This one would be cool for freaking out the kids (and adults) at Halloween!

Motion activated too!



Pinhead Rat
And not one to waste things he has another listing for a rat body with the head from Pinhead - has to be some kind of serial killer in the making.

"Comes as shown" also seems a little imaginative for the book-ends based on the shots above smile

Finally got around to deciphering the rest of the coded letter from my SS.

As requested, big thanks to the Moose first of all!

Picture of the light in operation as promised, setup in the man cave. The blocks fit together simply by placing them on top of each other, there isn't anything that locks them in. There is one main 'power' block and each block has metal edges which conduct the electricity to each block. Very cool to see them light up once placed on the tower and they actually give off a decent amount of light.



As for your thanks, I'll have to have a word with Garlick about this magical discount for Mustang/RS, it isn't something I've come across wink Thanks again though, I love it and please don't be afraid to come forward tongue out

Thanks to my SS as promised pics below! I am yet to try the coffee, I have been finishing what I have open first and looking at the levels this will be the first brew of the New Year biggrin The Star Trek album is being ripped to iTunes tonight hehe



Well as predicted, it was indeed my first brew of the new year and very nice it was too, smooth and light as promised! Perhaps a little light for my preference but very good none the less, I am currently in talks with a friend who is passing through Finland next week to bring me some more smile Thanks again SS!

Glad you liked it. I also got hold of some Presidentti kahvia if you'd like to try another blend.

Just want to say a massive thanks to my SS! Loved my present!

Stupidly I forgot to take a photo of me actually opening the present; but I do have one from when it arrived and the glorious stroopwafels

all hail the stroopwafels



When I did open it on Christmas day, I was greeted with:








My SS has obviously done his homework! I played this a few times and love it. Thanks SS!

all hail the stroopwafel

Side note;

Big thanks to The Moose for organising this year's Secret Santa. It isn't an easy job (God, don't I know it); but he was ruthlessly efficient and amazingly well organised.

Not sure what the final standing is with regards to giving/receiving, but I'm pretty sure it must be close to 100% completion.

Well done again Moose and thanks!

Me too, thanks for doing it again next year, Moose. thumbup

I'd also like to say a special thanks to my SS as the presents this year were very thoughtful, one of which I shall be building as soon as it gets a bit warmer in my garage.

Don't ask how I found out who you are, I'm just very clever, okay? biggrin

Another thanks to Moosey smile

And to my SS, the leatherman has been used a lot, great for doing little bits around the house! And the little one loves the Honda dummies! hehe

Whilst never admitting to anything, as a resident of The Dutchlands, I feel I should point out that here in Delft there's a Saturday market where you can buy freshly-made stroopwafels the size of your face.

As for the poll as to the weirdest SS gift, I'm not sure there's any point ...... the "four dead mice and and two bits of plastic wrapped in wood effect paper" wins hands down hehe

It's still a light roast, but a Kenyan/Ethiopian blend instead. Happy to send some your way if you like though.

Thanks The Moose for sorting this.

Also I want to say thanks again to my very generous SS. The Black Widow chocolate was absolutely amazing and the coffee is going down a treat. Actually I cannot say how lovely the chocolate was.
