    That’s so 1970’s…😉
    The small screen seems to be the thing now.

    My aunt got me these PJs which I imagine only Tony Montana would wear.

    I still can't make my mind up if I love them or think they're awful yet 😂  


    Def the latter…😉

    Lots of personalised guitar bits n bobs, just need to get better now.  Even to move from abject to awful would be good.

    No bad presents this year, best was either a Phoenix Suns jersey or a new pair of work trainers. 

    Most wtf present of the whole shindig was a thermal headband that runners use, with Bluetooth "headphones"built into them.

    Wifey did a good a job this year by planting a ps5 under the tree.... Then followed it up with a load of age defence moisturisers and what not.... I don't know if I should be offended...

    I’ve got a Makita hover for my car. It’s not often a man gets a hover but it’s 2024 we have equality even in present department. 
    I bet you were floating on air when you got that.

    Two books I was very happy I got. The Scorsese one got with a dvd too on american films that went with the book. I'm big into clothes, in particular the Ivy League/Modernism style.

    These two mugs, which I forgot I had asked for.

    Imagine in 20 years there will be one with Kevin Foley, Ricardo Vaz Te, Christophe zLepoint etc.


    The Jonjo Shelvey picture is top drawer 😂
    Initially I thought John Robinson was actually Simon Webster.

    When the present was handed over, it had an xP (expected present rating ) of 0.63 but upon opening it hit the back of the net and was a full win present

    Best present so far is the book of the Get Back documentary from my daughter, although the box of wheat beer from my sis isn’t far behind.

    I always comment/moan about the number of gambling ads on TV, the latest being the Christmas lottery scratch card (my comment being how very festive).

    My wife bought me one for my stocking, I won £15.

    that reminds me, I got that last year and still haven't read it- hope I can still find it, it was a big book.

    I got some CAFC jimjams this year, surprisingly good but incredibly naff and sad at the same time.

    Sent that to Jonjo’s uncle (not the one who used to be on here ) he responded ‘yep I sent that a while back, he was fuming 😡😂😂😂😂’

    Got some great presents from Mrs RM, however one I was very pleased with. Just got to get it framed now. I don't know where she got it from and I doubt it was expensive, but I was chuffed with it!

    I got my two boys a second hand BMX Mongoose from 1998 as an extra surprise. It’s in great condition. The 14 year old couldn’t believe how great the suspension is.

    My favourite was a crate of Chinottos from my wife. My favourite drink and hard to find in England. The good thing is, I am the only one that likes it! I'm still getting through them too quickly though.

    Myrtle-leaved orange. Not something I’ve seen before. Seems they make jam from it in Türkiye.

    My father in law celebrated turning 70 this year by travelling the world. He gave us various random bits of food from Japan, including this tin - even he doesn’t know what it is.
