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?

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

Was it anything from this thread?

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.

No problem

Was it the bad science one?

One of these?

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

This one?

Nope

This?

This?

One of these?

No, but I am getting some great ideas .

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

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

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?

London!

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

Or are you being ironic?

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

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?

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

Good luck with your search.
