The Mrs' birthday

[Babelfish]

Our lass turns 50 next month and when I asked her best mate for some advice about what I should do to make it a really special occasion, she said "book a table at your favourite place, and buy her a present that'll make her face light up".

So snooker and a torch it is then!

After dropping loads of hints about Swedish food my mate took his wife to IKEA and used the Family Card to get a discount on the meal.
He did take her to Copenhagen the following week.

And what have going to Copenhagen to do with going to Ikea and swedish food? Except that there are way to many danes in Copenhagen?
You tickled my interest, what is considered being swedish food?

Errrr....meatballs......according to Tescos anyway

 

[Uruk-Hai]

But the meatballs should be server with fresh boiled potatoes, brown cream sauce and lingonberry jam. And preferably have crispbread at the side.
It is certainly a bit different to Italian meatballs.

There is always this.

At least it lights up! and allows more time for your painting.

Yep, Go for it Babledude....you show the girl a good time Steve.

Not quite as brave as booking 6 feet of display space at the IPMS Scottish nationals and a week at Sellerfield eh?

No IKEA meatballs and chips none of that boiled potato nonsense... I so hate furniture shopping that my wife does it and takes me along to be shown her final choice. If she wants me to go to ikea I only go if I get meat balls and chip or I stay at home.

For your Mrs 50th no idea - I sent mine to Oman to Arabian horse stables with the eldest. as the youngest was in school I had to take care of her...

Nothing, they were two separate events. She always wanted to go to Sweden, Norway or Denmark. Going to IKEA was his joke.
Surstromming ........ fermented herring ........ banned by a number of the worlds major airlines ......... brilliant
Norwegian Rackfisk........ fermented char
