My daughter wished me Happy Fathers Day for the first time....

Snap, ant that was all I got!

my daughter understands me

Yep she knows just how to wrap you round her little finger.....

In my experience you have usually earned the bottle of whisky.

Taxi of Dad cheap late nite rates

Bank of Dad cheapest loans available

Arm of Dad up the Aisle Costs a fortune

Now its second generation Grand dads Babyminding service cost a snore bloody nora!

I am only jealous all I had was a six pack selection of proper beers. to drink on the boat.

Nice to know she was thinking of me when I am half a world away...

Bottle of Cockspur rum. And a card. First time since they were little. Very touched my boys remembered me. I think only the youngest actually remembered me and the two older lads just claimed brownie points!

Nice rum though

Terry's chocolate orange. I shall keep it for the next weekend on the boat.

My daughter bought me a kid's snorkel and swimming goggles.
But I think she was having a dig, just because I fell off the pontoon on Saturday night.

Is my family unusual in boycotting these spurious "days" foisted on us by rapacious retailers and advertisers? I am proud to have never given or received anything on Fathers' Day, we do not acknowledge Mothers'Day (US or UK), do not celebrate Valentine's Day, don't exchange Easter Cards and don't do anything special at Hallowe'en. We do give gifts for birthdays and Christmas.

We don't do Father's Day. We do do Mother's Day (that's an older tradition, originally religious I believe). Easter to me is just a couple of handy bank holidays, though my mum seems to think I ought to be either doing something special down here or going up to see them. Some friends used to do Halloween fancy-dress parties but these have stopped in the last couple of years. I generally make sure I have something in the house in case of trick-or-treaters, but in practice I'm not usually home from work in time for most of them.

I know the Scots are tight but that takes the biscuit; however, I am Greek and therefore I reserve the right, under the present economical situation, and in support to my fellow countrymen, not to buy presents for anybody, likely for ever after.

I never get boaty presents...... Until this fathers day. I got a Yak inflatable kayak which is a perfect fit for my cockpit locker. I was blown away! Kids dont earn money (yet) so I can only assume Swmbo (wifey) is having an affair.

The most important thing is that you got a boaty present; don't worry about the affair!!!
