Even if my dad loves a present, he never uses it so i just got him a book about Corrie which he loves, so at least he can read it once then put it away.

MM my dads not really into music corrie or tattoo's
I was thinking about getting him just another present as a joke one of those breath testers from argos since hes always drunk but it has one rating and its 1/5
would still need somthing else to...

Golf clubs, cologne, a digital photo frame, ties, watches, wallets and if he likes his car then perhaps a nice kit to upgrade his car.

Or you could just give him the £10,000 in cash - he'd probably appreciate that more :thumbs:

Drugs that a few weightlifters use... it is a sort of grey area that nobody talks about. They get offered to people at the clubs, most don't take them.

Sorry I didn't read the 20 minute bit..... you could send him parachuting when you get a job. It costs more but at least you get to spend the day training.
I would recommend it.... it's great fun. I moved away from the club I was with after a few jumps but my mate still doing it and has done well over a 1000 jumps if not 2000 by now.
