Yes all that plus the Mega-flow electro-magnetic focal widget and rubber grip wank-ring. It’s gotta be the “superior”
Met up with an old friend I’d not seen in years yesterday. She’s moved up to Scotland and had had a few difficult years. We were chatting about christmas and she had only just become aware of the Cola Truck. She was pretty incredulous that grown people were excited about a red truck with lights and were talking about it being ‘traditional’.
Have to say this year I am struggling to think of things I want or what gifts to get for others. I am beginning to think we should just all do a secret santa in our family so I don’t have to buy 5 people presents. May be a proper bah humbug year.
The Greatest Christmas Gift someone could get for me would be saying “let’s not bother with presents this year.”
I don’t bother with presents, however the family/friends/missus still do. Win win for gavstar.
What’s wrong with you people?! Buying gifts for loved ones is a gift itself! It’s a beautiful thing! Goddamnyouall!
Watch not in the sale then bear?
Couldn’t agree more TMO, I love getting something nice for my friends and family, and even the missus i suppose, but I’d rather it came from me wanting to do something nice in the moment, rather than all the combined retailers (who have no ulterior motive other than spreading peace and love i’m sure) telling me it’s what I’m obliged to do at this time of year.
But it’s CHRISTMAS! You can ignore all the commercialised nonsense and still get a loved one a meaningful (and cheap!) gift. For me it’s possibly the only time of year nowadays that the whole family really gets a chance to get together properly and spend some quality time in each other’s company. Don’t get me wrong, about 4 hours in I’m wishing it was all over, but that dones’t mean I’d do it differently - and gift giving is an intengral part of that - it’s CHRISTMAS!
I should also add that as Christmas is a religious festival I don’t get involved as i’m not religious. Apart from eating loads and opening my first beer at 9am on Christmas day. Other than that I don’t get involved. And watching Gremlins. Those 3 things are allowed because they aren’t technically exclusive to christmas.
Irish citizenship - whilst Mum’s still with us.
So might switch my cajon request for a bodhran.
Oh Danny boy…the drums, the drums are ca-a-alling.

It ain’t cheap - just to get citizenship is gonna be about €300 for over 18’s and that’s before the price of a passport for grandkids, but if you have an Irish parent then I think you are automatically a citizen and can go straight to getting a passport…Sláinte
That’s not right.
You have to also watch one of The Great Escape, Home Alone or Die Hard.
The only good things about christmas are all having a bit of time off together, watching kid goat open her presents and getting plastered by midday.
Everything else is a bit meh.
The trick to a successful xmas day is to time your alcohol intake so that you pass out by 7pm and are oblivious to the family getting on each others nerves. Then waking up on boxing day and asking why no one is talking to each other.
You let Kid Goat drink on Christmas Day
She has to get over the disappointment somehow.
…and a Saints Clapper…as the guy who sits infront of me has become well aware.
Nintendo Switch, especially now that Mario game has landed.
