Sure! And there could be a sort of free agency period where any unhappy ones could look for a new JMB'er. So then.... if Mr May actually does read any of this he's probably going to think we all need to be certified even more so than he thought we did already ;D am LOVING this line of thinking on the thread

I would take good care of my James. I would import tea for him and brush him out every time he goes out in the rain.

Any ideas what T-shirt size James may be? I think he gives his measurements in the man lab where he is fitted for his boiler suit. If you're in the US I'd go with a Large.

Holy crap! I hadn't realized his birthday was coming up soon. I wish there was a collective thing we could do. Thinking...thinking....
Show up en masse to his house and administer birthday spankings, er, sing "Happy Birthday?"
Nevermind. I got nothing.

He probably could fit a Large, but he's got that tummy to contend with. Maybe an XL. I'll brainstorm further.... Maybe something intangible, like a gift certificate to a restaurant...Not that he'd go for it, but maybe something that involved a day of pampering for him that we each could chip in the cost for? I'd be willing to. A gift certificate for a deep tissue massage could loosen everything in his back and could do wonders if done correctly and thoroughly. They are like the auto mechanics for the body. I can do more research if people think it is a good idea. ;D I highly doubt he indulges in that sort of thing for himself. He may enjoy it if he gave it a go. It's a thought. 8 inches would be...just right... :: cough:: Mind if I hop in that taxi with you? I haven't been there in...oh, 10 minutes...I'm overdue.

yea!!! I suggested that as well with Christmas - I like it! I think it's best if we all send money to a boardmember in England. And then everybody gets to choose what amount of money they're going to send, so nobobdy is forced to go over their budget. I love the idea of a voucher.

In reality, probably what he'd REALLY want for his birthday is to be left alone!

American hard gums. You know it makes sense ;D I'm almost convinced of my memory in this - but at one signing of his that I went to, I'm sure he was requesting food items frem the attendees. Poor lad must be half starved

Heheh, maybe, JMSquared, but a present can't do any harm, can it? Only if we'd send it to his real address, but we'll do it via Fiona.
A watch or shirt is nice, Morgan!
I was thinking of a real cool airfix model or so.... Or maybe... no. Hmm... *thinks*

I'm almost convinced of my memory in this - but at one signing of his that I went to, I'm sure he was requesting food items frem the attendees. Poor lad must be half starved It was the Canary Wharf one last November, Daisy. People brought food, and he stuffed himself the whole time, to such an extent that one lady went back to ask for her photo with him to be re-taken as he was so obviously chewing. He may well have been hungry, but at least we know the lad has a healthy appetite (and we also know where that tummy has come from - sorry, James!) Must admit I tend to agree with jm 2 about just leaving him alone - and it's difficult enough to buy something for male friends/relatives, let alone a man who we like to think we know but don't in reality, or truly appreciate what he likes. Also it's a 'what do you get for the man who has everything?' situation. Nice card? Maybe. Our good wishes here on the JMB? Probably about right. (Sorry if that sounds too sensible!)

Sorry but going to be a tight arse now.I aint putting money in the pot for a present!!! He's loaded,I'm not. Just send a card or something of novelty value that will get a chuckle out of him. I'd say he'd be pretty happy with that.

Lol @ Antonia. That's true.
I liked my idea before Christmas. I, for example, buy a big postcardm write something on it and then send it in an envelope to someone else on the board. Then that someone writes something on it, makes another envelope and sends it on to someone else. However, it's a bit tto late for that now, lol.

Agreed, Antonia. I say he should shout all his cash-strapped supporters a pint for his birthday instead. He'd love that. ;D I never did try LP when I was over there...

I agree with JM 2 And what do you buy a man who has everything, when probably all he really wants is a pie and a pint on his birthday! We have a Happy Birthday thread on here where you can leave best wishes etc and as we know he is prone to dropping in occassionally - just to be nosey

Flavored condoms go quite well over here.. especially chocolate and banana... Not that I would know anything about that, but anyway... A card would be a nice idea as well, and thoughtful... I only suggested the intagible gift for the very reason Dit mentioned.. "what do you get the person who has everything?" But for practicality's sake, a card or a heartfelt note sent from all of us to Fiona should be more than sufficient, I should think. And the more I think about JM 2's suggestion, the more sense it makes.

Flavored condoms go quite well over here.. especially chocolate and banana... Flavored? Are they edible? Am I that far out of the loop? Anyhow, the only present that I think James may enjoy ( and this is credit to Morganstarr) would be a bunch of brightly-colored, uniquely-patterned socks. Perhaps he would even wear them on tv so that we could see them.

"Surprise!" ;D Now I'm getting mental images of a poor, lone, unopened suitcase sitting on a busy street in downtown Hammersmith, ignored by all the passers-by as it aimlessly shuffles along the road... I'll make sure to use a case with four wheels, not two. ;D

I'd get James a boost pack, but I bet he's got one of them already. They're really useful for a quick jump start. Then I'd bake my famous double chocolate bday cake and decorate it myself-I'm a closet cake decorator
