          Dunno - I tend to have a better imagination than her, and mostly get her things she really likes but wouldn't have thought of. Flying lessons for example.

                It worked! But I gave her three presents that year: First was a stuffed fluffy toy Penguin. This confused her. Then an Airfix model of a spitfire. This really puzzled her, especially when I told her it wasn't for her - it was for the penguin. Then the flying lessons. Her father was in the RAF in WW2, but wasn't allowed to fly because of his eyesight being too poor - such people were known as a Penguins. And what happens if you give a Penguin a plane? He can fly. And so did she... She still has the penguin, now called "Leslie" after her father Leslie John, on her computer desk.

                                    Happy Birthday, OG. Bit of a mini birthday season in my tribe. Me last Wednesday, Daughter-in-law yesterday, Son-in-law tomorrow. When I can make it to the shop, I get to mirror the 2TB drive in my home server. Cheers, Peter

                                    Happy birthday for last Wednesday - you should have told us. I would have emailed you a cake... :-D

                                    If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

                                      It worked! But I gave her three presents that year: First was a stuffed fluffy toy Penguin. This confused her. Then an Airfix model of a spitfire. This really puzzled her, especially when I told her it wasn't for her - it was for the penguin. Then the flying lessons. Her father was in the RAF in WW2, but wasn't allowed to fly because of his eyesight being too poor - such people were known as a Penguins. And what happens if you give a Penguin a plane? He can fly. And so did she... She still has the penguin, now called "Leslie" after her father Leslie John, on her computer desk.

                                        *cough* Happy Birthday to me! *sneeze* Happy Birthday dear OrrrrrrrriginalGrrrrrrriff! *blows nose that appears to be trying the marathon* Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeee! *urg - where's the paracetamol?* Still, I got a big box of chocolates and a second monitor (which I opened at the beginning of the month on Herself's insistence). I like this new system of "pick your own present" - I get things I like instead of cr@p...
