Cheap and easy though.

Just email the Pompey fan who cosplays as a souvenir pawn shop and ask him where the best junkyard is.

There's one at Fratton Park, and another at Selhurst Park. I don't want to go to either. All their shit is overpriced anyway.

Always.




I expect so.




Being that I'm completely shit (I'm a bloke FFS), time is of the essence (see what I did there) so I need to go get something now.
OK off the bat if you're in a panic here's 3 suggestions. Classic all rounders, any time of year, casual or formal setting and wont ' shout ' like a young blokes fragrance.

Vinyl. Or a bottle of Taylor's 2018 Late Bottled Vintage Port. As recommended on Sunday Brunch last week then, lo and behold, a Christmas Miracle - friend gave me a bottle this week. Might still be on offer too. Apparently no decanting required!

Still think its silly to let pride stand in the way of giving a football gift.

They fought for promotion for how long? Six years?

The least you can do is to print and frame a photo of the current Championship league table.

When I think of Sauvage, I think of Johnny Depp digging a hole in the middle of nowhere, presumably to bury someone.

Tried the Acqua Di, liked it, bought it.

Thanks.

Buying him a perfume very risky UNLESS you are sure you know the one he likes (maybe ask his better half?).

Otherwise a crate of beers works - again get him ones he likes, not a 'gift selection'/ Advantage of this is that your gift can involve 6 bottles, 12 or 24 or whatever, to suit your budget/how much you like him/how much he spent on you!

And maybe a nice new pint glass to drink them out of as a small addition.
