All I want for Christmas is….
Well it most certainly is NOT a pair of socks, Y fronts, multi-coloured handkerchiefs or The Grumpy Men’s Guide to Going on Holiday 5th Edition (I already have up to edition 4!)
For goodness sakes how long has my main hobby/interest been radio control? Well at least 40 years, and in that time how many Christmas presents have I had that relate to RC….well let me think a minute…NONE!.
What do I have to do to get something that makes me go WOW when I open it, how many hints do I have to give? All it takes is for you to go down the local model shop and ask Terry, He knows what I like and what I would go mad for at Christmas and it will not cost you a fortune. He has all manner of stuff and all sorts of prices to suit any pocket. Please please please don’t get me more socks, I don’t need another tie I already have 20. I don’t need boring underwear with the days of the week on and I don’t need socks that say left and right. I might be getting on a bit but I am not senile yet! My book shelves are lined with Grumpy guides to everything from barbecuing to satellite navigation. I don’t want to start cooking so don’t buy me a cook book. You might think I want one but I don’t. I don’t need a travel shoe cleaning set or a chocolate fairy, I don’t need aftershave as I have a beard and have done for the last 10 years but that does not seem to stop you thinking I do need more aftershave. I don’t have a bath only a shower so bath salts just get used on snow covered drives, I don’t want a Boots, W.H.Smith or any other kind of voucher, book token or whatever they are just saying to me that you do not have the time, inclination or imagination to actually think about what I might really like. I WANT SOMETHING RC….is that too much to ask!
Actually the chocolate fairy was quite nice last year, another would not be too bad I suppose….
