FR Well, I had a horrible feeling shortly after starting this thread that lots of Americans would fall over each other in their eagerness to apprise me of the fact that I must have "issues". In response to such an observation, I would of course point out that I can't have "issues" because I'm not American. As a Brit I have problems. Whatever, this is precisely a thread for those who have problems, or issues, and those who don't have either I would politely ask to move on to a different thread. We want no balanced, warm and loving people here. We want misanthropes. Also, I don't think we should tolerate the view of e.g. FirmhandNY who opines: "I'm not sure that I'd give anyone a gift that I did not like. Nor do I understand the reason someone would, really." We should have no platform here for this kind of logical and reasonable nonsense. So, some more suggestions. First - is it still possible to buy posters of weeping boys? They're staggeringly tasteless and well worth giving to a friend's annoying teenaged daughter. Likewise that famous picture of the female tennis player scratching her arse. And any picture of dolphins frolicking in the sea. My father's got a clock that I'd love to find, if I could. It's a wall-clock with a pendulum. The Roman numerals on it are stuck-on transfers, and the six is where the twelve should be, and vice versa. It has a completely useless pendulum underneath - useless because it's a quartz, battery-powered clock. It has 'QUARTZ' in huge big letters, across its face. He loves this clock. Everyone else who looks at it shakes his or her head in wonder. It's the last word in bad taste. Actually, no it isn't. I was in a gift shop in the East End of London a while ago. There were various religious ornaments for sale, included in which were crucifixes, made of plastic sprayed with silver paint, mounted on wood-look stands. Some were plain crosses; others had a Jesus figurine on them. A customer was at the counter, enquiring about the prices. The old lady serving said, 'They're £4.99 each, or £5.99 for them ones with a little man on 'em ." I want one with a little man on it. I could nick a solid silver crucifix from the local church and leave that in its place. I know they'd thank me for it. Yes.
