I have promised her a paperback cop, but for now as she honeymoons in Sri Lanka, she has a Kindle version of “Life after the State” by my friend Dominic Frisby. You see the ex-GF is marrying a chap (the a’hole) from Euroland. And as such although she is innately conservative if not libertarian there is a danger that her mind will be contaminated by big Government nonsense and money tree worshipping. I cannot let that happen. I doubt that she will be reading Ayn Rand to her children but Dominic is a good start.
Big Government makes its folks less healthy, less wealthy and less happy. There is an alternative as Dominic explains in this wonderfully entertaining book. I would recommend it to all.

I guess in today’s complex world this is an increasingly common dilemma. We are still on very good terms, she knows that I think her husband to be is a complete arsehole but there is a mutual understanding that we do not discuss the numerous reasons why my assessment is correct. So what to give as a present? Since the wedding is in foreign parts and I have left it too late to ship anything that restricts my options.
On the occasion of his first marriage, my Uncle Chris was given by the late David Frost, a voucher to use with a divorce lawyer. As it happens that came in handy fairly soon afterwards. But I very much hope that this would be an unwanted and un-needed gift. As such it has to be an e-book ( with a promise of a hard copy later). Any ideas?
