It's Christmas not fg Xmas

I went christmas shopping last Friday, (usualy go on Christmas eve) just didn't have the urgency about it. I'll wait a couple of weeks, someone here will have come up with some good suggestions by then

Bah Humbug too.

Panic shopping is the only answer. I know I should buy all my presents on the net, but I can't get motivated until the very last day when I have to get *something* - shit or bust.

Besides, having a good rumble with equally fraught shoppers on Xmas eve on Oxford Street is good fun - just don't take the wife 'cos it can get messy.

Imelda: no problem It's the folks from Toronto that got their knickers in such a twist. It's a shame they try to emulate the Americans by being so ridiculously PC about stuff. They should let Canucks be Canucks!!

Incorrigible: I agree! I cannot underdstand why people insist on writing Christmas in such a shortened fashion. ARGH! Just my two cents...

Well im going to have Christmas this year with Christmas dinner, Christmas tree and Christmas presents.

We have so many things pushed down our throat in the name of PC that if anyone tried to take this away they had better be carrying a very large stick

OK everyone, just to help you find some presents:

10% Discount to all PH'ers

yep.. spend over £35 and I'll give you 10% off.

Shop4silver specialises in selling high quality silver jewellery at discount prices. I deal directly with a leading wholesaler so you don't have to pay shop prices as I don't have the overheads of running a shop (you typically save 30-40% on high-street prices)

We have Bracelets, Chains, Pendants, Necklaces, Identity Bracelets, Earrings and more, and I'm adding more stock all the time (like this week). All top quality "925" Sterling silver, all assayed and hallmarked, and sourced from some of the top manufacturers in Europe.

So between now and Chirstmas, any one of you can take advantage of this offer. All I ask is that in the How did you find our site ?: box you write PISTONHEADS, and I'll action the 10% discount on those orders.



So come on over... to Shop4silver
www.shop4silver.co.uk - Quality silver jewellery at discount prices.

I stumbled across this website, that sells all the things I had when I was a kid. www.hawkin.com

They sell those little chocolate bar machines and spud guns amongst other things.
