I went shopping for the wife's Christmas present at John Lewis today, can't remember if she said she wanted a Hair Dryer or a Air Fryer.

Be very careful
Buying a hair dryer by mistake WILL be taken as criticism of her current hair style.
Buying an air fryer by mistake will be taken as criticism of her cooking.
Buying nothing will not be taken as criticism, but still land you in as much trouble, but cheaper Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Thanks for the advice Andy.

I had a dream the other night. I was in a shop with all the Christmas stuff and the assistant was about to answer that most difficult question. "What to get your wife for Christmas". She was just about to tell me but the alarm clock went off. Great, I thought, I will get an alarm clock but on second thoughts I had better think of something else.

The list of possibles so far:
A new drill
A Ryobi tyre inflator
A ticket to next years Silverstone F1 grand prix
A set of off road tyres

A Ryobi tyre inflator, is ok, but the pressure gauge is woefully out, its not too happy inflating to 40 psi, ipace standard pressure At work

A drunk walking home decided to take a short cut through the cemetery,
Walking along in the dark he stumbled over a mound of dirt and fell into an open grave that was dug for an early funeral the next day.
The man tried to climb out, but he was short and the gravediggers had dug the correct six foot depth.
The man tried jumping, he tried calling for help, all to no avail.
So he decided to sit down in a corner of the hole and wait for the morning.
About an hour later, another drunk taking a short cut through the cemetery, fell into the open grave.
Like the previous drunk he tried jumping, but he just didn't have enough reach to get out.
The first drunk was watching him in the dark and said to the newcomer,
You won't make it,
He was wrong Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

This old lady had lived at the head of the bight at the bottom of Australia for many years, her only companion was Thomas her cat. Each day they would climb down the path in the cliffs to the beach & walk up and back, beach combing for anything washed up over night. This was a daily event as sometimes logs of timber & lengths of wood would wash up from passing freighters. She would collect these for fire wood & building furniture as she needed it.
This day as they were walking along the beach, she could hear this faint voice, "Help, help, help." She looked out to sea, no. Up & down the beach, no. As she walked on the voice got softer. On the way back, she could hear it again. When it was loudest, she stopped to investigate, at last she could see the bottom of a green bottle buried in the sand & only the glass bottom was visible. She squatted down & dug around the bottle until she had it out & in her hand. The voice was quite clear now. She immediately knew what she had found, she rushed up the cliff track, into the house with old Thomas right by her side. She shut all the doors, barred all the windows & took the bottle to her bedroom.
Thomas by this time knew something was going to happen & he didn't want anything to do with it so he hid under the bed. Well the old lady worked at the bottle top for ages before she could get it loose, until it finally popped out, & so did the Genie. He told her that he had been in there for hundreds of years & all that stuff & that he would grant her a wish. She looked the Genie up & down with a glint in her eyes, clasped her hands together & winked at him. He said, "Forget it lady, we are all Eunics." She said, well in that case, I would like my old tomcat Thomas changed into a lovely young 45 year old with lovely dark brown hair, well built, dressed in lovely clothes, and very,,,, well friendly.
Done said the Genie, so she reached under the bed & dragged Thomas out & the Genie snapped his fingers, Poof, the Genie was gone & there was Thomas, all fine & handsome. She looked at him & ooohhh what a man. She said, Oh Thomas, come here to me, make me a happy old lady." Thomas said, "Well lady, I bet you're sorry now that you had me fixed when I was just a little kitty Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
