    It's a PITA, isn't it? You have to be imaginative for Xmas presents, and then again a week later ... :sigh:

        Train them early, forget for the first 5 years in a row and they start doing all the work for you. I have not bought a present (nor received one) in decades, she buys the presents for the kids and threatens me with the job if I dare complain. We are however going out to a restaurant of her choice tonight though, at her prompting.

              I'm with you on this. She just buys her own present. I'm fed up with the number of times presents bought in the past seem to have disappeared on day 3.

                Piece this one together for no idea on how to plan. Her Mother is the 21-12 and her Dad is 27-12 so they go and put her right in the middle. Bloody Wogs can't do basic maths.

                  There are actually way worse solutions than that one :) Programmers imagine the most ridiculous ways to enter a phone number into a form — Quartz[^]

                  I was going to suggest this[^], but then I realised I was doing it wrong and corrected to this[^] If you recognise this number, you're probably as old as me. :-(

                    I'm glad you don't just do the "Here's your Christmas AND Birthday present!" like I used to get. :laugh: On the plus side, everyone has a good time on my birthday, New Years Eve.

                      Hmm. No, I'm serious: hmm. Have the user hum, sample the microphone sound input, divvy the frequency range from 80 to 3,400 Hz into 1010-1 intervals, and voila! Easy-peasy. Best of all, this approach doesn't use any screen real estate.
