy to her and Miss Vamps for when they make their cakes, which Miss Vamps loves doing - blame Mrs Cakey, she started it at the Lakes meet a couple of years ago...... ;D ;D ;D

A lad at work fell foul of this unwritten rule many years ago ... bought his wife a hoover or sorts!  :o As above he was in the dog house for a long time.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Over the years I have got my daughter to get me a bread maker, food processor and pizza stone as presents, now if I returned the complement, I think it would be fair to say the response would be interesting. ::) ::) ::) ::) :o :o :o :o

By contrast, the witch has bought me.

That's because you are still only giving her the basic 7/6 (that's seven shillings and sixpence for you children ;D) per week you tight sod! :o :o :o

Best to buy your own, I treated myself to a Ryobi 1+ 18v drill last night, on special offer from B&Q, £89 odd, less 5.25% cashback. ;) ;) ;)

PS included the 2 L-ion batteries :y

The Ryobi 1/2" drive impact wrench is well worth considering.

Keep any dangly bits well secured as I have a feeling that otherwise they might be the first into it!
