Rooth I need your Help :)

[Jez_Gafys]

Right rooth you being a female and all (I think ill need to check this out at i10 just for my own clarification ;) ) what sort of things would you want for christmas.

Its soo bloody hard to buy for girls.


She's 24 and needs something really really great. Shes a stunning looking girl so needs a stunning gift. She doesnt really wear jewlery aprt from a belly studs, and she likes thongs...but it might seem to cheeky if I gave her some saucy thongs as we arent officially a couple, Ive seen some nice belly studs (a silver dolphin with a ruby eye and diamonds accros the stomach)


But I want to get her something to win her heart, she classes me as her closest friend, so the gift has to be magnificent.


So Rooth what sort of Presents would win your heart ?, whats makes you go mmmmmmmmmm, and all soppy :)

HELP ME PLS :)

[zhardoum]

I aint a girl, but thats one hell of a question...

Usually lots of drink gets your where your trying to go ;)

Apparently, if reports are true, ladies of that age are now tech junkies like guys, and prefer something more substantial than a bottle of good old number 5.

I don't know how much money you were thinking of spending, but how about something really useful, like a portable mp3 or cd player? that way she will always use it, always think of you when she does.

Its not exactly super personal, but then again, go in too strong and you might scare her off.

Get her a walkman type thingy if she aint got one, and throw in a pair of big bunny rabbit slippers with it, if it's far more than she expected, then she might just put 2 and 2 together, and end up a couple!

I know its against the grain, but apparently this is what the X generation go for, my wife went all goooey when i bought her a cd player for her birthday, in a sense it means you are treating them maturely, rather than the usual chocolates et al, which they get every year from everybody.

[Jez_Gafys]

Well I dont know..

She is very lady like but hates many woman and their ways. She hates the way many woman biatch, she cant stand window shopping or shopping at all, and she prefers a pint of lagar to a vodka, but she also loves white wine.

Its just soo damn hard. She has just brought a new house so I was thinking of getting her something for her house, maybe a nice fancy looking silver Wine holder typa thing (something from the Gadjet shop looked good :)

Oh and Money is no issue.

[zhardoum]

Ohh, this gets harded by the secong.

A lady who can be both mannered and one of the lads, eek!

Well if she has a new house, last thing she wants is another dust collector.

I am afraid the wine holder probably will get shoved to the back of the cupboard at some point, so you need to focus on what she really needs, apart from the mortgage paid probably!.

Might sound stupid, but how about some vouchers for a decent store, do you live near London, how about £200 of vouchers for eek, forgotten the place on oxford street, wife used to make the credit card company throw parties whenever she visited, begings with H,, not habitat, dam cant remember.

Anyway, you get the gist, why don't you, as a christmas present offer to make her dinner, (poss in her new house) and at the dinner give her the vouchers, then she can get whatever she wants for her house, and it will be something that she needs, not something that I am sorry but will probably end up collecting dust.

It will be far more personal that way, and offer possibly to go with her when she goes shopping, so you can choose it together.

I believe that will probably get you the highest brownie mark score of all, letting her make the decison, but with you assisting her.

gives you ample opportunity to spend some time together as well, and how can I say this, over dinner, swing the conversation a little towards yourselves perhaps?

EDIT ADDITIONAL
I noticed you said she doesnt like shopping, but if she realy needs stuff she will still go, lets face it, if she has to get a new rug or curtains or whatever, surely its best if she buys one she likes?

[Jez_Gafys]

The H you was on about maybe House Of Fraser?

Vouchers are good but maybe a little tacky she could see it that I havent really put any thought into the present?

Her second home at the moments seems to be Ikea :) and B&Q (doing her house up you see:)

[zhardoum]

There ya go then, if you give her the vouchers in a card over dinner, and offer to go with her, then its obvious you have put a lot of thought into the present.

If you just say, heres some vouchers it means nothing, but if you say well i thought about what you really wanted, and I came to the conclusion that only you know what you really want, then its taken a lot better, especially if done in a way that means you didnt buy them five mins ago, but actually htought about it, planned it and then offer to go with her and give her a lift, means a whole heap more.

Someone else comment on this, I think I am on the right lines here, but I'd like someone else to comment.

or at least the returns queue outside... ;)

[Jez_Gafys]

Well I took the plunge this dinner time, and have bought her a Silver Dolphin with a red ruby eye and the best part of its body encrusted with diamonds belly bar/ring sort of thing.

Plus a Very lovely Big Beany Puppy

And a Plush Bear holding a red rose

Cause thats one thing she does like is little bears, teddies, etc

She just loves that that bsddevil sleeps with it everynight so I hear.

[D2M]

jez where u get that dolphin thing from? i need one for someone special (yus its r0gue! :p: )

No, seriously, I need to know!

D2M

[Ruth]

Okay, ive obviously came along too late now.

But Jez, i'm seriously the wrong lass to be asking.

Here a few reasons why:

I'm only 16
Body piercing disgusts me. Its just not natural
I dont wear any jewllery at all apart from a silver chain my grnadma got me
I dont shop. Ever.
And i sound the complete opposite of this wonderful female you described. So really, it doesnt matter


Good luck with it though. I mean, how better to say "Please sleep with me" than by giving a gal a belly ring?

(/me throws up at the thought)

[zhardoum]

for some strange reason rooth I thought you were 13!!

not cos of your comments, I must have misread something!!

I always thought the most sincere way of getting someone to sleep with you was to ask them honestly, cant say body piercing makes me get hot under the sheets but each to there own.

Hey I can sell you a gas powered rivet gun for £1000 then you'd both be having a whale of a time, or maybe the shotgun cartridge rivet gun for steel girders for £10,000 then you can have an orgy!!|

On a side note, a shotgun powered rivet gun, is as it sounds, you load a shotgun cartridge, (powder only) into it, with the rivet, hold it very firmly against the steel girder and BANG, except, you must get it exactly square. Because if you get it 1millimeter off dead on, the rivet bounces off the girder like a bullet out of a gun, the rivet gun goes into you with the same speed, and if you happen to be in an enclosed space, the rivet richoches around something cronic, until it hits something or runs out of energy!, oh boy did we have some near misses with that!!!

[Ruth]

Uhhh.... okay then.

And you probably got mixed with about me being 13 bcoz of Mouce. :rolleyes:

[Ruth]

I have a horrible story about body piercings. It'll make you sick. Its just...yuk.

But first i have to fix my stewpid ICQ. And throw up the 6 mini battenburg cakes i have just eaten.

[KBB]

jez, i would have thought that if u were gonna ask a girl, u would have chosen mouse :p: hes more woman than mouse :D

[Jez_Gafys]

well it depends what body piecing it is. My mate has his Lip, eyebrow and nipple pieced and they all look minging. Where as Debbie as just got a belly pierced and it looks so god damn sexy when you see a nice fancy jewl against her tanned skin mmmmm mmmmmm yum yum ;)

[Ruth]

/me violently throws up

It's not natural!!

On my 15th birthday, i'd had my ears pierced for 6 weeks, which is the recommended time before you take them out.
I recieved a lovely set of studs from my mum, so i delightedly put them in.

Then, at about 3 o clock in the morning, i woke up in terrible pain, startd screaming my life away, i had no idea why. Iran into my others room, who told me the stud was pointing outof my ear at a funny angle, with the back of the stud no-where to be seen.

My father then had to sit on me becuase i was screaming so much as my mother got some tweezers and....well, there ya go.

However, the story does not end there.....

About two weeks later, i tried putting in another stud, and found i could not, so i just figured the hole had closedup. Until...i realised i could feel something in my ear lobe.

I went to the hospital with my mother, and the doctor bloke told me the back of the stud was lodged i my ear, and it'd closed up around it. Not Good!

So he had to pull this thing out and....yuk.

And now i have a phobia of body piercings.

/me cries

[wishy]

EWW. I knew there was a reason i don't let people poke needles in me.

[Ruth]

Yea! I just grossed wishy out...my goal has been completed :D

Man....i hate needles...and i hate having my neck touched.

So guess how upset i was when i had to have a needle stabbedinto my neck

:sad:

[wishy]

/me remebers telling nurse to **** off before last nasty vacination.

[Ruth]

lol

I fainted when i had to have my Meningitis needley type thing

Infront of about 50 kids in my school

God, how embarrased was i? :o

[wishy]

Menengitous, now that one was ok, didn't hurt immediately, i were shivering, but thats just me, the next morning i woke up with a dead arm, everybody had them.

[Ruth]

I woke up on the floor with some woman looking at me really scaredly.

I got to miss a few lessons though, which is always a bouns in your GCSE year.

Man, needles are ****ing awful...i think everything should come in pill or ointment form....No need for needles, yknow?
Bloody awful things.

[wishy]

i've never ACTUALLY fainted yet...

[Endor]

Rooth, what the hell were u vaccinated against which required a needle in your neck?????

Ive never fainted either but last weekend I was playing in an ultimate frisbee tourney, and in the final, 10 secs b4 the end, some guy broke his leg, and I heard the crack, and saw the bone poking out of the skin, it was pretty gross, made me feel slightly queezy i can tell ya. He did secure the win for his team though so it wasnt in vain...

[Tsung]

Fainting great, I did once after giving too much blood :). I was just walking out, the next thing I knew I was waking up(?) on the floor with loads of concerned nurses around me. Weird thing is, I must of been out for a few minutes, but I cannot remember anything about it, eg. one second walking out, the next waking up.

Anyways, I managed to headbutt the door on the way down apparently really hard (I have no knowledge of doing it only a big bump the next day!!).

I dont really like needles, but only becuase nurses, like to build up to it. Eg. They show you the huge needle they are going to stick into you, then say "This isnt going to hurt a bit, give me your arm". "They then start slapping it a bit, to get a good vein, its all showmanship. Im sure they have bets on who can make the most ppl faint.

ultimate frisbee tourney
whats that? making them or throwing them. How do you score? I've never heard of such a thing? How did the guy break his leg, did the frisbee have blades on it?

[Ruth]

rofl

I wasnt getting vaccinated for owt in my neck. It was some kind of anesthetic thing for getting the earring removed.

Geez, pay attention :rolleyes:

Faiting is seriously weird. Its like being plastered. I remeber feeling the needle then opening my eyes looking up at some weird woman person, and i have had one experience where i remember being in the pub...and then i was on the bus throwing up. With nooooo recollection of how i got there. :)

[Jez_Gafys]

well I have fainted but I have of courcse drank a little too much and lost all memories of what happened.......ie i7


I was one minute drinking out on the balconies in the MD, next minute I was waking up downstairs in the foyer in me sleeping bag just in the door way with seom guy standing over me with a mop :)

Of course I remember nothing from then but im sure many for MD do :)

[Ruth]

omg

I hate being that drunk. Just...waking up the next day and having *NO IDEA* wtf is going on....and then the realisation that everyone else but you will know.

That happened to me the first time i ever had alcohol. My friend took me to the pub, saying "We'll look after you" ...and they kept buying me treble vodka and cokes, the bastards....

I have a strong memory of us, at about 11pm, putting our hands into the middle of the tabel, making some kind of friendship promise..and then im at the bustop, throwing up, talking about umberallas. And then, im on the bus throwing my guts up.

And then i wake up, and my first thought was "Where the bloody hell are my socks?"

:rolleyes:

[Jez_Gafys]

Well when I woke up I actually didnt know where I was, I looked around and I didnt reconise anywhere I dint even know that I was at the lan party. Then I sat up and saw the big screen and I realised where I was and I just sat there trying to think how the hell I got there I really could not remember a thing. I only know what happened from all the ppl in MD who saw/heard me :)

[wishy]

Rooth, did they give you the jab while you were out?

[Ruth]

No. I fainted after it.

:confused:

[wishy]

Darn

This spam was brought to you in association with the BBC's lack of TV transmitter maintainance skillz.

[LordPhil]

OMG I have had to have a needle through my eye, yes through my eye (I was sedated) but still was v. scary

[Ruth]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

There was no ****ing need for that, Phil! OMG OMG Nightmares

/me runs around squeling like a headless chicken

**** me, thats horrible....ooohh myyy gaaawwwwd!

[LordPhil]

I'm sorry Rooth.

/me gives Rooth much wubbage

[Jez_Gafys]

I know someone who had a needle injection in the eye to stop the inside of his eye collapsing.
The reason this was happening was we was all at high school and someone threw a paper aeroplane across the room and it did a perfect paper cut straight across is eye ball :) ..nice

apprently it wouldnt heal correctly so they injected something straight in to seal the wound. Amazingly it did actually get 100% right and no problems with the eye later on.

[piddle spank]

omg those spangely cork screw thingys work with anyone get her that :)

[[NBK-IGC]Silk]

I think we should see a pic of rooth!!

[LordPhil]

Well back to the original point of this thread. You say money is no problem, then either

1. Buy here a week in New-York over Christmas, as I have heard all women would lovew to do that
2. Buy a nice big silver BMW/Merc

[Ruth]

I will have a photo of me up later this evening, hopefully. I'll be sure to leave you the link...

And xmas in NY....somehow i dont think NY will be celebrating quite as much as usual.....Maybe next xmas...

[LordPhil]

I read that the people going to NY this year is bigger than most years. Hmmm how odd

[Ruth]

Wow. Thats quite weird. Hmmm...I sure as hell wouldnt want to go to NY any time soon. Anyway, ive already been once and i think thats enough for one life time.

[[NBK-IGC]Silk]

Well you can get some of the cheapest fares ever to new york and back, so if youve always wanted to go its the perfect time to do so!!

[wishy]

Yea, good point. I never thought of that... But i wouldnt want to go to New York! There'd be bits of building in the middle of the raod and stuff. And i went in March and it pissed me off then.

And can i just say, the statue of liberty is sooo smaller than i expected..what a let down. :(

[[NBK-IGC]Silk]

Thanks Rooth :). You look nothing like I thought you would!

Your mate is a bit of a sort (the one on the left in the pilchard pic).

A "bit of a sort" ...wtf does that mean?Is that good or bad!? I've had one person say she looks about 50....poor Niki.

Anyway. What did you want me to look like? I look like "a bloke" according to Fluff, which is nice. :)

One sleep to go til xmas. =/

[[NBK-IGC]Silk]

hehe sorry, being a sort means she is good looking! Sorry its me c-ockney coming out :) .

I expected you too look more geeky to be honest.....

[Dwarf_Pr0n]

This one looks a little bit of a moose
http://users.0800dial.com/nick.patchett/rooth/kay.jpg
Ohhhhhh I crack myself up sometimes :)
You see I said she looked like a moose cos she has antlers... Oh my talents are wasted in this forum :(

:D :D :D

[Ruth]

rofl

Thats a reeeally bad photo of Kay. I think she's gonna kick my ass when she see's these photos.....

But i cant wait to tell Niki she looks like a "good looking 50 year old"...quite a scary thought really.

And um...cheers (i guess) for the not geeky thing. Even though i do actually look like a geek.....

[[NBK-IGC]Silk]

she dont look 50!

[Ruth]

Well, me mate Fluff said she looked about 50. So there you go. I assure you...she acts like it too. Niki is the mother of the group...she says things like "Stuart, dont try and get 40 penny chews into your motuh, you'll make yourself bleed" and "omg...Mr Christmas is waaay better than a blow up muscle man"

You be the judge....

[D2M]
