Thanks for my gifts @booyaka i'll open them shortly and get some pics up after lunch later today

Merry Christmas chaps, and thank you Santa for your lovely gifts.

I had a pre-Christmas present, which unfortunately I opened when I received as it just had my name on it. Very funny

@randomshenans

There’s a clip on guitar tuner which will be very useful and some vegan beer(love the sombrero guy), which probably won’t see Boxing Day. Much love!

Confusingly this was reversed wrapping paper so I could see wrapping but it was like on the inside...anyway!

Awesome

if anyone knows about the beer I'd love to hear about the breweries.

Now come on @Vidar it's about time you opened yours!

Oh wow, you’re up early! I expect that picture to be up, framed, in your living room!

I hope you’ll find the tuner useful, my bass playing elf said it would be very useful!

As for the beer, they are two local breweries. Dookit is the name of the buildings that racing pigeons fly to and from, and in Glasgow where men will just go and hide and do men things. The brewery only opened last year but make some great stuff.
Overtone are also in Glasgow, but much bigger. Make heaps of great beers. IIRC, you got ‘Weegie’ which means someone from Glasgow. And if you’re opening beer at 8am I suppose you’re definitely a weegie!

Merry Christmas!

Yeeeeeah we’ll see about that. It’s such an awkward size I don’t know if I’d ever find a frame you know. But such is life.

Thanks very much dude, and great to hear about the local breweries.

From what I can tell from the Christmas Spirit thread, if anyone’s a weegie it’s you!

mushtafa · 25 Dec 2021 at 09:19

Many thanks Santa! Just a few Haribo!

EDIT: Thanks valve90210 - Merry Xmas!

booyaka · 25 Dec 2021 at 09:54

Cracking haul - Sweets for days, seasonings for days, Whiskey and an inspired pair of Marc Rebillet boxer shorts!!!! Absolutely first class find!!! Love them.

Thanks @LuckyBenski - Top work!

TwsT · 25 Dec 2021 at 10:10

cheers santa,

the coffee is delicious

bledd · 25 Dec 2021 at 10:42

Thanks Santa! Also had a load of Lindt balls in the main box, they were all consumed upon opening

Doggo will be super happy with his gifts too!

dirtychinchilla · 25 Dec 2021 at 10:47

That chocolate porter looks terrifying

Too Tall · 25 Dec 2021 at 11:08

Thanks very much @Greebo really appreciate it.

I'll make use of the glass today and I've heard great things about exploding kittens!

The cat has decided he is no longer interested.

Who do you think you're fooling

Edit: dunno what's going on at Imgur, image won't work :confused:

LuckyBenski · 25 Dec 2021 at 12:28

Thanks Secret Santa, original package was lost in post but the emergency replacements really delivered!

Blue bonbons - forgot just how much I love these, brings back memories. I'm already grabbing a second before putting the lid back. They'll last til maybe Tuesday

Extra fancy truffles, these are immensely tasty. Very much into posh chocolate right now so well appreciated.

ABBA gold - obviously going to be absolutely full of great tunes and my girlfriend is already excited to play it on the drive to her parents! I got us tickets for the show next year so perfect timing to get this CD in circulation.

And a gift of Dead Rising, the OG title, which I have been itching to replay soon. Perfick

All in, that was some epic stalking, especially considering the last minute replacements. Well chuffed with this haul. Thanks @Maccy

Dyson · 25 Dec 2021 at 12:31

Merry Christmas all, not yet got toy prezzies but wanted to pop in. Not going to check the list until after I've opened, keep up the suspense...

Hope my SS likes the gifts I sent, there's thought in each one. Hopefully they make sense lol

Excellent, you're very welcome! Enjoy the food bits - it's becoming a tradition to gift my latest snack obsessions

Hope the boxers fit, they're no gold hotpants but they're something!

You're welcome, yeah I figured they would be

I found the stout by accident I suspected it would be awful so I grabbed a couple of Christmas themed beers from two of my favourite brewery's to hopefully redeem it. northernmonk make some terrific stouts and porters, and thornbridge Cocoa Wonderland is my go to I fancy a porter.

I won't have them today, taste buds already in overload from the mix of beers/wine/fizz and food

I'll enjoy them another day

you are very welcome. You were really tough to buy for, glad you put a pint glass on your list! All your posts on this forum is just buying and selling pc stuff.

I have heard great things about the exploding kittens game, hope you enjoy. It’s the NSFW version though

Vidar · 25 Dec 2021 at 15:41

Thank you so much everyone, I will get pics uploaded as soon as I get to my laptop as I'm struggling on my phone.

Just want to say though that you guys have really made my Christmas memorable this year. My gifts have really put a smile on my face, particularly the C64 as have so many fond memories of that as a kid. The Christmas sack was awesome too, as was everything else.... not the tinsel though that exploded everywhere lol
