I've just bought myself Gran Turismo for the PSP, a litre bottle of Ardbeg 10, 4 CDs and a whole load of vinyl records I've searching for for years.

socks
pants
slippers
books
possibly booze

A baby boy or Girl,

I don't like presents that don't come in boxes - so difficult to wrap.

All the best and prepare yourself for a new definition of tired.

I bought myself a pressure washer last night, apparently I’m not allowed to use it, it’s being wrapped, despite me knowing what it is and how much it cost…

I may order a gravity dropper and call it a pressie from the nipper, not sure if that’ll fly though…

I will definitely be getting socks, but I need them, all of mine are shagged…

Christmas isn’t really for me anymore, but it can still be used as an excuse for buying myself stuff…

I normally give the misses a long list of bike bits to choose from - this year I've left her to sort it herself; I'm looking forward to it more not knowing what I'm getting

Enjoying a suprise is hardly miserable behaviour...

Personally i have to say I like a nice suprise too, but since I'm a grown up now, my daughter gets to have all the fun and I just buy what I want (which normally means buying it myselft to avoid post xmas returns) practicality see...

Christmas is primarily for Kids, adults get time off work and food if they are lucky, pressies are an extra bonus, there's something about Jebus and some sheep or something in there too....
But it's mainly for the kids...

Hmmm... 🙄

maybe, just maybe.. a little surprise in your life may help fill that void you constantly seem intent on filling by hankering after [i]the next best thing[/i] simply to it show off to the world (of singletrack).. who knows? 😉

Merry Christmas!!

My parents are paying for me and my bro' to go boarding in Les Arcs. He's a bit strapped at the mo, so they paid for him, then thought it was only fair they paid for me too. Unreal. I'm still lost for words. Gotta make sure they get good presents this year.

Id like one, but they are going to be £1800 RRP i reckon, and it wont make me much quicker, defo not enough to justify the £1400 price difference anyway!

Probably nowt on the day- got a new watch a few weeks back which is going to be my present from the GF. Agreed with immediate family not to do presents this year, the last few years have had an air of unispired obligation about them from all sides, which struck us all as getting a bit pointless.
