If your mrs-to-be
mostly wears silver-coloured metal, get her silver or platinum. If she wears gold, get her gold. If you know her favourite stone, include that. If you don't, stick with a diamond.

That's all you need to know. I say this as a woman: I don't care if it's £30, £300 or £3000, as long as it's not chavvy or full of huge rocks then I'd be happy. I'd rather have a subtle £30 argos small-diamond-on-a-silver-band ring and put the rest towards a nice honeymoon.

I say this as a man.
I'd rather my mrs to be bought me a huge scalextric and allowed me to install it in the loft.

Euphemism of the day.

I'm not ashamed to say it isn't.

When I was a student
I left my flat one morning to find three of four large carrier-bags of fully-functioning Scalextric just sat outside the door. That was rather good.

Brilliant.

There was enough track to have it set up
so that it went all round the flat, in and out of various rooms. Full working order, no reason at all that I could see why it was dumped.

Stop, you are making me salivate.
Last use of my scalextric transformer, was to set off the cannons we made.

My other half chose her ring herself, and it cost £20.
Oddly, the price of a bit of metal does not reflect the level of my love for her.
