Did your loved ones come up trumps this year? I got some D.V.Ds, some socks and a Cheyenne arrowhead from the Little Bighorn that had been found in a 1920 archaeological dig. The socks are fawn! Bleh!

Fawn or ....... beige!!!!!!

I asked for Brad Pitt but got wine glasses, 'hot' socks (you put them in the microwave and they warm up your toes...) fingerless gloves and a gift card for ebay.
-
I got a ticket to see The Who here in Brisbane in March.
And baggy undies, which I'm happy about. You don't want to know why.

sore subject.

Roger, that Cheyenne arrowhead is one seriously mega-cool present, even to someone who doesn't quite share your passion for the subject. I hope you managed to come close with your choice of gift in return. And if you don't want the socks...
Both my best presents came a little early this year. My dear old mum helped fund my new iPhone, which more than lives up to all the hype, and Sam presented me with a magnificent roller banner, which I'm well taken with. If, like me until a few weeks ago, you have no idea what a roller banner is, let me show you...
It starts off like this...

...and within seconds becomes this...

Of course, mine didn't come with a free woman, as in the picture (I think that was the deluxe version), but it did have my very own design on it, which Sam cunningly managed to get me to complete for emailing to the supplier without giving too much of the game away. The print quality is exceptional, as is the overall product. I've already used it at a speed caricature gig in a shopping centre the weekend before last, and it proved to be very useful in attracting people to where I was plying my trade. Every roving minstrel should have one! It packs away again in seconds, and takes up very little boot space. Brilliant!
I also got athlete's foot spray in my Christmas stocking, because I've got...er..athletic feet.

Bizarrely, I'm actually going to be getting one of those very shortly myself, Steve! (For the other top secret venture I've alluded to recently). They are very compact and clever.
As far as pressies are concerned, I had several Wolves DVDs and Wolves books, some Wolves darts flights, a case of wine, ;D a rather smart shirt, after shave, a bottle of Irish whiskey, and a bottle of Jack Daniel's with a hip flask (for when I'm driving).
There are some other gifts awaiting me at my Mum's, down in Kent, from family members in that area, but I have to travel down to get them, as usual. ..0

Steve, that's a seriously good present from A very astute Woman.
Yet you still managed to complain about not having the DeLuxe woman in the ad. Oh Dear.
You need to read my latest book "How To Quit While You're Ahead, Idiot".
Like the De Luxe woman, it's a lovely little stocking filler.
-
I forgot to mention that though my books aren't available in bookshops, it will be possible to purchase them on McGookin Island.
-
Mince present to me must be really special as it has not arrived yet.
-
I got the complete series of All creatures great and small.

I hope you're not holding your breath, Peter!

Oh, I wasn't complaining, Malcolm, merely observing. I'm more than happy with the Super DeLuxe model I've had these past few years.
Here's a snap of how my roller banner would have looked, had it been the deluxe. Nige, it's a cracking device - you'll not regret it.
-
Come to think of it, that De Luxe model is nice but not THAT nice.
Love that banner, though.
I'm thinking of getting one now. Not for cartooning purposes, I might just get a large photo portrait of me on it and put it up in the living room to intimidate my wife's friends.

Don't you do that already.

Mince going home best present.

You realise you're not charged by the letter, don't you Peter?

;D

Short and happy

Look - Roger may not be 6ft, but come on...!

That made me laugh out loud.
