Over the next weekend I have 5 friends with birthdays. I must really like those Aquas. Anyway, one of them kicks off a round of 40th birthdays that will hit this year. I know a lot of people born in '69! First off is easy, Mr Aqua is getting a crate of beer, with maybe a balloon with 40 on it it for decoration. Or I may skip that bit. Then, as the signs turn, we have Mr Pisces. No, that won't do. So I thought about it, and went online for inspiration. I was rather surprised at some of the offerings. Pictures to follow.

Sensitive Pisces, I mean, would you offer him this? It's soap, apparently: Would you buy it for anyone? O.K. Don't answer that. This is just so, so, English: But not the kind of English this guy is, I just wouldn't... I think my brother might like that one though. That picture doesn't come up so well, they are 'After Curry Ring of Fire Wipes' apparently. They're meant to be squeezable, kind of like worry beads or something. Actually, I don't want to think about it too much. I think I'll stick with a card, maybe make one and put in a poem. http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/unusual-birthday-presents/mens-birthday-gifts.html IP: Logged |

This alone is a sales point for me. But not on Borat. Do you think that Gerry Butler would wear one? I reckon so. He seems the kind to try anything at least once. Where do I buy one? IP: Logged |

BM, for mr pisces, is there a foreign country that he likes, cause on the web, you could look for the front page of a newspaper of that country for the day he was born!? IP: Logged |

I like the newspaper idea. He'd probably look good in the Borat wear, quite hairy. Better not push it, though. IP: Logged |
