Wedding presents

Should I send him my mobile via pm and ask him to give me a call to discuss his reasons for his silly goading?

Why can't you just discuss it on the board or via pm. Why would you need to hear his voice?

It's good to talk. Quicker too and a chance to clear the airich more swiftly

Fermanagh, so you can imagine it won't be as sexy as Minder's north Antrim spake.

There do be boards singing in trees in Fermanagh, or so I am told

Hardly opened a can of worms there did I?
Any more actual help as to what I should do?
£50 just sounds so much more than £40 doesn't it?

Yeah it sounds about a £10 more

[sammymaguire]

How's you mikasa?? You from armagh too? If you can get your hands on a fifty quid note I am sure the happy couple would be delighted with that gift

We're better at problems than solutions and questions than answers round these parts.

Any **** turning their nose up at 50 quid for a wedding you didn't go to isn't worth the bother imo. They can just cancel the meal.

I was supposed to go to a wedding last Sat but had to cancel as the youngest was sick so I'll pay the full whack.

The whole wedding racket does my head in. Though it does stimulate the imagination in trying to figure out ways of getting in on the action where people are so willing to lash out huge wodges of moolah for no perceptible benefit.

I reckon if I were to package a bit of software we do for network management as a "wedding special" in a white cover with bells and stuff and send out brochures to those wedding shows they have with stuff like "your wedding won't be complete without it " and "don't be the bridesmaid" and "you don't want your guests to be disappointed on your big day" I could sell it for a couple of grand a wedding and they wouldn't even ask what it was. Just suggest they have to put a CD on every plate - it's the hot new wedding thing.

Anyway, about payments presents - if you're worried about the perceived value of your "present" (aren't presents supposed to be spontaneous tokens of regard?) give them something they won't know and can't calculate the value of.

If you hold the couple in genuine esteem and would like to make a slight sacrifice to express your regard for them, but wouldn't want it to be defiled with a price label, commission a piece of art for as much as you can afford.

If, as in your case, you just want to get away with as little as possible, but don't want them to know that, buy a painting for 20 quid on Stephens Green on a Sunday morning. If you really want them to be impressed, and get maximum gratitude payoff for your investment, leave the price label on it but add a zero to it.

Think the £50 note would be something I hold onto myself! Not an Armagh man but have plenty of connections there.
