What to do on Father''s Day

Father''s Day is still the poor relation of Mother''s Day ? perhaps because you get into more trouble for forgetting the latter. Here are a few ideas for providing a memorable Father''s Day for the old man.

Football may be largely a televised spectacle these days, but there is nothing quite like witnessing the delirium induced in grown men by the beautiful game first hand ? for that special Father''s Day gift, why not try getting tickets for the game?

All well and good for those with an efficient social calendar, but if just remembering that Father''s Day exists is a personal best this year, you are unlikely to get organised enough to secure tickets in time. Take the next best option, and secure a seat in the pub for the big game.

If sloping off to the pub doesn''t suit the rest of the family, how about a meal out? Again, the pub can often come in handy for making this an affordable option ? and you might get the chance to watch some live sport!

Dragging our minds from the pub just for an instant, remember that quality boozing can be achieved right in the comfort of your familial home. Get the recipe books out, and then burn some steak in the kitchen ? it''s the thought that counts.

If the weather behaves, remember that that steak is perhaps best burnt outside ? why not indulge in the proud masculinity of a barbecue on Father''s Day?

Rules vary between families, but if another man ? even you - touching your Dad''s barbecue is akin to the perpetration of some heinous sexual crime, have a look online at sites like Not on the High Street for some BBQ toys to assist the pater familias in meat burning on Father''s Day.

If he plays, the game of golf is a goldmine of slightly useful gimmickry for that not-too-expensive present for Father''s Day ? after all, you have to leave some ideas for birthday and Christmas presents.
