I am frequently accused of being difficult to buy for when it comes to the various events in the year (birthday, christmas etc) that people kindly wish to buy presents for me.<\/p>\n

This is due to a complaint I suffer from whereby my brain suddenly empties itself when queried about such things. The same thing happens when I enter a music shop with money or vouchers to spend.<\/p>\n

As such I have compiled a list of things that, given the funds, I would buy for myself. If you feel like buying one or more of them for me, please do. The things at Amazon will hopefully remove them from my wishlist when purchased, other things won’t but I will be very pleased if I receive them. (You may wish to inform my better half if you buy one of those for Christmas or birthday to ensure I don’t end up with the embarassing circumstance of having two of the same item.)<\/p>\n

\nMy Amazon wishlist sorted by priority (things I would like most at the top)<\/p>\n
