    Do you want to borrow my ouija board to ask him what he wants?

    Good one!

    For those that don't know what this is:
    The belly wheel is a great invention for pregnant women and the clinically obese. Simply slip on the wheel support and off you go!

    Yes.

    There was a thread last year - cannot find it now- but it encouraged everyone whose father was still alive to go an have a pint or visit them.

    My father passed away 12 years ago this year and I never got to have a pint with him.

    So my advice, if the old man is still around and even if he annoys you :) try and make an effort on Father's day as he wont be around forever.

    Sorry, but we're all a bit loopy, Loopy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,198 ✭✭✭Baldie


    I got a sat nav. I bought it during the week, then my wife turned around and said "That can be your Father's Day present, I'll pay for it"

    Lazy or wha??!!

    Same here...we should pay for them to get vasectomies so they stop spreading their seed and having wee 'uns they don't intend to look after.

    My late father appreciated a good sense of humour which was why he tried to have me adopted.

    Iam getting him a hooker to pay him back for the one he got me on my 14th birthday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,383 ✭✭✭emeraldstar


    Nothing. My father hates Fathers Day :D

    I usually buy him a few DVD box sets. Last year I bought him Season One of Dexter and Prison Break which he loved so I might get Season Two of both of them for him this year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,859 ✭✭✭✭Sharpshooter


    Well I'll be getting mine what I get him every year,and that's socks and underwear, daft old sod won't go shopping for them himself.:D
    Then I will put with those his usual bottle of Fathers day Jamaican rum and a bottle of OJ for the next mornin' should he partake of the rum that night./he always does.:D
    And finally I make sure he has the makings of a fry up in the fridge should he fancy one when he eventually wakes up.

    Since mam died I try to think of everything he might like and according to him I am spot on every year.

    In fairness,that sounds like a great night in!But do you make the fry-up for him?

    Nope, he is on his own since mam died but he is a very independent man and likes it like that.
    He always says the day he cant do things for himself is the day he will give up.:)

    I tell him I love him every day and always kiss him goodbye, cos you never know when it's going to be for the last time.

    / he is one cool fecker so he makes it easy.:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,920 ✭✭✭Dusty87


    He'l get a 'happy fathers day' and i wil get a grunt resembling 'thanks'. Do fathers to be get presents?

    If it was me I would like the fry to be made,but then again I'am not a aul man!

    Great idea for a gift though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,431 ✭✭✭✭Saibh


    My father doesn't believe in Fathers day stuff, so I think I will let him cook dinner that day for a change....

    I know Darlin' but everyones entitled to my opinion ;)

    My Dad is going out with a French Chick who is younger than me, so I will probably get him condoms this year as the thoughts of having a stepmom younger than me is just.... odd!

    Your dad sounds like a legend. I'd say he goes bareback though.
