It's me birthday on Saturday so here's a little guessing game to indulge in as a break from sitting glaring at your partner. Eldest daughter and bloke came today to a family ' do ' here and they went leaving me a box, all wrapped in birthday paper. It can't be opened 'til the day. So far, so good. This is certainly the biggest pressie I've ever had. The box is rectangular, 30" X 26" with a depth, front to back of 16". I haven't weighed it but it's a little too heavy for me to lift. I haven't a clue meself. So, any ideas, rude or not ! I'm elderly, Anglo Sax middle class, hetero. I don't take size 30 steel capped boots so that's out. Any guesses ? Answer on Saturday. Virtual kiss from SWM for nearest.....two for runner up. Ted Reply to this message | Report message

Rattolo had his Panda cubed to save on dimensional costs and posted it to you to see what you can do about the o/s door mirror? Daughter and bloke found it on the doorstep and slid it in? Last edited by: Armel Coussine on Wed 26 Dec 12 at 23:23 Reply to this message | Report message

Now that, Z, is what I could do with........it would probably fit the Patriot being built at Llangollen and might even earn me a ride on the first train. Ted Reply to this message | Report message

Don't want any more DIY stuff, got most things now and it's largely a thing of the past now. A lot less work to go to the hole in the wall and hand a good honest workman some cash. The teddies look good but I'm not sure if they do my size ! Son in law thought it my be a memorial stone for when I need it. Ted Reply to this message | Report message

It's a safe, for you to keep your wealth in until it's time for you to pass it on to your daughter. Stage 2, perhaps next birthday, will be lots of lovely unhealthy food. Reply to this message | Report message

>> A new diff for the Jowett? Nice thought, Tubby. Actually the box is big enough for a complete flat four engine......but not heavy enough.

Well, just been allowed to open the box and my guess was right...It's a new computer chair. Not very exciting but my left bummle will certainly be pleased 'cos the padding on the old one's seat had gone hard plus the recline facility was knacked. It turned out to be a joint pressie from all the family. I spent an anxious couple of days before my guess hoping against hope that they hadn't got me a pressure washer to replace the one I've just chucked. Tool of the devil IMO. Also got a number of good beers and, eat your heart out dog poo retrieval enthusiasts, a woolly peaked hat with folding earmuffs and LED lights built in to the edge of the peak ! So, no correct guesses but I'll give the kiss to Z for an imaginative punt......also, a buffer could always be stood on end and double as a stool/coffee table......pucker up babe ! A nice day, somewhat clouded by a phone call this morning to say my last remaining ' previous generation ' relative had died. Me ole mam's brother, Walter , 96, had been alone for a couple of days in the house, made his dinner, sat down and ate half of it before dying in his chair. We made the trip to Cwmbran to see him in November and tale him for a pub lunch so I'm not too upset....a good age and reasonably fit at the end. RIP. Anyway, a bit of a fun thread so thanks to all.
