I think I’ve still got one you can have. It’s the small Oxford one.
Ta for the offer but I'm going large as I've got a supply of big capacity Telecoms standby, sorry, leisure batteries and I'm building a little off grid system for the shed so I can run an inverter and forced ventilation.

I normally ask the kids for something I actually want, so last year they got me a tub of Swarfega - no point them spending more than they need to on stuff I don't want.

I'm toying with the idea of a Ducati.
I can get a deal that is hard to turn down, with at least 40% off any used models, so I'm tempted, then I'll move the CBR on to a bloke that keeps pestering me for it and see if it relights my biking mojo.

I've got a few things to take care of first, so I'll probably leave it until first week of Jan before I decide.

Same goes for the jolly whistling postman. Y'all have a good one.
Sounds like someone is on the naughty list.

Nothing. I have everything I want and more than I need. I think I'll be giving stuff away this year!

This is the first year ever that there is nothing I actually want bike or otherwise. I did ask the Mrs if she wanted to get me the riding jeans I ordered last month as an Xmas present and she said no. I do need a new lid at some point but will sort that next year. So I think this year it'll be totally focused on the kids which I'm happy with.
