Title: Crimbo pressie ideas...
Post by: TheBoy on 13 December 2010, 21:44:40
She wants to know what to get me, I have no idea, so looking for inspiration.

So anyone got any good ideas?


The first tinker who mentions air fresheners will be banned.

If only I could ban you ;D

Not sure what air tools I'd use - got a couple of guns, have a rachet one as well.  Toyed with a saw, but was underwhelmed with yours that time we did an exhaust...

Got one. Actually, both Omegas have the built in NCDC one, million times better than TomTom.

Got TomTom on the gayPhone for those times I use the bike/Rover.

RC helicopters - got a mate whos into them, I wouldn't have the time sadly.


When I say mate, perhaps I should distance myself from him - he's now a male model :o  (his hand appears in a few TV ads, and his hand is on that Shell poster for their new fuels)
