The only member of my family I have nothing for yet is my grandpa. What should I buy him? Surely not crystallised fruits again!!?

One of those tea/biscuit/coffee/jam things from BhS.

My cousins got my grandad a nice boxed tie and cufflinks set for his birthday. I got him a set of 4 miniature Ralph Lauren aftershaves and my sister got him Gucci Rush shower gel. Would any of these be appropriate?

I don't think he's ever had a shower since school.

He's a big fan of Briget Jones's Diary, if that helps. But he didn't like the sequel much.

Yes, a couple of blonde tarts are bound to cheer him up.

Oh? I'd heard that there is a family preference for brunettes?

He doesn't have a video player, let alone a DVD.

Maybe you could act it out for him in his living room, hmmm?

Nick, what are crystallised fruits?

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 6 December 2002 15:26 (twenty-three years ago)

They're like fruits... but crystallised!

A cassette tape of The Goons, and a Walkman to play it on

A book of old photos of wherever he lives.
