Beau Peep Notice Board

Seeing that so many of us LOVE to get pressies at xmas I thought it would be nice if we pulled names and then come Christmas Eve (or the week before, depending how much of a life one has) we post photos of the thing(s) we would have liked to have bought for the person that was randomly picked for us.
Price is no object seeing this is virtual. For example if I had drawn Diamond Lil – I would have bought her a small pond (got a crew in to dig it) and a pair of beautiful swans – just because that is what I think she would like – so I would have googled a photo of swans on a pond and posted it on this thread for xmas (fairly simple eh – so don’t bugger it up).
I have taken the names from the list of members that have over 100 posts and they are listed below in that order – if you are gracing the forums with a rare visit over the hols and feel hurt and left out then I urge you to make more of an effort on your post count next year.
I cut up strips of paper from the member list and had my daughter draw the names so as to be fair.
If you are a bit concerned that the person who is supposed to get your name does not frequent the boards very often – I suggest that you send them a PM telling them of this virtual gift-giving scheme or frankly you won’t have a very merry Christmas.

I'm game. ;)

(Looks up manual to see how to post photos).
-
I could be completely wrong about this, but I always kind of assumed that Calypso and Feather were both the same person, being USA-based women. When Calypso stopped posting and Feather started soon after, I assumed it was just a forum name change, not a different account.
Anyway, this is my way of saying I didn't get anybody anything. Given that the "Calypso" account hasn't been active since 2008, I don't think she'll mind.

I always thought Calypso, Feather, peter and anyone else who was nice to Mince were people that he had made up. But if we let things like being imaginary characters get in way, that’s going to seriously scuttle this scheme.

I feel a little less guilty about the competition now.

Can I suggest an alternative gift-giving scheme, wherein you all chip in and raise enough money to buy me a yacht?
Much more fulfilling than finding google images, I'm sure you'll agree.

when do we post our pics of our presents?

Ideally Christmas Eve - but if you have turkeys to stuff or people to see then do it a few days early to get on with your real life preparations.

Sorry, I missed this yesterday. I suggest we meet you halfway...I would be willing to chip into the cost of a one hour's rental of a paddle boat - who else is game?

Do we pay for the oars too?

I'll pay for the "y".

There were some faults with this scheme such as people with high post counts that have not been here for years. And now poor Egg who has been trying to get his post count up is left out. I am so ashamed of myself. :(
Here is an addition to the names list – these are people with over 50 posts who have made a post sometime in 2012. I apologise to you all.
Calvin gets Bog
Elizabeth gets Calvin
Egg gets Elizabeth
Bog gets Egg
-
Egg can take my place, Diane.
Oh, yes, I am a real person and I did change my account from Calypso to Feather, Jack. I didn't really post here much and wanted to end the Calypso account. When I did decide to return for a bit, I went with "Feather," since that was my name on ButNot. Malc and Bill, had I gotten your names, I would have given you my avatar as my gift. :)

Oh good grief.
Vulture now buys for Egg
Egg buys for Mince
Feather is cancelled
Which changes the 50+ post club as follows…
Calvin gets Bog
Elizabeth gets Calvin
Bog gets Elizabeth
Oh hang on, Calypso also wanted to be cancelled so Calvin gets bumped up to the 100+ posts club and this leaves in the 50+ post club:
Elizabeth gets Bog
Bog gets Elizabeth
So Calvin will now buy for Peepmaster
And Jack buys for Calvin

FOR TOM

Oooooo-eeerrrrr! I'm in and now have to buy for Mince! :o
Could take a while!
-
Calvin's that ******** who keeps beating everyone (specifically me) on the quiz, right?
*Attempts to find pictures of a lobotomy*
That'll teach him. Or unteach him, rather.

I stopped playing because of him. Do you need someone to hold your surgical instruments while you carry out the operation?

Happy Christmas, Peter. I hope my computer skills don't let me down.
Computer...accept this file.
-
WOOHOO...It worked. I'm off to open a computer problems consultation company. ;D
-
Merry Christmas Mince! :P

Merry Christmas Malc!
Hope you like the ear muffs with built-in ear plugs for attaching to your MP3 player...thought it would be useful if you go on another training course which turns out to be a load of *!"£$%^&. Good photo, eh?
Well it is supposed to be "virtual" and my brother is not alone in forgetting how to insert an image.
Have a great time :)
-
For Calvin, obviously:

For Max, I'm giving you the day off from cooking by sending Jamie around to cook your meal...better stock up on bacon, he puts that on everything :-)

As I have to give something to the man who knows everything about Beau Peep, I have for Rob his very own shop.

Merry Christmas Rob!!
Oh! I also found a Beau Peep Body, not sure it would fit Rob, but the thought was there. ;D

Still getting over the flu so I haven't had time to get to the shops.
Coiln, I owe you a pint, mate.
Have a great Christmas, everyone, and thank you all for your continued support of this site. As I've said before, we're a small bunch....but it's a good 'un! Thanks again.

Due to technical difficulties some gifts are going to be a bit late.

Here's my gift for Madjock, (whoever he, or she is). I hope he (or she), is allowed chewing-gum. (I wasn't as a child, but my Mum lets me now.)

Just for Fyodor, as he previously said his Tardis was wonky.

As Diane likes creating things, and giving speeches, I thought this might be appropriate. (Get your own glue...)
-
For Egg - a new home!

-
For Jack - so you can join in with the raindeer games

I wish the bugger had shown up Diane, today I tried to cook a honey glazed ham, nearly 4 hours of effort for something that fell apart quicker than a 10p toy with nearly as much flavour.
Feeling betrayed by all the Gordon Ramsey, Hairy Bikers, Nigella and even Heston Bloominawful programmes I watched who all produced beautiful succulent hams that you could cut into wafer thin slices.
All my attempts to slice produced things which made a THUD as they hit the plate.
I threw the rest outside for the foxes, probably have the SSPCA charging me with cruelty. :-\
-
For Roger, to keep your golf sticks warm in the cold weather...

For Peepmaster and Lucy - you guys get to share a gift because I'm on dial-up internet and have to keep an eye on the turkey...

For Diamond Lil

For Billthehut...you get a week's rental of hut #5, might be a bit chilly - wrap up!

For Redundant, Zesty White, Tarquin Thunderthighs III, Joan, Vulture, Bog and Elizabeth...I found you all something in the Boxing day sales!

Max you'll have to try a spiral-cut ham - over here they sell them at Costco. They are brilliant - a packet of tasty glaze to go on is included and all sliced for you - really just a case of bunging in the oven for three hours and then looking like a real chef when you take it out.

If that's not enough, I do have a few spare used boxes around.

But where is it? And who do I get the key from. Does it have wi-fi Internet?
-
