It was my happy birthday yesterday. 🙂

awesome. How old are you?

you got a boy for your birthday…..?
🙂
enjoy the lego…..

I’m 32. That’s my son. He’s claiming that as ‘ours’ now.

Please tell me you bought it yourself, otherwise it seems massively unfair that wives that understanding really exist…

Last Christmas my son and I got the Lego campervan as a joint present – lots of quality father/son time building it.

ah, i genuinely thought that was a picture taken from original marketing materials – Glib ‘STW style’ comment FAIL! 😳

He’s claiming that as ‘ours’ now

– only if he can build it without assistance….

Please tell me you bought it yourself, otherwise it seems massively unfair that wives that understanding really exist…

I’m afraid my wife bought it for me, and my eldest hid it under his bed all week, and gave it to me at 6:30 yesterday morning whilst I was in bed 🙂

Lego is **** brilliant. 😀

I got a massive Lego Space Shuttle from my wife for my 33rd birthday. It took two evenings to complete it. My boy ain’t getting anywhere near that set until he’s got a mortgage or a PhD or something.

*usurps OAP*

No, this is the best present ever. Christmas this year. 8)

I love Lego too but this is my best present ever…

My old trials gloves. Never worn since 1980 something. Didn’t know where they were till I opened a Xmas pressie off my Mrs, 2 years ago.
Ace.

Cool that probably means I’m not too old at 35…

wipes away tear

shows wife thread 🙂

This thread has just made me realise that I’m now 33 though. Bugger

There’s a lot of ace gifts in this thread…you lucky, lucky barstewards.

Christmas this year.

I hate you.

(-:

I suppose the slight advantage to being 40 is that I can* buy my own Lego.

* if my wife and daughters allow me to 🙁

I think my present this year is to go up to Scotland for a few days to do a triathlon. Can’t wait 🙂

Lego is great, Star Wars not so much, but esselgruntfuttock’s gloves are absolutely ace!

Mrs. stavro got me a trial light aircraft flight for crimbo 7 years ago. What a buzz, the only way I can descibe it, is trying to sail a dinghy, ride a bike and push a Morrison’s trolley at the same time

so you got a pair of your own 19yr old gloves that you cant wear as a gift.

😕

When i was young I used to start with the small presents and build up to the big ones. One year I was left with a large rectangular present that I thought was either a boardgame or a jigsaw puzzle. Imagine my dissapointment when I unwrapped it to find a 750g box of Kellogs Crunchy Nut Cornflakes!
I could have avoided this letdown if I had looked at my little brothers pile. He had already opened a box of Frosties. True story.

so you got a pair of your own 21yr old gloves that you cant wear as a gift.

If I have to explain it, your’e obviously far too young to even begin to understand.
Have you any memories? (that may give you a clue)

your’e obviously far too young

Been a few years since anyone has said that to me. 😳

That’s an awesome present essel!! Have you shown us that pic before, sure I’ve seen them in a thread a while back?? I always feel a bit let down by the pressies I get my wife as she comes up trumps every bloody year for mine.. Must try harder!!!! 😐
Got to come up with something special next yr as its her 40 th!!

I think It’s past your bed time young man.

Every four year old needs 80ft of track and 22 cars. Fact.

Wife got me a 456 for my 40th.

Best present ever 🙂

I was trying to remember where I’d seen those gloves before and it’s just come to me – didn’t they have a starring role in the OJ Simpson trial? 🙂

Wrightyson, take her to New York, job done.

matt_outandabout i think i just had a slight accident when i saw your lego millenium falcon 😳 🙂 both the lego mf and x wing are fab 😀

Every four year old needs 80ft of track and 22 cars. Fact.

And a can of Fosters. Apparently.

Especially the fosters.

Wife got me a 456 for my 40th.

That’s a mean way of telling you she wants a divorce….. 😉

Yey. It’s my birthday again.

Dogfight double!

IMG_0793 by Bigdaddy 1974, on Flickr[/img]Awesome!!! I am in a similar fortuitous position, that for the last couple of years my wife and kids have bought me technic lego sets for birthday and christmas – I now have the motorised recovery truck, the fighter jet and dune buggy. Great family time jointly building them, although it is clear they are MINE!

Indeed the best presents ever… (oh and happy birthday!)
