mymatedave10So last week I took my sister out for an early birthday present to see Bill Bailey, Tim Minchin and a host of other comedians at a charity concert for the Sumatran Orangutan Society. Now there's the heady question of what should I ask for off her?
Seeing as she's a student and as such is poor due to constant ingestion of vast amounts of alcohol on the weekends, it will need to be under £10 pounds and preferbly in a book format but not neccessarily. Can you think of any marvelous presents that fit that criteria?
Many thanks internet peoples, muchly appreciated.
EDIT: Just read this in John Scalzi's Whatever blog, Isaac Newton, yes that Isacc Newton, was not only the smartest man in the world at the time, he was also a crimefighter! For real!
