You shouldn't need underwear make you feel special bear. Just head out the door without any[thing] on and you'll see from the looks you get just how special you are.

A P47 thunderbolt, radio controlled aircraft. To add to the other planes I don't have space for or have time to fly.

@stewartc - you've clearly been a very good boy this year then 🙂

I bought myself a fenix 3 Sapphire. It's what I should have bought before buying a TomTom Spark and then a Vivoactive HR+! Three rides and one run so far and it's absolutely fab. Best thing is I can actually blooming read it with my lenses in...

A box of Di2 bits to replace the stuff I pinched from the race bike to put on the winter bike. And there's a new fancy turbo trainer on the way to my LBS too.

@alex I dont treat the Naughty or Nice list as arbitrary when treating myself.
Those Fenix3 look nice, sadly no reason to upgrade my 2 yet.

Hmm. Not got myself anything for Xmas, but I'm still probably cashing in on my new Hoyt bow and risers from my birthday last month.

The walk up a mountain on my own on boxing day was probably my favourite treat to myself this season.

I did the Kickstarter thing for the Silca T-Ratchet and Ti_Torque kit. And it arrived just before Christmas. Its very nice to play with. I've taken all my carbon bits off and re-installed them just to play with it.

Di2 on a winter bike? Bah, that beats the P2M crankset on mine. Now, where did I put those spare SRAM Red bits?

Di2 on a winter bike?

Makes a lot of sense as it still shifts perfectly even when a bit filthy. And after a summer of Di2 going back to the old mechanical 105 that was on there was a bit rubbish.

Love those Silca ratchets up there. Very tempted myself.

A nice metal spoon to replace the plastic one that I've been using to tamp coffee. Amazing the difference it makes.

Got myself a new turbo trainer when the old one stopped letting me change resistance. The gift of winter fitness.

A ridiculous indulgence of a cassette remover. But it's so tactile that even the wife likes playing with my (new) tool.

@Merak normally it would be best part of £5k but I've thrown in the bike so the restoration job is £2.5k. The bike cost me £1k.

An old XJ 250?

Looks lovely, not overly quick IIRC but way better than the Superdream of the same era.

Not jealous, nope.

Set of 7 drum mics, three mic stands and seven XLR cables. I think I need one extra stand.
But that Epiphone Thunderbird bass down there is looking tempting v

Picked up a Panasonic GX80 with kit lens, should arrive tomorrow. Hoping it will reignite my passion for photography (and hopefully ignite a new one for video) beyond Instagram pictures of buildings from odd angles.

I got a drawing of lots of bits of very special bendy shaped titanium tubes, which are being turned into frame forks and bullmoose bars all ready for early 2017

Waiting for satan as a child was never as bad as this
