Best gift for a girl baby and your sister will think you’re a legend...

Errrr... I'm driving to Copenhagen, not the 1950s.

It'll be a little reminder of you and your wife that she'll carry with her always...

New mothers - and particular sisters - love that sh1t... Trust me - you'll be elevated to hero status...

Instead it's just got a compartment for jewellery and trinkets. The reason? Her great uncle made it for her - He used to make musical instruments and furniture and this is the one thing that she still has of him. He used to make harps and stuff. Extraordinary. He didn't make the little musical mechanism itself, but the rest including the ornate woodwork on the lid. It's exquisite.

So go on Alex, get cracking now and you might have made it by half term (2023).

Do DFDS not run direct ferries anymore then?.

Clearly you don't. No, they've cancelled the service.

He is just angry as the hippies keep stopping him in his Landy thinking he’s off to support the anti-frackers.

Dave!

Dinny's extolling of the virtues of gifting a music box with a ballerina inside - I'm going to need a bit more time to process that, but as a holding post - daaaaaaaaayuuuuuuuumm.

Not angry Dave just somewhat perplexed.

The bloke that was just listing all the things that he does to literally SAVE THE PLANET and was doubtful as to what other meaningful changes he could make to his lifestyle in order to minimise his own detrimental effect on the aforementioned rock. In the very next post he expresses his concerns that during the discretionary two thousand mile journey that he's about to undertake in a people carrier from his chosen country of residence to the one he regards as home, to look at a baby, he might not have a functioning radio to listen to.

I guess that I just take things too literally and in reality Alex is actually just a well intentioned yet humble serf who spends his time lugging faggots around and worrying about the common good.

And I'm just a cunt.

we only read the responses for the bazinga moment

I’ll do a recycling drive at the kids school, you have a chat to China about their smokey chimneys.

Most of us are not quite at Tesla erection levels but every little helps.

Dave!

I was about to try a meaningful response, but then I found myself agreeing with your very last statement. So, I'll not bother.
