  • What do I want for my birthday present?

    I have no f***** idea and the wife is asking what I want.

    Don’t want/need anything for the bikes. Or hiking/camping kit.
    If I was still in the middle of building a house then a nail gun or chisel set would be on the list, but not any more. What with all the building work I haven’t really considered a treat for me for over a year.

    Inspire me. What’s on your wish list? Let me pinch your imagination, mine’s gone to sleep.

    I have a wee bit of cash lying around from my birthday the other week.

    It is going towards a ski-touring setup.

    But part of me really, really wants a Nespresso machine…

    A time machine to go back to the 1950’s and make a couple of long-term investments – 1957 Gibson Les Paul, Volkswagen Splitty, etc bring them back and make an absolute killing.

    I asked the same a week or so ago – best suggestion was a skills day I reckoned.

    jimster – Id just take a substantial amount of firepower, persuasively acquire a shed load of gold, bury it as treasure trove, then come back to the future and “find it”.

    VW camper people, always thinking small scale eh? 😉

    Hot Air Ballon trip sounds wicked, but maybe not this time of year cos it’s proper bastard cold.

    aha. Thanks you lot, youve done your job and inspired me.

    I had a very frustrating time of it trying to self launch my Flexifoil 6 in high winds on a Norfolk beach this weekend. Managed to birdsnest my brand new flying lines that replaced a set that broke after a tangle last time out.

    So I shall ask for a trainer day to learn how to self-launch properly and new set of lines here very close to me:

    New RC car, that’s what I want. Or a quadcopter.

    Kite looks quite a laugh, though.

    I was thinking about asking for a little indoor RC helicopter for flying around the barn.

    Might still treat myself…

    who just asked for you to get an extension cable?

    No, just me. Lack if time to do anything and lack of funds (or lack of enthusiasm to spend what funds I have) means I am asking for it as a present – I may as well ask for something I need rather than something that I don’t.
