Paul, Ealing, 45-55

Wine and Whisky [see drinks]. A ticket to the match, Everton, natch. Anything corporate, any time, place, anywhere... Oh yes i am a tart and yes i’ve sold out.

A lottery ticket, lucky dip. A £5 bet on a horse, bearing some relevant name/colour/joke upon.... me. A ticket to the movies. A ball point re-fill for my mont blanc pen.

Jumpers, daft name for pullover. Toiletries, i know how to wash now, thank you.

I do like taking out the mountain bike, and now with the ’Blue Bitch’ I’m bike happy, I’m in need of some new winter cycling gloves, old ones a little worn! Actually now thinkng I may risk cleats on the MTB - so new shoes and pedals for that, maybe

Having resisted the rise of technology for so long yet, have capitulated...... mobile phone and now lap top..... couldn’t be without now!..... So, now i desire.... lessons in the use of, might be helpful

Not normally bothered however, I’ve seen on Amazon for £12:99, a Nike Brazil jersey in royal blue in X large, that has taken my fancy.

oh those wonderful malt whisy’s from the western isles, Jura, Islay etc to savour and celebrate, long on the peat with a drift of salt sea spray, oh yeah! love the grape too, not keen on the ones with heavy tannin but, robust reds from Oz and Chile are good ditto for the clean sharp whites. I’m not a champers guy, too much a glugger than a sipper. Actually Irish whisky is nice, different but good. can’t say enough about blue mountain coffee [see dinner party]

Shopping is a chore but, browsing in a book shop is a pleasant time passer

I am an annual member of the Tate [all four!] and use it a lot, love it, best pressie ever!

would like to see the sights from the London eye, at night. Again historical & London, i’d love to see the Karl Marx rooms/museum above the fancy Quo Vardis restuarant in soho, good bloke Karl, loved a pie and a pint.

Cuba, before Castro dies and Corporate Inc America, destroy and drown it in their global spew plan to get there this year. Also planning to see the Aurora Borealis this year too. Petra, the Red City in Jordan, would a great place to visit

this could go in ’never fails, or ’treat me’ but, Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica is the bizz. Mum bought me some for Xmas (ta Mum) but, you can never have enough!“

I’ll need a bride to start with...... perhaps i should put that in ’treat me’......!

I am devoutly secular. Though i wouldn’t mind being the ability to able to ’speak in tongues’ that would scare the bejesus out of the born agains [including born again chelski ’fans’ of whom there are many, in the house of bridge]

requires a house

Asprin! and a ruddy good reason to celebrate

Oh i’m plenty sure they’ll be plenty of these only, none come to mind immediatly
