What can I get for Mr P's birthday?

My son has bought his Dad the latest Status Quo album for Xmas and says it's excellent and I have bought him the new Annie Lennox album. Do you think your DH would like either of these?

Thanks all, I think I will end up asking him, and I know that he'll say he doesn't want anything!

Nfk gin is the one thing that he really can't stand! He enjoys a vodka and tonic, or white rum, Bacardi type stuff.

If he likes a tipple that tastes good with lemons, may I suggest Adnams gin? Their First Rate (48%) is smooth and lovely. Copper House (40%) is quite nice too. Not that I have that much experience of tipples you understand, but I've just been bought some for my birthday.

Has he had the Made in Heaven cd of Queen. I had never heard of it but got it last year as a big fan and it is lovely. Take a look on Amazon and read some reviews.

I also bought my son a Freddie Mercury, Queen signed mounted photo display . . . featuring a printed autograph. I bought this one and David Bowie and they are fantastic, again from Amazon. It is currently out of stock but you could keep an eye on stock for other occasions as it really is great and I will buy myself one when stocks are back in.

Whatever you decide, I hope your husband has a wonderful birthday, whatever his age. X

DH's birthday is in early January so it's difficult to know what to get him as by that time everyone is sick to death punch drunk where presents are concerned.

DD1 has the right idea though. She buys him tickets to a concert at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge for a date in the Spring when it's so much nicer to go out. I'm on a winner because I get to go as his carer

Interesting. What happens when he reaches pension age?
The DWP will be glad to save a year's pension.

I agree with Starling and maybe ask him if he wants the latest Queen Forever. Better to give him something that he wants than waste money.

Ask him what he wants?

How about a fire extinguisher ?

Hip Flask
Crystal spirit glass
Vintage port

But...didn't Mr P know what year he was born? I don't understand at all. Why would you have to ask his mother?

Anyway....no idea about a present. Men can be so difficult!

Phoenix you may be able to settle his DOB once and for all on this search page. www.freebmd.org.uk/search

You could be one up on the rest of the family (and know whether it is time to buy him a 60 Watt lightbulb)

Yes a weekend or overnight away is always good.then you get to share the present as well

Oh Ana , typical Phoenix complications!

We had the chance to go on holiday, all paid for my my (then) boss. Himself's passport was out of date. sent it off with a rather moth eaten birth certificate, which was rejected. Time running out, tried to get another birth cert. All seemingly relevant register offices drew a blank.Mr P's mother was alive at the time, although not always totally on the ball! Phone call ensued:
Me: Hello Rose, when you registered Mr P's birth, did he have another name, or a middle name?
Her: No, just
Me: What was his date of birth?
Her: 17th November

Now, I was particularly pleased at this stage as I felt that I had caught her on a good day!
Me;OK, so what year?
Her: Oh, now you're asking!

The new birth cert was sent straight to the passport office, and luckily we were able to go on holiday, but there is still much discussion within the family as to whether he was born in 1954 or 1955

You mean he can't remember what year he was born and has no documentation to prove his date of birth?
