Best and worst Xmas present this year?

Lego Caterham 😀

I’ve heard the other c word more times this morning than I have Christmas.

Clementines?

Crackers

@ Drac
Not clementines but the language has certainly been fruity 😉

Which watch Cougar?

There is no worse present after this.
I shall be purchasing an uni to go with it.

My wife re-wrapped a book she gave me last year that I haven’t read yet 🙂 I’m happy enough with that, we are doing a lightweight Christmas this year, I re-wrapped her running shoes that she bought a couple of months ago…

Happy Christmas everyone!

A pair of mudguards, a new track pump, a couple of wheelbags. Happy with that.
No bad presents.

Chunky… that Audi.

Details please.

I bought nothing ,I received nothing so all is good .Have drank scotch and beer and am eating curry in a caving hut with my wife without spending money on people I dont like

Best is a Lego pirate ship. That’ll keep me nicely occupied tomorrow after the little nephews have gone back home

Discovering I was my secret Santa (so no present

Best – HEADPHONES! Had broken old ones for last 12 months so not only total surprise but and am literally restless with excitement yet have to talk to ppl all day and night so deferred gratification is go!

Weirdest – Half a (used) hotel bottle-ette of ‘Lavender & Tea Tree Hair Wash’*

*Disclaimer – I have a grade zero haircut as have been bald for last 10 yrs.

Best: Wrist strap for controlling my BB-8, Haynes spitfire jigsaw, HebTroCo kecks and a (broken) bit of Vulcan XH588’s engines.

Worst. Crystal vase.

Mooer shim verb pedal. it is ace 😯

And a whisky tasting set, which is ace for different reasons

I tweeted that Putin Calendar thing earlier. I typically get say 200 or 300 views on any given tweet, that one now has 11,000 and climbing!

Gave my nephew a packet of sticking plasters after an hour of him looking disappointed and rechecking and even opening the box to see if I had hidden something good inside , I gave him a Swiss Army Knife . 30 minutes later he need the plasters.

Best. Having the hospital let the FiL out of hospital for the first time in six weeks to have Christmas dinner with us, one of the nicest blokes you could ever wish to meet. Worst. Having to take him back when he’d finished as he was only allowed out for four hours maximum. Kind of makes the rest of the gifts somewhat immaterial.

Best – Seeing Ton’s baubles.

New brakes from tthew, craft beer club subscription, massive tub of coffee, malt, all good really

A few books and some new pants , adventure time socks I’m quite chuffed with.

But my wife was very pleased with this gift she got me, also a big hint

Despite now having a garage I still end up doing my fettling in the lounge

Best: Being allowed to build a new shed (now referred to as the bungalow).

Worst: A burr coffee grinder that’s finest setting is so coarse you can’t even use if for French press. Any recommendations for a replacement suitable for a fine espresso bring would be most welcome.

What exactly does a wave form tail lights fade look like?

Best – Surly ICT that i bought myself last week

Worst – a t shirt from my step mother that says Br Ba as a periodic table equation ? had to google it – seems it is a breaking bad reference – which Ive never seen – and its 2 sizes too small !!

flash………you made my day sunshine. 😆

A tonne of gravel.

Bangin’

I have an entry – outlaws got me a copy of http://www.immediate.co.uk/brands/urban-cyclist/

Best – New Leatherman tool.
Worst – Shit plastic VR headset.

Worst – two Shit plastic VR headsets

Ooh two Spur bells there. Oh and that Audi!!

Best – Bottle of Talisker

2nd best – Bottle of Talisker

3rd best – Bottle of Talisker

Worst – Bottle of Talisker

Don’t get me wrong I like a drop of Talisker but a man likes a bit of variety in his drinks cupboard.

Best – an awesome Brumhaus print from my wife. And a lot of nice booze.
Worst – a generic black jumper that will neither fit or I will wear. Thankfully it included a gift receipt.

One present this year bought by me for me.
A Cannondale habit black – I like it ALOT

Best: 1/2 bottle of Chivas Regal. Never tried it before.

Worst: 3 hours in A&E on Christmas Eve with suspected heart problems. Turned out to be nothing, thankfully, but matched a couple of the symptoms of my dad’s recent heart attack (which he survived, thankfully)

Actually no, best would be the all clear from the above

@tuboflard: hope the old man is ok.

Best A jar of Marmite with my name on
Worst A jar of Marmite with my name on

I got a Quattro too. Flippin love it and it’s a replica of the original speed queen, Michèle Mouton. In true Group B style it goes like stink around the track. Best thing is the kids chose it themselves only under the guidance of finding something ‘a bit retro’ (I didn’t want a McLaren or DB9).

No worst for me as even the socks are cool.

@Harry_the_Spider

It’s by Otto, not cheap but large scale and very heavy! All metal.
