if you get something for the household get something you'll
use as well. coffee machine or something, waffle iron or a
fancy toaster. (new kettle, digital radio for the kitchen, a
'juice maker')

I like the waffle iron idea.

I may just be purchasing a waffle iron this holiday season.

£50 worth of bongo? A great gift.

I'd buy a few boardgames. £50 would get you: Buckaroo;
Operation; Risk and Monopoly and ensure you end up
knocking seven shades out of each other by new years eve.

If you guys drink, get a small thing of absynth and have a
toast.

And then have a pyschotic roomate orgy that you guys wont
talk about for years to come.

Unless your all guys. You can ignore my comments if your all
guys.

Yes, get some 89.5% Hapsburg and it'll get you royally
fucked up. See my picture in the zilty group photo for its
effects...

When drinking it, beware the following:

It will get you drunk in literally seconds. I really mean
this- proper lose your balance, slurred speech, falling down
drunk. I would strongly advise you only drink it in the
house and be near something you can sit/collapse onto when
you do. A generous (single) shot should be enough unless
you're a really heavy drinker. You will feel wrecked after
about 15 seconds, but this soon passes and it trails off,
leaving you in a contented "jolly" state. I'd suggest you
have it at the start of the night (ideally as a first
drink), rather than at the end. This way it'll cause you to
rapidly reach the 3-4 pint happy stage, rather than lapsing
into unconciousness/throwing up.

Forget what you read about the thujone content of this
particular absinthe. Whilst it's comparatively high for most
absinthes on the market these days, it's still so low you'd
need to drink a lot to get the effect and it's so strong
that you won't be able to drink that much. Really, it's just
very, very strong alcohol. As such, don't bother
watering it down, or you'll just have a rather unpleasent
tasting and not really that strong drink.

As a guideline, a half pint of aftershock I downed in 4
seconds had less immediate effect on me than one shot of
this stuff!

Good price for it.

I've just ordered some from here myself. Whilst it's
expensive, it's not as bad as it first seems as a bottle
lasts a long time because you need so little. I also found
taking a bottle to a party and giving everyone a shot is a
good icebreaker too (because everyone is rapidly canned).

A bottle of absinthe, a waffle iron, ingredients for
waffles.

That fucking brilliant. I would be overjoyed if someone
bought that for me.

is that 89% proof?

dirtypriest - my experience with kitchen utensils is that
they get used once then never again

Then make it an event. Invite some girls over for waffles.
Make the first sunday in every month waffle day or
something.
Thats what life's all about.

Seriously, invite all the chicks you know, and some guys to
make it less suspecious. They would be impressed by your
waffle making skills.

Drinking it, I've often felt close to throwing up and other
people have said the same, but I've never actually seen it
make anyone sick. I've only ever come across one pub that
sold it and they marked you hand when serving it, as they
(sensibly) limited it to one shot per customer per night.
£4.99 a time as well!
