Secret Santa Reveals


Recommended Posts

Posted

Once you have opened your AS secret santa you can reveal the contents on here.

 

It will save confusing the sent/received thread in case we have issues with stuff going missing.

Well, mine was already open as the envelope had split a bit and it was put in a Royal Mail plastic bag. It was also delivered by my brother who is now a posty!

 

It's a print-out of a post I made back in October about how I really don't want another Punto, plus...

I've got to pull some magic out of the bag.... bought something on ebay for my victiiiiiii.i..i...i mean lucky recipient, of course this is the one and only time I get shafted and Lazy McDawdleface can't get it to the post office on time so looks like I'm busting out the budget and paying for first class delivery when it does arrive!

Mine arrived today, I'm sure my cats will like the toys and I really love the candle! The WD40 and the torch will come in handy as well.

I'm so tempted to whip mine open but I can resist until the correct day, cara dog keeps going and investigating the parcel and nudging it which has me more intrigued

If they are open then share - nice to see what people have got.

When are you collecting it then? Is that a dealer brochure too?

I got one of these, complete with accessories. No pic because it's somewhere else right now and no clue who sent it or why because factory reset.

 

I don't remember asking for a small arm powered Linux box but ta anyway!

I've not even posted mine off so apologies. I've had family/work matters but I shall hopefully do tomorrow

I found a fair few abandonware skins for Windows ce that I loaded onto an old Garmin. Was quite cool in a pointless, obselete kind of way! You just loaded them onto the SD card in a certain order and it booted from it

Arrived back today to a card from Postman Pat saying I need a trip to the local sorting office.

 

Either, it's some shit I bought from fleabay that's been on a slow boat from China, or.....

 

Saying that, they gave me a receipt for the shite I posted, after the thumb screws were used to find out what was in it. No, it isn't a drone going to Gatwick ......

My late wife had one of those torches in her handbag.

She used it to read the Menu in those posh Restaurants with candles and no lights.

It wasn't the slowboat from China it was this.

 

Currently under the tree...

Not sure about the taste in wallpaper used to wrap it though. Xmas day will reveal.

Opened mine last night with some assistance* from a child that wouldn’t go to bed.

 

Pleased to find it’s a model of a working internal combination engine.

Nice change that I’ve got an engine starting out in bits as opposed to a working one that I end up with in bits :)

Wonder if the manual is written with the usual HBOL levels of clarity.

It'll just be a small scrap of paper with 'reassembly is the reverse of removal' written on it and a trollface

Much excitement for Dippy today as this arrived, 4 more sleeps for me though till I open it.
