Steel bike container for the garage to prevent the thieving scumbags, a trip to centre parcs and a merino jumper.
I'm going to 1x10 from a well worn 3x9 so looking forward to some post-Christmas crisp shifting.
This year I didnt get out-bid at the Rugby Club charity auction and so I bought Mrs Stoner (and I 🙂 ) a Land Rover Driving experience at Eastnor. Should be a laugh.

Probably be lingerie and some perfume. Cant think of anything I need for the bike apart from some 15mm adaptors for my Rovals, don't think even Santa will find them. Will be getting a late pressie at the end March when the camper van is due.
i really want some hen's teeth but apparently they're quite hard to get hold of?

They're in the same aisle as rocking horse sh*t 😉
Probably a few beers/socks etc. from the in-laws but that will be about it. But Christmas will mark the end of a very high workload so I'm mainly looking forward to a break and the chance to start getting out on the bike again.
Might treat myself to a new helmet though...

Pissed.
In that order.

My wife is getting me a Garmin Forerunner 220 as my ancient 305 is near death.
Good choice - I like mine.

planet-x bibs. Hmm. Yay?
No idea. But this will be my first Christmas not working in six years, so almost stupidly excited about actually being home.
Heart rate monitor, Dave's Insanity Sauce, Port and a new gym bag.
(I hopes)
An Xbox. It is of course officially mini-aracer's present, but then I won't be getting anything exciting (probably not anything much at all), he goes to bed before me and I've never had a games console 😉
Can't think of anything less than £1k so sweet FA
Got a new Cx bike which was my christmas pressie. I daresay there will be a few wee things inc some whisky.

A pair of Ray-ban's from the wife and I bought me a OnePlus phone just as I like shiny. Also, some new brake pads and discs being fitted to the car tomorrow - giving the gift of stopping!
Divorced. Merry Christmas.
I've made a mental Christmas list - top of that list is Peace and Quiet - but hey we all know Santa ain't real ..
Kids so we can have first choice on the annual leave rota
Maybe a new job.
My wife's bought me an AVI-8 Hurricane automatic watch for Xmas, she was so excited she couldn't stop herself from showing me.
I'm a happy lad.
[i]What[b]'[/b]s everyone getting for [b]C[/b]hristmas thread[/i].
I have received unemployment for Xmas. Yay!
This will be the only [i]gift[/i] I receive for Xmas.
Merry Christmas, members of the STW forum, each and every one of you.
Well at least your off.
All I want is electricity. Last Christmas at the folks was a 7day powercut so just an open fire and no central heating pump. Spent most of the time servicing a generator and sorting the contents of 3 warm freezers out and cutting logs.
This year just want to doze on sofa watching trash TV after being fed and watered.
Nothing material
We're off to Tenerife for a couple of weeks instead of spending money on normal Christmas stuff

Nice spelling there, and to think, [i]they[/i] put such types in charge of the big red button. Posts such as these are great, they completely undo all the [i]good[/i] one would have others think they do for a day job.
Of course, this won't bother those who aspire to appear omnipotent, as part of their journey to complete narcissism.....
I suppose it could be worse, it could have been the racist, big cat's turn to watch the masses, tonight. Notwithstanding the all seeing, four eyed, chinless one's prerogative to rescue us from ourselves, at any given moment.
Well, seeing as its Christmas, give me a few minutes to change my e-mail address, so that I can at least receive your personalized [i]notes[/i] before you throw the switch, again.
🙂

Yeah my dyslexia comes out more when I'm tired.
It's my macabre humour that comes from work, used it with a colleague who had a heart attack last week that very same line. He found it hilarious, I guess he gets it.
