Sue here...
Not a Christmas present but... My brother's birthday is on 31
December and I found a wonderful present for him. He's been a real
prat to me this year. He *loves* jig-saw puzzles. His wife {who has
been irritating the hell outa me all year too} gets really cross when
he spends time on them. He's afraid to sit down to drink his tea
'cos she'll find him a job to do!! So I got him "the most difficult
jig-saw puzzle in the world" ;-) It is double-sided and the picture
is hundreds of dalmations (no border, no background) PERFECT!!!
He'd love to do it but she'll nag him to death when he does!!! This
way I get them both back! <wicked grin>

Anyone else think of a perfect gift for someone they dislike??

Saw exactly the same puzzle when shopping in Camberly last weekend.
I just couldn't think who to send it to, though....

Shame on him! :-)

Women! Huh! Discuss ...

which I hope he insists she makes and brings to him in his armchair :-)

Mine was a jigsaw puzzle for my brother too.

Mine was a picture of thousands of ...

... baked beans.

(Not double sided admittedly though I could have bought two and glued
them together (rotated for "hardness").

You know, I just read that subject as 'wicked peasant'. Now, is Sue
trying to send out subtle coded messages here? <g>

Yeah, I've seen that one. There's also a one of jelly beans, and one
with a load of brussel sprouts. As you say, the best ones are those
where its the same picture front and back, but rotated 90 degrees :)
There's a few shops for just this sort of thing in the Metrocentre, btw.
