Gold

[festa5]

I bought some of those the other day, and haven't had any since I was about 13. They're now absolutely TINY although still delicious.

Yep. My mum still gets them, always snaffle at least a couple when I visit (obviously one is nowhere near enough).

have you considered a 1/4 gold sovereign?

Here you go, and he signed it for you

Doesn't sound like a very healthy relationship, just my opinion though

I would suggest your opinion is very wrong.

Just because I won't buy something I don't like how do you draw that conclusion. If she wanted it that bad she would simply go and buy it with her own money. I bought her an alternative I thought was better.

 

[The_Big_Woodowski]

Errr but surely she liked it, if she wanted it?

Correct but just because she wanted it, doesn't mean I have to waste my money on it

I think I might get an imprint of that on my forehead

This thread is a nailed on future classic in the making, it's mental :

"Do you remember that thread called Platinum, or something like that? The poster was of the opinion that you can only gift things to loved ones that you yourself like".

It definitely has shades of 8 dart finish about it.

Not being funny but you sound like an emotionally abusive husband.

"Can I have a telly for my birthday?"
"No I hate telly have a jukebox instead I love them, you buy your own telly"

Must be a windup anyway, Pandora bracelets are posher than Beaverbrooks any day.

You think buying a present for your wife is wasting your money?

Gosh

Just out of interest, no judgement of course.

Is your good lady allowed to order for herself in a restaurant or do you know what she really wants and therefore order for her?

Why would he waste his money on something he doesn't like, like prawns or salad ?

 

[The_Lizards_Jumpers]

I bought her an alternative I thought was better.

....but she didn't, otherwise she'd have asked for the alternative in the first place, surely ?

Clearly funny is not your thing.

And that is one hell of a leap from won’t buy something I don’t like to being Trevor Jordash

Nope ! But if I perceive it to be cheap, nasty or I don’t like it then I think it’s a waste and won’t buy it. I would rather buy something that I think is better value that I also know she would like

 

[The_Big_Woodowski]

I don’t think that is the case , she loves the bracelet I choose. And she hasn’t bothered buying the tatty Pandora thing to replace it.

So completely ignoring what she likes, because it's what you like that's the most important (as in the case of the Pandora bracelet)? She could hate the Beaverbrooks one, but just have a little more emotional intelligence to not tell you so ?

I'm sure you're a nice bloke, but you're really not doing yourself any favours on this thread trying to justify your stance.
