    A number of our younger members have posted recently about either getting engaged, or, in a fit of utter madness, actually going through with the engagement and tying the knot via marriage. Ultimately they are faced with the question that we all have to deal with from time to time: what to get the missus for her birthday or anniversary. This is a delicate question, one fraught with peril and anxiety. However, desist from your worries my young padawan learners for I have found what you seek: The Ultimate Gift[^]! No, that's alright, don't bother thanking me. I'm a modest man, merely trying to make your life a little easier.

        Yep, that should end the curse! (And the marriage) However, I guess it is not much worse than some of my "all time best" presents for the missus: 1) A box of chocolate willies. 2) A model aircraft kit (Spitfire, glue not included) 3) A pair of pink childrens wellingtons, with a bar of chocolate in them ("Chocolate Wellies") 4) A "singing lobster" that she had to keep in the fridge for two weeks before she opened it (Box aprox 18" x 6" x 12") 5) A jumper, hardened by immersion in melted chocolate ("Chocolate Woolies") 6) A clue as to where the clue to the clue, to the clue (you get the idea) to where her present actually was. Some of these didn't get thrown at me! She is still here (and currently swearing at the crappy software produced by some "professional" web designers. Very loudly) so I think she must have liked them really.:~

          And such a reasonable price too! Rest assured, I shall be availing myself of this wonderful offer, as soon as hell freezes over.

              I'm certain that while I'd be laughing my tuckus off, my wife would have considered the ultimate way of getting back at me. Using the gift and then spilling the contents of said gift over my head would be just the start of what I'm sure will be a long, cruel, unusual and tormenting punishment.
