Glad it hit the spot. Got me - the corn was a fluke. You were hard to stalk, but luckily, Mrs Pembo, less so. There should have been another small parcel in the box, but if not, it's not critical to proceedings. Happy etc!

Ah.. the glue, yep I found that buried in all the packing wotsits. I realised I'd missed it from the photo this morning, I've got to keep PVA hidden so that it doesn't end up in a crafting drawer.

Well played Santa!

The cappo was brilliantly researched, it’s inspired me to stop messing and get to learning! Thanks

[Swampy1982]

Just a note for Capt. Holt - thanks for stepping up and organising this year, im sure there's a certain amount of ballache involved but look at the joy you bring!

Also, who'd have thought, as disparate and divisive as PH can be at times, that a random bunch of people from t'internet could come together and share thoughtful gifts with each other with the principle aim of raising a smile or two.

Yes, yes, im over romatising things, but just warms the cockles of my heart.

Well done everyone.

Well inside my giant blue sack was a chunky wooden box covered in padlocks and garnished with a lock picking set.

Any pics of the box???

With the padlocks and picking kit.



Just looked up the torch I was gifted too, it's quite a well regarded one from the looks of it

[Glade]

Ha ha cool!!!

[2gins]

Opened last night but after plenty of merriment I wasn't in a fit state to do the photo-hosting shuffle.

The contents of the box



I hadn't opened it until the day, it has been a frantic last few weeks before the holiday tbh!



Nice work Santa. I am going to make the assumption that the CD is for Mrs 2gins... there's space on her shelf of the collection



Thanks again Santam happy Christmas everyone.

Santa - you legend.

I concur

[The Rotrex Kid]

Anyone want to reveal themselves/ask for their Santa to be revealed?!

I’d like to know who my Santa was to thank them personally. However I understand if they don’t wish to reveal themselves.

My victim hasn’t posted yet...

I think I know who my Santa is.

I can probably help out with info on the snake.

So pleased to see my box make another outing! You have to pass it on next year. I think we may have started a new PHSS tradition!

[oldbanger]

I was just sitting in the kitchen when one of last year’s PHSS presents rolled past - still inflated and going strong, even the dogs haven’t killed it yet

[Master Bean]

Is there a wiki so we can see who has or hasn't posted pictures?

[OzzyR1]

Photos are on my phone which is currently out of battery. Will get a new charger tomorrow (don't ask) and do my post then.

[st3ven1]

Sorry, couldn't seem to find a minute to post yesterday.

Received a fantastic selection of presents from my PHSS.

Beers look brilliant, haven't tried any from Saltire brewing before.
Not built my digger yet, saving it for when we watch Love Actually this year.

I like the gadget pen & whisky lip balm. The RS keyring will come in handy too.

The star of the show has to be the Rangers branded, chili flavor dildo.


Close up of the detail:


Thanks very much Santa.

[DRFC1879]

Great fun putting this together this evening. Thanks again, PHSS.

[Troubleatmill]

Hmm....

Where the Feck are the dildo's?

The dildo’s what?

[matrignano]

Is it too late to fill someone’s tree this year?
Especially someone who might need it more, if I can pay it forward

[OzzyR1]

Right, now my phone is working again!!


Parcel arrived a few days before Xmas:




Upon opening, a slightly worrying tone was set:




The gifts revealed:




And opened!!




Thanks very much PHSS, a very thoughtful and amusing selection. Impressive stalking on the Aerobie!! I remember recounting that tale on here ages ago, but its so far in the past that I can't even find it!!

Will post up photos of the model when I build it in the next day or two... photos of the book in use, perhaps not

Thanks very much again and to Captain Holt for the organisation.
