My best friend had a wee tiny baby girl in September and the dad is being a complete w*nker and pretending the poor little mite doesn't exist (long story) My mate is a little down at the moment (I'm hoping it's not post natal whatsit, but I don't think she's that bad)and I'm thinking of buying her something on the interweb and sending to her as a wee surprise...any suggestions?

Flowers? Doesn't really show imagination though...

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 12:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm off to scour the interweb, you lot are no help. I'll come back later, once I've bought something and I bet there's suggestions then!

I'm thinking, I'm thinking. Maybe some kind of super relaxation device like those scritchy things for giving head massages?

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I would say that a pampering afternoon would be in order, if you can have the baby.

Kate - Last time I was looking for a gift for her I looked under massage and got the website of a genuine Male Escort! Oh how we larfed...

PinkP - I was thinking of that but I work full time so somebody else would have to babysit....plus I'm uselss and don't know how to do babies, I might drop her or something!

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe then you could organise a babysitter & go with her, it's much more fun with someone else there!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I could take some leave and skive off work....hmmm.....

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I shall research the costs - not made of money y'know!

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

sadly, this type of this does not come cheap. :-(

Smee, that reminds me of the day that I got reprimanded at Tower, and I was taking the 7 train home very late at night afterwards, and scowling and being miserable, and this extremely hunky and well built black man walked up to me, and I thought he was going to hassle me, but he just smiled and handed me this slip of paper and said "cheer up, hon, looks like you could do with this" and when I read the slip of paper, it was an advert for SAUCY EROTIC DANCING FOR LADIES!!! I never called (though I thought about it) but we tacked the flyer up on our bulletin board for ages!

Boy, did it ever cheer me up!

And you didn't go? Not ever?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm so gonna google SAUCY EROTIC DANCING FOR LADIES!!!

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

It's your workplace not mine!

I'd suggest making HOME MADE SOUP and taking it round. But I love Soup.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Anything homemade is cool as a cheer up pressie.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, it depends on what kind of cook you are, but...

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but doesnt have to be food.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

It could be legwarmers.

You can't mess up with a Victoria Sponge, say I! Unless they are vegang or wot not.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:29 (twenty-two years ago)

a KITE!

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I can cook, I do a mean soup but she's better than me at the cooking thing and she has very expensive tastes, it's prolly gotta be something funny to cheer her up - looking at the pampering stuff she'd like I'd need a second mortgage!

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you live near a Lush? Get her some bath bombs!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't go within a mile of a Lush shop - I'm allergic to the mere thought of them!

You see why I need help with this?

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Lush stinks! I can't walk past it without sneezing. I am thinking of writing to the council to complain about air polution or some such. Having said that, I got a v. nice bath bomb for Christmas last year. But it doesn't excuse the sneeziness!

Kate yer a genius!

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

http://www.lush.co.uk/ !!!

They deliver, so you are spared the stink!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah, Smee, that is the thing I was talking of, yes! Now why could I not remember its name when it's called something as wonderful as an ORGASMATRON?!?!?

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, it'll be good for a giggle if nothing else!

I fail to see how it can be relaxing when you have to hold that thing above your head...or do you?

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, the trick is to get someone else to do it for you!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

B-b-but, if you have somebody around that will hold your ORGASMATRON for ya, would you not be as well, y'know, getting the orgasm the more conventional way?

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

my sister made me some soup and stashed it in my fridge while I was at work. when i came home I took it out of the fridge and it exploded everywhere.

so just be careful eh.

THIS DOESN'T HELP YOU AT ALL!!!!

― Fuzzy (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, you don't necessarily want to have sex with your friends, yet you could probably get them to utilise the Orgasmatron. (That is, if you didn't tell them what it was called.)

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

*mind boggling*

Boggle some more PinkP....

Now I'm torn, motorised or non motorised?

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

My eyes!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I am guessing that the motorised version will probably break very quickly, meaning it will end up non-motorised soon enough.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

ohmygod I am in hysterics!!!!!

http://www.memorisethis.com/invt/20052

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 13:59 (twenty-two years ago)

That's so gotta be the way to go!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Humping Humphrey!

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 14:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Lunch is over and the work filter hath come down - what is it?

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Humping Humphrey! *screams in hysteria*

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

"Oh no! A randy dog has gripped hold of your leg, with a look of rabid determination on its face... Even worse, this mad mutt has begun to gyrate slowly up and down... How awful - he's now humping your leg in a relentless frenzy of excitement as horrified onlookers wet themselves with laughter.

And was that a little groan of satisfaction just before it stopped? How disgusting! We simply must see it again!

That's OK, Humphrey has plenty of stamina. All he requires are 4 AA batteries and one leg (neither supplied)"

But you have to see it to appreciate it!

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Ugh! Ugh! That's perverse! But wonderful!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, should I have it sent to my house so I can put in the batteries or should I just send it to her with a gift message?

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 14:06 (twenty-two years ago)

six months pass...

an ILX t-shirt obv.
