money is pretty tight this year ( No season ticket for me) so we did not buy any presents for adults just spent the usual on the kids.



Me and the wife had a £30 budget so i got a pair of thick welly socks for when walking the woof, some nice shaving gel and moisturiser, a good book Christian Camerons Marathon and 4 beers from the new micro brewery which has opened up down the road.

I bought Emma an incubator for the dragons' eggs and she got me an Ermenegildo Zegna Troffeo suit (brand new £15 from a charity shop)

We got each other a 2 week cruise to South East Asia, stopping at Singapore, Thailand, 3 stops in Vietnam and Hong Kong. This was an early Xmas pressie, we got back home on Xmas Eve....

Very nice.

Did you take your Saints wooly hat?

No, ever so slightly too hot.

Lump of cash towards my next tattoo, new plug for one of my piercings, books, choccy, biscuits... and a tin of hot dog sasages

Yummy.

I know.



But then I eat a lot of other too.



If I'm supposed to be impressed or worried then I'm not, something is going to kill me someday.

That's two of us then.



I shouldn't really criticise your hot dog fetish seeing as I'm a big doner kebab man after a few sherberts.



Four million shoppers at the Boxing Day sales apparently.

Fooking mentalists.

?

Nothing to be worried about with mechanically recovered meat, according to the same article (linked above) ...







Its protein, it all looks like sludge when it gets into your gut.





Anyway thats for the food thread, what did I get for christmas ?



A moleskine recipe notebook (bought it myself)

A hoodie (bought it myself)

Two t-shirts (bought them myself)



And, erm, thats it, I'm practicing for the day when I become a hermit.

Was in the pub yesterday and asked my mates lad what his dad had got him for Xmas.



'Four cans of Stongbow' says Wes, 'but my fooking dad had two of them'.



It made me laugh.
