Gromit/China Doll
I was expecting an iPod for my birthday.
I hinted that I wanted one in June.
I hinted that I wanted one in July.
I hinted that I wanted one in August.
The hints culminated in a whole 'hinting weekend' at the beginning of September.
I didn't get the iPod.
I'm now fairly certain that my partner has developed the ability to look as if he's listening to me, but instead is thinking about something completely different (China Doll - around 80% of men can do this...it's genetic).
I didn't buy the iPod in the end because apart from increased capacity (I want the 160Gb to replace my 60Gb unit), it didn't have anything else to recommend itself.
But I still want it for Christmas.
I am in the middle of devising a new hiniting strategy which includes me wearing a t-shirt bearing the slogan "BUY ME AN IPOD FOR CHRISTMAS"
