You sent her the link didn’t you? 

Nah, mate. She carefully researched what profile of bat would be most appropriate for a number four batsman playing on predominantly low bouncing decks, created a shortlist of four or five bats all grade two or three within a certain budget, and then sought advice from a local bat expert. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I sent her a link. Still half expected her to buy a tennis racquet.

That's quite the scene you've painted there. 

 

A sexual collection for the senses.

It's absolutely brilliant, a true culinary encyclopedia. 

You don't have to be a gifted chef to have a go at most of the recipes either.

Just give yourself time, open a bottle of red and put TMS on the radio and I’d spend days in the kitchen.

Yes. Top quality, but much pricier. 

Always used to find them a bit heavy as a kid,but looked the business design wise. 'And it's Gower...straight to second slip.'

Real trainers for walking that don't let in rain like turkish Market ones.

Hoodie that advertise some sporty chaps, pj's, boxies but most disappointing.

Fuck you Kris Kringle, fucking fraud! You know I can't get Crunchies which is why I asked for them. I have to sit there pretending I'm happy?

Can't say nothing or I'm ungrateful!

Don't diss the Crunchie Bits bar, it's about the only Cadbury's chocolate worth eating these days, lovely stuff.

Fuckin hate them Moo, I don't want bits or bites or rocks of honeycomb, I need the real deal. Got to agree on Cadbury though, Asda's own kicks it's ass.

Couple of years I said I liked Toblerone, cue them big fuck off break ya teeth monstrosities they sell at Christmas because they look 'like a real present" Got called all kinds when I asked to never get given them again.

But you have to ask yourself one question when smuggling,

pork or chocolate? 

Make a noise like a pig there boy.

Did very well this year:

 

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal aftershave

YSL Myself aftershave

New camera bag

1:32 Tornado GR4 model kit

North Face t-shirt and hoodie

£150 cash (heavily hinted that said money must be spent on this years Gym membership)

Fucking massive Toblerone to counteract the heavily hinted gym membership.

New slippers as my old ones absolutely fucking hummed.

A few smelly sets

Some moisturising sets (I must look like Luke Littler will at 21!)

New camera strap

 

The least welcome present was Covid on Christmas Day so we moved Christmas Day to the 29th.
