So Xmas coming up and the missus doesn't want anything, so we were going to settle for no gifts. We just buy what we need during the year. She now tells me she has bought something for me. I'm tapped, completely out of ideas. I know if I don't get something I'll never hear the end of it.
Get her a new bike in your size.

Did she allude to the amount spent? Get her a voucher for a massage, then when she goes for said massage, you go for a ride. Everybody wins!

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.

Get her a playstation.

Thought I nailed it buying my ex a playstation 4 for her birthday, “I can finally play the new starwars game! She’ll never use this”, NOPE! She actually loved it and took it in the separation.







I never got to finish starwars.

I'm so conflicted, that's both tragic and hilarious.

I await it to be translated into Italian and turned into an opera. An opera for the modern age at least!

I got this same comment the other day. We rarely do Christmas or birthday gifts. Then she 'finds' something for me. So I spent a few days thinking of things I could get her. Then got told that she'd bought herself a present because I wasn't going to do it.
Not sure if this is a win, loss, or draw....
I've used that one up already. Her birthday is just after Xmas so she bought herself a handbag......

She hates the gift pack things that are so popular, has pretty much everything. I could get something and say its from the kids, might make up for the lameness haha.

I bought her a Giant years ago, used it twice haha.

The massage voucher could be a winner. Last one I bought, the place closed down so she never got to use it.

My missus forgot my birthday this year - that’s some useful credit points for me to cash in for a short while :)

Look for places out of town, like a Tassie or Bright experience or place to go to. Bonus as now you take the kids to grandparents and pack the bike/s for your romantic weekend away, and she gets to enjoy the day at a spa or something like that.

We also usually do no Christmas, got the outlaws final hurrah before moving to QLD so now roped into buying vouchers. You can carry a handful of vouchers as opposed to thousands of dollars of maybe useless stuff.

I have offered to buy my wife a new bike for the last 2 Xmas's and b-days. Her response is, always, "I already have 2 bike that I like. I don't need another one:. Usually followed up by "and why do you need so many?" or " you just buy yourself another one with out saying anything." I think I will buy her toaster and just put my helmet on before I give it to her.

You're in trouble. No matter what you do...good luck.

In NSW, it is not illegal to return carp alive, but usually when I catch them they have a small arrow sized hole in the side of them!
I then return them to the earth, buried under my vegie patch
You go spear fishing for carp? I thought it was illegal to return them, had that ever been the case?

Get her a playstation.

I think we need to crowd fund you a PS4 and this star wars game.

I'm ready to invest! Who is going to play @Ultra Lord?

A girl once liked me for a very long time. Across all the years she never remembered my birthday. I nailed hers every year, without fail. Eventually, once...she remembered my birthday. Then it as over. Also apparently I ruined her last birthday we were together by not wanting to eat take away in our room at the old Claire hotel but rather in one of the restaurants downstairs. I'm such a douche...

I was curious as well about that. Always though it was.

But the NSW fisheries site has no mention of legalities around putting a carp you caught back in alive.

The Vic fisheries site says "you must not return carp to the water alive." it must be dead and cut in such a way that it sinks to the bottom...

Not an offence in NSW to return them back to the water but they recommend that people utilise them rather than bring them back.
