This thread was started last year, wingman was being efficient and didn't start another thread...

Usually the shops are full of tat like mugs and keyrings with "best dad" or "no1 dad" on etc. Yet at mothers day they are expected to get decent stuff.

It's my Birthday on Fathers Day, This year it's going to be horrible the reason I have not been on here is due to the fact I have just split up and it's been a nasty split up, I'm worried where I'm going to be living I don't get to see my daughter much she is now 18. So come Fathers spending the day with her will be the best fathers day ever.

Sorry to hear of your split. Hope it does work out on Father's Day this year and you get to see your daughter.

To my Dad.

You've seen me through some rough times, self inflicted stupid times when i was at rock bottom.

Times when you could have walked away, you stuck there.

When i seemed a burden, you were the rock.

Love you Dad

( and no this is not meant to be a downer - just celebrate your Dad )

Superb post - very touching.

Real men treat themselves all year and don't need "gifts"

Father's day france is sunday... I wonder if I'll get 2 days like my wife makes me do for mother's day!? I apparently have to do UK one and French one for her, so will be making sure she knows this haha

I never saw anyone buying or eating toberlone in Switzerland , Lindt didn't seem that popular either and they don't really have that many varieties

Seemed most people went to migro to stock up on chocolate, they own the "frey" chocolate brand
I was addicted to these https://www.chocolatfrey.ch/en/products/product-detail?ean=7616500644410

so much choice https://www.chocolatfrey.ch/en/products/products
so many calories

Mine passed away 2 months ago, this one is going to be painful

A lot of us wish our dads were still around, personally I’ll get a call and maybe a WhatsApp from # 2 son, and as usual, around 22.00 hours on the day, a WhatsApp from # 1 son in Germany, with the pro forma message, “Sorry dad, just heard on the radio that it’s Fathers Day in U.K.”

Nice. I'd hang on to that if I were you.

LOL - I see what you did there

LOL - I see what you did there

And it only took you a year to get it!

I'm currently 3d printing a 25cm moon.
It will be placed on a rotating Led uplit mount.
It will light up and you will see all the surface detail.

That's my father in laws present.

It's been printing for 4 days so far... About 1 more to go.

I've had no use of my best printer in this time so he bloody well better like it.
