Ages ago someone recommended a book for stocking fillers, can I find the thread? Can I balls.

[suwoo]

I can't even remember what the book was about or what it was called just that it would be perfect for my BIL.

It was a compendium/almanac type of book I think and was around a fiver...maybe along the lines of this but not really.

It was possibly something to do with people that know everything.

Jeez, do I win the price for the most difficult search of the day?

[suwoo]

Come on, come on...I know you are all super searchers!

[GreatGooglyMoogly]

Was it anything from this thread?

[suwoo]

No it wasn't, but I shall peruse tht one for further ideas, ta googlymoogly.

It was more of a stocking fillers for friends thread.

[GreatGooglyMoogly]

No problem

[HappyMummyOfOne]

Was it the bad science one?

[DaftApeth]

One of these?

[suwoo]

Not a miscellany one, nor bad science but they look like great possibilities as he is a scientist.

[DaftApeth]

This one?

[suwoo]

Nope

[DaftApeth]

This?

[DaftApeth]

This?

[DaftApeth]

One of these?

[suwoo]

No, but I am getting some great ideas .

Would love to find that thread though. Can't even remember what topic it was in.

[DaftApeth]

Can you remember anyone who posted on it? Presume you didn't post on it?

[suwoo]

Nope I didn't post on it or remember anyone else who did.



I am sure the OP was asking for stocking fillers for friends for around a fiver.

Will search again..........

Sorry daftapeth, I haven't said thanks yet. Are you from Lancashire or Yorkshire?

[DaftApeth]

London!

[suwoo]

Do they say Daft Apeth in London then these days? .

Or are you being ironic?

[DaftApeth]

My family have always used it.

We have distant rellies in Wigan but don't know if it was from them.

Ds has started calling dd a daft apeth recently!

Have had a few name changes recently but might stick with this. I tend to stick with the ones I like for quite a while.

Off to bed. Would love to know what that bloody book is

[suwoo]

You're telling me!!!

I am fairly near to Wigan in North Manchester, but not met anyone who actually says daftapeth in RL . Its like one of those lancashireisms that they would use on Coronation St. Do I know you in your previous incarnations?

[KnottyLocks]

Also bananas have very cheap books. Think they are part of The Book People.

Good luck with your search.
