Off at a tangent: There seems to be something of a current fad for food based tattoos, there is a girl in my local HMV who's shoulders and upper arms are covered in pictures of muffins, I've seen photos of someone with a picture of a roast dinner on their stomach, and two girls at work have sweets in wrappers tattooed up their arms.



Strange..





Mind you, I'm turning my upper arm into a graffittied wall, so I suppose I can't talk.

I didn't do too bad this year. Mainly because they were present's bought by my and squirrelled away weeks a go.

Got a pair of White's Classic work boots, that are currently sat absorbing a coat of mink oil I've just applied. A few watch straps from my favourite makers, including a strap for a watch that isn't even in my possession yet. But will be come September. And finally a Buzz Rickson B-15 that I scored off Ebay in LNIB condition.





Merry Christmas everyone!

Are you quite hard then or a bit of a puff like all them football players with their arms blathered in tatts?

did get two xmas cards tho' with one of them from my mentally handicapped neice (she's now 42) which was very touching and worth more than 100 presents anyday !

DVD box sets and golfing gear



Game of Thrones, The Borgias, The pacific and Boardwalk empire season 1 and 2.



Best present of all was this this T shirt,







The reason for the T Shirt is so that i and five other ex-Matelot's can have a bit of uniformity when we have 4 days in Malta whacking the ale down our necks like the good old days.

It depends what the graffitied wall design is of, if its one of them IRA murals with an image of a bloke in a balaclava with a machine gun then he's probably a hard fecker, if its got stuff like "Shazza N Dazza 4Eva '06" then probably not

I got the book 'The Road to Wigan Pier Revisited' by Stephen Armstrong for Christmas and it's certainly getting me all radicalized to keep fighting the good fight in 2013.



Other stuff I got: socks, jeans, shoes among other things.

Yep, if it's a mural of [ithe ballot box or the armalite,[/i

Scooter will be forgiven.

If it's one of them tribal cr@ppy things that every tit and his tit has got,

.



Excellent reading by the way Damo.

Tickets to the RLWC opener, semis and final, along with the usual haul of clothes, smellies, socks and Xbox games.

I've already got my political leanings tattooed on my upper arm - anarchy symbol, Antifa flags, yin/yan and peace symbols - and wanted something to bring them together, so a graffittied wall idea was thrashed out with my tattooist. They're currently in flat black (apart from the red in the flag) so there may be some more vivid colour added to lift them from the background.

Hull Fc hoody...Hull Fc zip up top...voucher for waterstones which i put together with money for b/day (xmas eve) and got Lee crooks autobigraphy along with David Millars and Paul Lakes and a book about team sky cycling and its inception and aim of tour de france.
