Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;

My favourite Xmas toy as a child has to be this:
Started watching wrestling in March / April 1991 and got some action figures in the April for my birthday, but had to wait until the Xmas before I had a ring to put them in (well apart from one my dad made me which was actually very good ). IIRC the above WCW ring and WWF ring were huge sellers that Xmas as American wrestling in general was starting to take off in the UK thanks to Cable (later Sky). The WWF ring was probably a much bigger seller, but I loved this WCW one e.g. because of the cage that came with it, God I must have spent hours and hours staging 'matches' and 'events' with the figures. And 20 years later I'm still watching wrestling, everyone's got to have a hobby though eh.

There's a couple of VERY complex Star Wars sets in George's bedroom which I'm sure he would love the help with!!!

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
The trouble is that lads today have no idea of the joy of Meccano, alone in your bedroom with your tool in your hand, tightening your little nuts
