Impossible round here, they'd nick the bike and leave the necklace.

Not much this year as we've just moved house But I do know I've got a
Tech 7 46 litre top box (because I bought it for myself). Mind you I'm
wishing I'd spentthe money on heated grips at the moment

 

Gyp tried that one a while ago and failed.

 

Nice plan.
I get to buy a new kitchen. I suspect some Theo Fennel cufflinks may be
lurking under the tree somewhere.

I'd be interested in what you get. The only ones I can find so far are
stupid costly.

I'll actually be buying the car next year and sneaking mine next to it.

Your verdict?

Not bad at all. Only used it twice in anger so far, once in car mode and
once in pedestrian mode. Not explored the 2D v 3D display yet. It always
creates track files in OVL (TomTom) format that you can convert to KML
for import to Google Maps.

Haven't got it working with a bluetooth headset yet, mainly because I
have mislaid mine, but I'm not sure that you can (works fine with the
wired headset).

So will I. It's actually my folks who are buying this[1], and my Mum
usually has a good eye for things like that as well as exercising
budgetary restraint. Will let you know.



[1] Anya got me the aftershave. It's about 1000x more expensive than
petrol per litre! Impressive for scented piss.

Cool - what model?

a canon thingymebob, when I remember (when unwrapped) I'll let you know

 

There's a parcel in the mail somewhere between 2481 AUS and UB8 UK.
Mum didn't tell me what I bought her this year, tho' she did recently ask
if I'd buy her a bottle of Scotch. Apparently Teacher's is $35 at the mo.

My missus bought me some custom silicon ear plugs. I bought some for her for
being so thoughtful.

Confirmed and assembled. And ball-bearing drawers lovingly opend and
shut, again and again.

Now where to put it? It is precisely one inch too wide to fit in the
space beside the racking, which is bolted to the wall....

Other noteworthy presents: the Haynes Manual for Wallace & Gromit's
Cracking Contraptions and a radio-controlled Sopwith Camel.

Dunno what to make of my one present so far.

Books, balsamic, olive oil, posh honey, Hotel Chocolat stuff.

Just put the beef rib roast on and made some Bucks Fizz.

Lovely.

 

Yes, enough about what your wife got, what did you get?

 

did you get to Hereford?
