    Xmas ..what to buy?

    I'm sure no -one needs reminding xmas is round the corner, so i am looking for suggestions for xmas pressies for my brother. To help you suggest , he is in his 30's , doesnt need anything for his pc , (so he says,) doesnt have any hobbies , only pc related stuff. Would like to get something a bit different up to about £100. Got all the dvd's and cd's he wants, so help please

    Get him something for his car (if he has one)?

    A decent toolkit.

    MP3 player.

    Gift vouchers so he can buy something for himself.

    A desktop 'weather station'.

    A gliding or flying lesson?

    A track day at Silverstone?

    The entry fee to Stringfellows with £75 left over for stuffing into thongs?

    And don't forget the ever popular day out at Spy School. Learn to throw axes, shoot pistols, sub machine guns and shotguns. They even show you how to do escape and evade manoeuvres in a car.
