Is her mate female?
Yes she is. And even if they were up for it, theres always the danger that she'll want big Winston to join us on her 40th to get her own back ! |

Some of the other suggestions
Kindle - maybe but I do quite like the smell & feel of old books from the library (and until you can get e-books free from the library I'm too tight to buy them just to read them once)
Camera - maybe but I would use it for a few months, then put it away somewhere and get it out once a year at Christmas and go back to using my phone the rest of the time
iPad - would probably use it too much, and spend just as much time keeping the kids from wrecking it
Pipe & slippers - fully expecting lots of really hilarious old peoples presents, Grumpy Old Man references etc. Cant wait.
ST & Shirt - I think this has come up before, but I think grown men wearing football shirts to matches looks a bit sad, will probably get a ST for me & the kids next year anyway, when we're out of that shitty division
Holiday - going to Aus later in the year, maybe a contribution towards something special there could be good - helicopter over the Barrier Reef, skydive, something like that.
Why the fuck cant she just surprise me ? I've only known her 20 years, is it too much to ask that she knows what I like ?

40 is no age really, so doesn't deserve anything special. 50 of course is half a century, so worthy of note, and 60 is a bus pass  |

When I was 50, my then missus, got us a session of white water rafting on the Wye. Problem was that we were in a drought  .... |

Well even if I haven't got any new ideas, at least compared to you lot I dont feel as old as I did ! Think 40 is a funny age, you're not old enough to really feel old and accept that you're old, but you are old enough that you cant do everything you used to be able to. Feeling grumpy again now.....  |

To be fair, you have known yourself for twice as long, and you don't have any fucking idea what you want, so what chance does your missus have. |

Get her to pay for you to learn to Scuba Dive - opens up a whole new world and a right laugh - and would be brilliant in Aus |
