Nasty Father's Day gifts
Was looking at a catalogue brought out specially for Father's Day by those arbiters of refinement and good taste, Argos, and here are three I definitely don't want:
a) a Man Utd gold ear stud
b) a gold-plated ring with a bulldog superimposed on a Union Jack. Perfect for leaving your mark on some poor asylum-seeker's face?
c) a "game" for four people where the loser gets an electric shock (and you thought the Dr. Who script was far-fetched?)
Socks will do nicely.

Yeah, I know, Hox. One I saw featured Mod tracks from the 60's and the latter Mod revival. Quite hip, I thought, until the voice-over implored you to buy it for father's day and I remembered that 1980 is 25 years ago.
I pretended not to be shocked by the thought of Paul Weller fan's being fathers and comforted myself by running my fingers through my long (for me, nowadays) hair. On impulse, I went upstairs and combed it all forwards and presented myself back in the lounge to seek approval.
Oh well.

Oh god, i bought c) for a mate of mine a couple of years ago. We played it at a party, to great hilarity.
Agree the other two sound dodgy...

I'd be more than happy if my kids even knew it was Fathers Day.

oh crap, it isn't is it?

I saw an Ad on TV last night for a rock compilation CD. The featured tracks had me ready to buy it, when the voiceover announced that it was "the perfect gift for fathers day".
It made me feel "hip".
As in "replacement".
