What do I want for my birthday?

[nadger]

Chaps,
It's my birthday next week and I have very few ideas of what I want. I'm hoping for some inspiration from you lovely folks here. Post up some ideas of things upto about £50-60 which you think a random stranger on the internet might like!
Thanks in advance'

Lego, possibly one of the ideas collection ... maybe the Beatles Yellow submarine or push the budget a little and get the caterham??

Hmm

The budget isn't quite there for the usual supply of coke and hookers.

You'll have to settle for Pepsi and a scrum half.

Its my birthday today and im sitting in the house waiting until its beer oclock. The wife took me out to buy a new suit for a wedding coming up and i ended up sitting at the changing rooms on her for over 30 mins so she could try on some new stuff.

Well for what it's worth, happy birthday!
I spent a whole birthday gloss painting once. That wasn't fun.

Whisky.

Not lego.

Usually what I'm after, though the standard response these days is usually "nothing" as either I'll get bought some random tat that I really don't want / need or the wife is spending my money to get me a present.

[Dakkon]

Herpes?

[schmunk]

Gin.

[chopper602]

I've got a big birthday coming up in July and keep giving a similar response ("what do you want" - "Nothing") to MrsTheWife, so I'm expecting either nothing or some tat, so it'll probably be tat.

I might just go to the Nürburgring instead . . .

Had that and loved it. Sadly gluten and yeast intolerance has rendered beer like kryptonite for me!

[DaveOrange]

Some decent kitchen stuff - Pans, knives etc
Leatherman type thingy multi tool
Torch (You can never have too many torches)
Monocular (I have a compact 10x25 which I use often)
Decent wine
Restaurant vouchers
Cheap hooker
