looks total sh.ite to me!!!! only one pint storage ffs

mate, go here:

www.paramountzone.com

they do remote controlled helis, job done for the over-8s :)

Honestly if someone can suggest a way of getting all this done and dusted. Tonight. On the tinternet. then i'm there. can't be fked with the crowds. Luton was awful today, and i only went to the p.issing pub. can you buy cr.ap from argos and pick it up the next day? or wednesday or even thursday? can anyonebe bothered to look at their website for sometihing that might amuse a young child for a few hours (lets face it they're gonna get bored of it whatever it is(except a wii) soon enough). And they defo ain't getting a fkin wii.

you dont want it simple you are simple...your DAD...5 nephews and a niece and you ask this question on the 22nd almost!....

You seem to be a very considerate Son and Uncle.....have you thought that they all may have got you something really nice?....

Get yourself out tomoro matey,just go to Hamleys or Toys r Us ffs.......

and Ann Summers for pops!!!

don't wanna do that lawro. honestly anything half decent off argos will do me.

Does anyone, honestly, know if you can buy stuff off argos on the internet and pick it up the next day? i don't trust the post.

Went to Luton shopping for family and ended up in a pub!.....

selfish lazy t-wat...........

none of them have got me fk all. so b.ollox to that. i will only get 1 present and that is from my brother in law. we do secret santa in my family. and thank fek for that or i'd be getting every godforsaken relative a p.issing present that they don'[t want and i don't want to buy.

I just put money in a card for my nephews and nieces, i sign it from uncle sip , that is what they know me by :^0

tbf i went to luton to go to work and ended up in a pub. didn't even think about shopping for the family until got home p.issde.

olo

so you expect 2yr to 8yr olds to get you presents!..


confirmed selfish t-wat.....

so for the final time.....

can i pick something up at argos that i buy on tinternet. really don't wanna waste any of my lunchtime queueing.

Rob, yes, you can 'ring and reserve' stuff from Argos - or have it delivered (although I'm not sure if you'll be in time for Christmas now to have it/them delivered).

Just have a browse through the Argos website and then when you've chosen stuff you can enter your location and book which store you want to pick your goods up from - or use the 'phone.

Here you go, Rob [from Argos website]:

"Check & ReserveBeat the crowds to the hottest gifts - check stock and reserve your items so that they're ready and waiting for you in-store.
Check & Reserve is available on all items marked 'Can be reserved'. If in stock, they will be available for immediate collection and held until the end of the next working day.

Did You Know?
...once reserved, your items are available for immediate collection. Any item not in stock at the store today can usually be ordered for you from our warehouse, to collect within 3 working days*.

How to Check & Reserve online
Other ways to Check & Reserve

Last order date for delivery is noon on the 22nd December - small items only.

i don't care what they say tommy. You're a top bloke.

as it happens the weather here is sh.ite and i might get a day off tomorrow but i'm gonna have a gander anyway and hopefully all done by half past midnight. If still sobre i will update on the pub thread.

find a decent bird (they do exist), get her up the duff. hey presto, those cvnts owe YOU presents.

in the meantime easter.

just found this teamaker thing, but it only seems to make one cup of tea. that's no fkin good. I thought you could get a teamaker that did a whole pot. Any experts around?

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500001801&langId=-1&searchTerms=TEAMAKER#tabrev

Good luck Rob!

It's definitely the best way to shop (online).
I bought my telly from Argos a few months ago and the 'reserve' thing was just the job, plus, I had a couple of computer chairs delivered the next week.
Saves valuable drinking time!

nice one tommy.

regarding "teamakers" is anyone an expert here. i've searched on argos for teamaker and i only get that one item. is that because i am using the wrong words when searching, or are they just out of fashion. They seem very eighties t me, but at the same time they seem a cracking idea, much better than my dad going downstairs in the cold to the kitchen every p.ssng morning just to turn the kettle on. and then wait for it to boil. and then etc etc. when it could be on his bedside table.

buy him a gobbling teasmade. he'll be forever grateful

just looked under the 2-3yr old section. You can buy a paddling pool for 2.39 ffs. iT might be sh.it but by christ argos can't be beaten for value. no siree.

Sorry Rob, I have no idea about teamakers, but I've just looked at the site and it does look like they only have one.

thats what i thought tommy - looks a bit shltt.y too. would feel a bit guilty gettin me dad a teamaker that only made one cup, so my mum still had to go down stairs in the cold and put the kettle on. don't suppose my dad would care though. :)

if the teamaker idea doesn't pan out, couldn't your pop have the traditional teamaking facilities in the bedroom to save your mum going downstairs? you know, like in a hotel bedroom.

Rob, I'd have thought you could just bung another cup in the hole thing after the first cup was made?
The reviews are pretty good from people who've bought one.

munch - i suppose i could just get a kettle, but it would be a bit naff. i'm sold by Tommy's theory. I'm gonna get it and if it is sh.t i will just claim ignorance ~(or blame it on a bloke called Toes off the chit chat forum) if it is a success then you will never hear of me again.

:)

Next stop the 8yo nephew? Just seen that you can buy a bag of 100 balls. quirky yes, butI might just buy a couple of bags.

he should get his arris outa bed and make his own tea....concentrate on your 5 nephews and niece........

he prob only drinks coffee anyway.....but i would go along with the gobbling tesmade suggestion if not......about a 25 yr old one...

no....22!

i didn't mean buy your dad a kettle as a christmas present by the way, just as an option to save you mum having to traipse downstairs.

only getting my dad a present because i drew his name out the hat. we do secret santa - last year i had to buy a present for my brother in law. doesn't bother me, so long as it is only one sodding present.

golfnut - maybe he is unable to get out of bed. he may be elderly.

Rob, be my guest at blaming 'Toes from the forum' if it doesn't work!

They have a very easy returns policy too - so you'll have no problem on getting a refund after Christmas if it doesn't work/isn't suitable (within 30 days):

now you are aftertiming!

No mate...read above...

i just have. where does it say ps4's dad isn't elderly?

my dad is 67yo and relatively fit. i just think it is a bit daft that now he has retired he has to go downstairs when, despite the central heating, it is still colder than being in bed when he could just have his cup of tea ready by his bedside. He is not what I would call "elderly" and certainly not decrepid.

Doesnt say hes not elderly but he can get down the stairs....he doesnt wat a tesmade he wants a bungalow....

no he is 68 actually. :)

oh yeah, missed that, sorry.

anyway that's all decided upon. i've found some crappy piano/organ thing for A.N.othernephew. just need 4 more. not sure about those bags with 100 balls in now, they seem like a living nightmare in hindsight.

buy the 5 year old a drum kit, it'll make you smile at least.

got 2 nephews coming over from australia and they'[re real sods. they'll just get bored of whatever toy you get them within 5 minutes (unless someone else wants to play with it) and watch tv. so i might as well get them something really sh.it. any ideas?

im in my 60s 4thst and if my son got me one of those naff 80s things i would knock him out with it.....!

put a bit of thought into it........

tesco

got 2 nephews coming over from australia ......
easy then....buy them a kettle and they can make the old mans tea!......simple

i have done golfnut. It is a brilliant idea - i did put thought into it. It will save him getting up in the cold morning and going downstairs to put the kettle on ffs. it will be there waiting for him by his bedside.

A cracking present imo.

its not like i bought him a fkin gift voucher is it now that s literally thoughtless.

4th...just put a kettle in the bedroom!....and biscuit barrel if you want......

Ok he has the teasmaid in the bedroomm...what about milk?...sugar?...cup an saucer?...

i can't stretch to a kitchen golfnut.

i got two of those electronic keyboards - is that ok for the two 4year olds? if so i need something for the 5yo the 8yo and the 3yo niece.

he prob drinks his tea downstairs anyway....so if he has a teasmaid in the bedroomm he is just gonna spill it all takin it down the stairs!....lol

no he'll be right.

walkie talkies for the 8yo. nearly there.
don't know why people all fuss and fight over christmas shoppint. it's a piece of p.iss

5yo
...any little remote car..cost a tenner

the 8yo
Early learning language book...Spanish/French....tenner again

and the 3yo niece.
any toy thats cute and it sqeaks!...even if its just for a week!

being a bit tight now, those walkie talkies are 6.49. but for that you get two of them - could i split that between two of them?

the (nearly) 3 yo neice is now looking problematic. i suppose anything pink will do.

defo not spending money teaching my nephew to speak french ffs. or spanish ffs. fk that. Chemistry set maybe. French no.

Any christmas present ideas for a sister whose just moved house? Should be easy really given the circumstances but can't think of owt.

dunno mate. i'm specialising in sh.t presents this year, so prob not much help.

gotta laugh at childrens play sand - 2.99 for 15kg bag ffs. used to be twenty quid a tonne i'm sure.

it's a nightmare, just gotta ask her what she hasn't got imo. and then get it.

fkin christmas.

Ro, your post @00:48 has really made me laugh!

*Rob

Glad to hear it Tommy. Thanks for your advice on this thread too - look you've made me use punctuation and capital letters and stuff. In the same way I always sit up straight when a copper walks into the pub. :)

Right....

we've got:

one teasmaid
2 electronic organs (for the 4 year olds)
2 walkie talkie sets (for the 5 and 8 year olds)

nothing for the 3 year old neice. she's not into dolls and sh.t from what i've seen so a little stuck here. anyone?

Ha ha Rob!

What about this for her, Rob?
