I think the fact that in total 7 of them are needed might be an issue.

Thanks for the feedback people. Lush has put it sharply into perspective and made me feel like a bit of a bumhole now. I may have to get her some flowers or a can of Whiet Lightning to ease my nagging concience. If she hasn't already taken it back, I will try it on tonight and take up Pavs suggestion, and use it as a backup shirt for non-England games that I am watching in the privacy of my own front room. Hopefully I won't forget I'm wearing it and accidentally venture out in public. If anyone see's me out and about in this shirt, I'd appreciate a tap on the shoulder and a discreet reminder that its my "indoor" England shirt, and that I should turn it inside out immediately.

Thank you.

Go out and buy her something equally repellent. Then when did tells you she doesn't like it (as most women think thats alright for them to do) you can say you didn't like that shirt she got you. She can't complain and you get your money back when you refund it. However this might backfire as your bird clearly has terrible taste meaning she might like that Elizabeth Duke broken heart necklace you get her.

I think the nice bit about getting a present is that someone has actually thought about you, gone out to the shops or ordered something for you, has parted with their hard-earned cash and is looking forward to seeing you be pleased about it.

Otherwise you might as well order your own presents from a catalogue.

I'd give her a big kiss and say how great it was that she'd bought you a gift - without focussing too much on whether or not you liked the gift itself.

Who asked you?

SAP.

Tell her you are really sorry and to make it up to her you will quite happily seek out a fit bird for the two of you to have a threes up with. Nice gesture I think.

I will keep an eye out for you around Southwick Square.

My other half hates football and is refusing to watch any England games. Now I am on a hiding to nothing and she won't even put a flag out of the window :angry:

I overcame this lack of support last night by presenting her with an England St George Apron which I brought at Woolworths Plc for £ 4.99 which she is going to wear every time England play and she is doing the housework.

Best compromise I could manage. I'm too good to her.

Put it on one evening - She'll think you like it
Offer to cook dinner as a thank you - Nice gesture
Whip up a quick spaghetti bolognese and spill it all over the shirt.

Alternatively, hide it in with the coloured wash, then blame her when it comes out a nice shade of pink.

Hey Easy,

It's gonna get worse. After we win the World Cup, she's gonna buy you 'Sven's Story' for Christmas.
