So Father's Day is little more than a week away. What are all you guys gonna do for your dads?

My dad LOVES Star Wars, so I'm gotta get him and R2D2 Beverage holder, the kind that floats on a pool or lake.

Or dads, what are you crossing your fingers for?

I'm gonna buy my dad a...wait, never mind.

Got my dad a book he'll like...
Other than that not much... kinda hard to do much else actually.

Hope i'll get a card and maybe a book.

Mau get something towards some more casting resin and RTV rubber.

Fathers day is like a little extra birthday treat.

Sorted it out a month ago
Just grabbed him a new watch and got it engraved since he lost his last one.

My lovely wife gave me the green light to buy the grey knight army from one of our fellow dakkites warwookie.having bought the mini's yesterday im over the moon,plus the kids didn't have to get me any socks or smellies(thank god).

People celebrate Father's Day?

Come on guys, we all know that the money for Father's day is better spent on Mother's Day....

If you miss the former, Dad doesn't care, if you miss the latter, you die.

I dunno yet as far as my dad goes.

But for me, Ill probably use it as an excuse to grill. Im a badass grill cook.

Nothing, I don't speak to my Father outside of Holidays.

My dad is kinda indifferent to the whole fathers day celebration. He doesn't expect anything from so I figure why bother.

All males in my family with beards say the same thing. And usually, they are.

I don't have to worry about it.
Dad's quite happy in his urn.

The father-in-law is the wife's problem.


Besides, it's only you Americans that celebrate it in June. For us it's September).

Nope, father day was today here... I totaly forgot and pretended that i helped my mom with choosing her present.

My dad just want memebership for sirus satalite radio.

Other than that, he will probaly be quite content.

Got my dad a golf t-shirt, thing is his birthday is a week before so always gets him something small.

Not wanting to pee on any strawberries here but...
The use of the word celebration and the thread in general seems to be indicative of a ramping up of the ante in all these things.

We now see St.Paddy Day cards in the shops even though there is no Irish Catholic community here.
Everything gets hyped up so much now.

Inspired by Shingoukie I am gonna get the old fellow a pair of smelly socks.

Doubt it. I am technically royalty.

Technically? How does one become technically royalty? Thats like saying you technically had sex. You cant technically have sex, you either did, or you didnt, so you either are.....or your not? Hell I am royalty, notice the name?

You marry into a royal family.
You can technically be royalty but it is difficult to manage...

You could technically be a payment for something like when a shop sells a book the author gets a bit of cash for it.

I had technical sex, does that count?

Only if it was with a technician, Avatar.

Didn't Bill Clinton tecnnically not have sex?
Which implies that you can technically have sex.

My father will get the traditional phone call and gift card to be spent wherever he wants.

Kasrkai is Kate Middleton.

/CONSPIRACY THEORY!

Since my daughter is only one and unable to write yet, I suspect I will be getting a cleverly forged card via my wife (after all, that's what she got for mother's day!)

WHAT! She's already one and can't write yet?!
Your daughter's pre-nursery group should be getting a visit from Ofsted!
Educational standards in this country are appalling!

Why, at that age I was signing my own cheques to buy Father's Day Presents for Pater.

Alternatively you could surprise the hell out of him.

My male genetic donor does nothing, deserves nothing and is worth slightly less and so will get 1 voucher for me p***ing on his teeth if his gums combust, and that's being generous. If you are, or have a proper decent human being for a Father then kudos, respect and have a great fathers day!

Im getting him 50 euros worth of crap he wont ever use
