What’s my budget?
There’s lots of things I fancy but little I can afford.

A FS Ebike, a decent camera with a BIG fat lens maybe.
Can’t think of much else really.

Some one has damaged a couple of the leather seats, with zips on the back of bike shorts, in the camper. They are beyond a decent repair, so rather than mess about I'd have them recovered.

A moat.
Given I live mid terrace I'm not sure my neighbours would appreciate it.

World supply of Lindor

**** me. So you're the person that eats the bloody things.🤮

I swear that there's about a dozen boxes of Lindor that get constantly passed round from birthday to Christmas to dinner party around South Manchester They're about 20 years out of date but it doesn't matter as nobody would dream of opening the ****in things. They just repack then and send them onto the next poor sucker.

Tell the truth, genuinely, do you actually like them?

If you were buying a gift for yourself at Xmas…..

I bought myself a pair of Loake McCauley Brown Oiled Nubuck Chelsea Boots (£145 on sale), the most expensive shoes I paid for in my life and a Chinese iron ladle (£5.50 from Chinese supermarket) like this .

What I really want is a house ...

Yes, I like Lindor. They are nicer in the fridge, but I'll take any I can get.

If I'm buying it myself probably an AXS upgrade kit

I’d buy myself the cure for Covid…
…then I could share it with the world.

Failing that I’d take a man garage with a pillar car ramp and that Porsche in the picture above.

That's what new bikes are for right?

They are so delicious, I could hoover down a box or two of them on my own no problem if it wasn't for my incredible self control. Off downstairs now to grab a few. All versions are so yum but the salted caramel ones are outstanding.

Motivation.

Failing that, probably a Fender Jazz Bass.

I'd like my shoulder to work properly again.
18 months on and it still hurts.

Hmm, some of my top of the list items here already,  new knees and solitude would have to be seriously considered.

Probably new knees as that would facilitate the solitude.

The other options are talent (any at all would do), a new lower back maybe. If were going materialistic,  and Transition Spur would be nice.

+1 for liking Lindor. Much better than Quality street and their ilk

All I want for Christmas is no snow at work this winter

A house in the Pyrenees. Superb road riding, enough mtb to keep anyone happy. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter with enough skiing for me.
Dowside would be 2hr drive to windsurfing beaches
But yeah, happy with the things i own already so a new location and a nice french lady would be great
Just need to find £200k down the back of the sofa

A few years ago I asked my kids to get me a Wenger Ueli Steck swiss army knife as there was one for stock in Europe, and gave them the link to it...

Well they didn't get it so when one appeared for sale two years later it was my present to myself.
