It's coming...and I'm not a fan. I do like sending out cards and giving gifts. Seldom get any back and it doesn't bother me. But every year I buy myself a little something. And it's always something I yearn for but don't need at all...so this year I have ordered these... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363279631545www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385145766836Might be adding to this with another visit to Norbo's shop...

I’m not a fan either - an exercise in mass consumer gullibility if you ask me….
This year my lot have decided on a secret Santa with a £100 limit which I’m content with. It’s all adults in the group and it’ll save a lot of unwanted crap being bought.
I’ve asked for a tyre for my LC2. 🎅

I buy all the cool tools Ive been eyeing up all year and then let the family give me some of the money and on the day I get to open them up as presents. Works for me, has done for years.

I won't be buying or sending any presents to me or anybody. I won't be eating turkey or any other meat.
I recognise this "festival" is not celebrated by everyone and that some may find it offensive.
I believe that doing so sends out the wrong message in our inclusive society.
Miserable b*****ds deserve the same respect in this inclusive society....

There’s a guy near me does good quality leather repairs - he replaced the zip in my jacket a while back. Did a good job.
I can share his details if you want.

Had an email saying your Royal Mail parcel has been delivered. Even had a photo of said parcel but no clue as to where it is. No one rang my doorbell or knocked so I checked outside, nothing. Checked out back, nothing. Asked neighbours, nope. Went back inside to contact RM about this when I heard a van. Inside was a RM chappie with a parcel that looked like the one in the photo...and it was. I asked him why he said it was delivered when it clearly wasn't but he understood not one word of English. Maybe all you need to work there is a sat nav? Anyway it was my xmas pressie...  These things are amazing. Over a foot long and very heavy. The attention to detail is spot on and even the wheels turn with the steering wheel! I am very happy. Alex |

You know me all too well. Did that transformation years ago. Dinki-Di is my preferred choice but road kill is quite palatable. Still a heart throb but only in my imagination...

I shit you not! And you really need an anorak.... not a tin of pedigree chum, tasty as they are, they are dearer than a tin of stewed steak, which makes them a premium product for rich people, which is why veg suggested it..... |

Beyond anorak. Kagoules? Pah. And I spit on parkas. As all who really know me I am a total nerd about somethings. Films and film memorabilia and sci fi. Glad I have them and less cost than a set of rear sets...

Tickets to Goodwood festival of speed for me and my lad
I’ve got more than enough bikes and stuff in my life and just think it’s more important to do things than have things.
