Recommend me a birthday present

[2pad]

You know the drill, I'm getting frequent messages from Mrs 2pad and my agitated mother asking what I want for my 38th birthday in a few weeks time. I really don't have any ideas or asks and I'm generally satisfied with all I have. Can the collective PH come up with any ideas?

And you’ll lose pretty much nothing on it so when finished and bored of it dismantle and sell on.
Though that may be years as it’s epic.

My last Birthday pre lockdown I asked for a sit down family Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.

It was great & I really enjoyed it, more so than Christmas dinner on Christmas Day. No one was distracted by their gifts or what their friends were getting & it was just a really enjoyable meal.

A flask of Absinthe, a jar of pickled eggs and a large bag of scratchings...

This is pretty good fun for bashing and 60mph out of the box.

While I agree with the Lego, I massively disagree with the Chiron. I found it to be the most boring build and couldn't wait to finish it so it was done with (same at the 911 tbh). I would highly recommend the Liebherr Excavator - its fully mechanised and app controlled plus it was a really engaging build.

My other option is either the Land Rover £115 of the Lamborghini “siren” but that’s mega £

You can get mini oak barrels for oak aging drinks.

If you like a tipple it's quite interesting to compare the original with one you've oaked a bit, it's remarkable how quickly it changes the flavour and so far has always been a pleasant addition.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm under strict instructions not to grow my Lego collection any further. I have been collecting for years and have hundreds if not thousands of models inc the Chiron. I really must sell some soon...

Blend your own whisky - name it - and you can even buy bottles of it- to savour for future years.
