Well. Yesterday I got a delivery from Tescos of something I haddunt ordered. Plastic bayg over what was the same shape and size of a box of cereal. Sounded like a box of cereal to, on shaking.

Most odd, I thought, as I've never ordered owt from Tescos, don't even shop there tbh. Proper addressed to me and everything though.

Thought it might be some sort of promotional gimmick, so put it down on the side intending to open it later, as I was in the middle of getting a cup of tea when it arrived. Forgot all about it.

Remembered it this morning, so went to open it. Why would Tesco personally send me a box of cereal?

Imagine my surprise and sheer delight on discovering that it was in fact this:

What a result, eh? 😀 A proper touch.

I don't know who sent it, although I have my suspicions. It could well even be someone off here!

All I can say is I'm proper chuffed and very grateful. 🙂

Yeah right. It's probably contaminated with ricin as part of an elaborate and dastardly deed by someone who hates him.

You're just jealous cos no-one sends you surprise Star Wars Legos.

Maybe if you were nice, like me, you might get such things.

In the unlikely event that someone is reading this and thinking about sending me something that is the same shape and size of a box of cereal and that sounds like a box of cereal on shaking... make sure it's a box of cereal, eh?

RE: OP

I always used to shake my Christmas presents when I was younger to check whether they were Logo or not. Now my sister packages up boxes of cereal for me for Christmas and I shake them thinking they are Lego 🙁

This angers the crowd even further, and violence escalates:

Emsz and Karinofnine - do I detect a lack of surprise presents for girls ... surely this is a bad case of sexism? 😆

With the government brought to it's knees by such widespread civil unrest and general chaos, including financial collapse, sadly certain elements use this as an opportunity to sieze power, and sweep aside the oppsition by using lies, treachery and spreading fear and hatred:

And I think we all know how this story ends...

Not sure I should resurrect this thread given its descent into Nazism but what the hell (inevitable given Godwin's Law)

Did anyone who has the calendar get what they should have on day 7?

The picture looks like some tools and Chewie's bowcaster but all we got is some fairly unexciting black and grey bits.

I have got lots of extra bits in mine, day 7 was what looked like a dustbin with tools and a crossbow.
Just waiting for the GF to get home and open days 8 and 9 for her lego city calendar so I can open my star wars one

It's a bit small for the X-Wing pilot what was in yesterday's window though. No wonder he looks a bit miffed.

@dogbert - The advent calendars are usually £20. As soon as people start panicking about getting them the price rockets on Amazon and Ebay.

But you do get a Father Xmas Yoda.

That's £40 of anyone's money.

Is it wrong to run about the house with the tiny X-Wing Fighter, making spaceship noises?

LOCK X-FOILS IN ATTACK POSITION!
