  • Oh what kind, those small indoor ones 6 batteries aa in the controller ones?

  • Yeah I think so. It's made by Syma. It's Red.

  • Halfords front and rear lights. Ecstatic. And paper clip bookmarks (bike shape twisted obv). Over the moon.

  • ha, I got given the paper clip bookmarks. For the second time.

  • I got them a few years ago too. They're utterly shite at being paperclips btw.

  • By the same person?

  • Er Dibs...

  • I'd not be surprised, my old ma is a bit forgetful these days, but no.

  • I got the fixie pizza cutter. (Refer to page 1).

  • I got the same tibetan peace garden from the same person. A couple of years apart.

  • I have one of those too but yellow with black wheels, never going to cut a pizza with it so it's now "art".

  • Forgot to specify 'pair' on my wish list.

    Received single rim.

    This is hilarious.

    My partner received Revelate Designs seatpack and fuel tank (from me).

    I have been banking up birthdays and christmasses for about five years... so... next year she'll have to get me a Morris Minor or something.

  • when people ask me what I want, i ask for things like helmets, shoes, gloves etc. and then insist that I need to pick them to ensure they fit first.
    I find the item I want, flick them a picture of the product, the price, and why It's a good gift and low and behold, I get exactly what I want/need.
    But my wife tells me that my family is sensible and boring...
    From her side of the family I was given 2 pairs of socks, both white, which I will never wear in a million years, donated to my dad instantly. I walk around wearing nothing but black, grey and dark blue for years and suddenly white socks!? not sure how being surprised with something I hate is more interesting than asking for something I actually need...
    I didn't get any tack this year at least.

  • Yeah, I got the yellow/black one too. It's hanging up with all my other kitchen implements to be seen to be useful, as the friend who gave it to me is often round my flat.

    I cut pizza with scissors.

  • For christmas my family got me a drum.
    An african drum.
    And drumming lessons.
    African drumming lessons.
    Whenever I am at a festival and I see these groups doing these drumming things I look at them with complete contempt.
    My family must have misconstrued my contemptuousness for admiration or envy.
    Now I have 8 Thursdays of drumming lessons.
    And a fucking drum.

  • You just need to embrace the way of the drum. I quite like a bit of group drumming!
    In laws got me same as last year, bottle of single malt, so no complaints there.

  • I once got a 'keep calm and ride a bike' t-shirt but tbh that pales in comparison to @adroit's drum lessons

  • @adroit that is priceless! It may grow on you.


  • Sadly this didn't fit my oversize bars.

  • Are you 5?

  • Someone gave my nephew a duck head version of this for christmas - he's 4 and loves it. So much so that he keeps wanting it taken on and off his little bike so that he can run around the house with it as a general purpose noise device.

  • For christmas my family got me a drum.

    You are dead to me.

  • My age is significantly greater than 5.
    Despite that I did run around the house using it as a general purpose noise device.

  • I got one of those fixie pizza cutters from a work collegue

    I dont eat pizza because I can't eat dairy
