Right then, What was the most unusual gift you or a family member received this xmas.
Will think of a prize later for the best entry, anyone else wants to contribute, all the better. (My decision is final!)  Mike

Not really unusual but a telephone call from my mate telling me of his 13+ yesterday!
Really, really pleased for him. Cheers Bob |

I think the credit for this present goes to a number of people, starting on Christmas Eve, with a trip to the Kennet armed with a bottle of sloe gin (2lb 10z perch to my rod, plus a couple of decent chub but no barbel), followed by a pint of delicious warm ale, followed by a drinks party at home involving white wine, red wine, port and champagne.
Then, at the last gasp, a very good friend produced a bottle of brandy. I think that was the most unusual hangover christmas present I have ever had. Joe |

Don't know about the most unusual gift I had, but without doubt my best gift was when my misses came home from town tonight, she happily informed me that I wouldnt have to take her to Tescos tomorrow morning
 Oh such Joy  Rayo |

How about a china chicken standing on wire legs, with feet like a duck! Any ideas where to put it other than the obvious?

Got a folding spade,US army type its 10 inches long folded and opens up to 24 inches,not much help for my metal detecting,as id soon get back ache with it.But may well be useful on some of the swims on the Biblins,where such a tool is very handy
 as the locals are to bloody lazy to dig out anyswims  Which reminds me "Wye boys" is "my" rope still in use by the gate on that steep bit favoured by Rayo,Tommo and bob ect And are the luton built steps still in use.To anyone looking to buy the Wye lads belated Xmas gifts get em some spades plus instructions on how to use them Regards Howard |

Did borrow your rope for a while by mistake, thinking one of the lads had left it there. But Silk told me I had to put it back as Tommo kept falling on his butt. Not sure about them steps though, wont go down that far myself in the dark, which is 24 hours a day down there this time of the year.  Spade now I think I know what you mean you can also get Clubs, Diamonds and Hearts, not very good with them either. Cheers Malcolm |

Saw Wolves beat Leeds 3-1 as a belated Christmas present.
It was an unusual Christmas gift in that one of our strikers actually scored - twice. Check out my weekly angling journal www.anglingdiary.com

Tom got a "Uni Cycle" for christmas!
as he is into juggling it is a natural progression and he is doing very well on it.  Mike
