You clearly need nowt, so make a nice donation to someone who does 🙂

That's what I do at Xmas & birthday, ask for charity donations in lieu of pressies.

Funnily enough that's what prompted this thread

Herpes

Too late

Nice dry weather and not too cold, so plenty of cycling.

In that case, cat AIDS. The good sort, of course.

In an unexpected bout of seriousness in what is turning out to be a humorous thread (mainly because loads of folk are asking what I want) I don't want 'stuff' for Christmas. In my 29 3/4 years I have amassed all the 'stuff' I need/want. What I want for Xmas is experiences, that turn into memories. Nights out/day trips etc that don't necessarily cost a lot (I'd even pay for them, the gift is people's time) but I will enjoy/remember for a lot longer than socks/ties/pants.

Failing that, a voucher for the local gentlemans club will do nicely, thanks grandma.

I've told the wife if I don't get a Lego Millenium Falcon I'm not speaking to her until July.

As a backup I've told her I want a new camelback or some knee pads*

* because I know damn well I'll end up buying the Lego for myself.

A day the same as last year - dry, bright, empty roads and over 300 miles of nice fast road riding on the 1400 ...
Even had an unmarked car give me the "thumbs up" and a wave on 🙂

Why not just come out and ask your girlfriend is she wants a threesome or she may not get the hint.

Wave on your way past! It's just down the road. Haven't been yet, but it looks superb.

I'm getting a winter skills/mountaineering course. Generally prefer to buy 'stuff' for myself but I like experiences as presents.

I got told I can't have a GoPro so I've got to think of something else. I'll probably just get the usual bottle of whisky.

My wifes got me some new snowboard goggles, I know this as I took delivery of them on Monday after I sent her a link to the ones I wanted on last Friday!!

Can't think of anything else I want, not even anything for my bike*!!

*Obviously I could think of stuff for my bikes, but £300 on new brakes is not gonna happen!

@chewkw - i haven't had a proper shave in 13 years, don't fancy starting now

@huckleberryfatt - i might get him a bar of chocolate from sainsburys

@grum - me and the bro-in-law have promised each other a day with either Jedi or the bearded one depending on which end of the country we can arrange it

I'm really hard to buy presents for because i generally just buy whatever I actually want

Coke and hookers is looking increasingly more likely and a throwback to my early 20's*

*only joking(ish)as i'm sure the GF wouldn't approve

This has shown me what I want for Xmas.

I've asked my family to buy one of those bikes for Africa from the front page. I don't need anything, and otherwise they'll just waste money buying me tat.

Or none, but engineer a threesome anyway with no recriminations afterwards

I was hoping for coke and hookers one year and was disappointed. I ended up with Pepsi and a prop forward.

As usual I will specify that I want nothing. As usual people won't believe I mean that. So they'll buy me stuff I don't want.

And still I'll feel guilty and indebted.
