Not for me, for me my company has decided to close the building in between Christmas and new year. As I always have Xmas and Ny off ive now claimed 3 days holiday back, added two days to that and now I'm off next week as well as Chrimbo 

I'm refusing to think about the epic hours I'll have to work over Crimbo and New Year . . . . as long as there's a couple of Mulled Wine sessions to look forward to, I'll be happy enough.

Ah but at least you'll get to dress up in a skimpy red dress and have all the customers pinch your bum

So true Perpetua... I swore I'd never do another Xmas... but I haven't managed to hand in my notice yet, so who knows.   Now the bloody fireworks and pumpkins are coming... is that warning enough!

I'm stilled pissed off from Christmas 1979 when i got this pile of non working shite.

I got one of them, or my dad got it for me/him....think it was the year before I got my new space invaders game that had a high score already, took me 3 days to beat it......!

It still genuinely annoys me
The advert made it look boss and it didn't work at all, had to wait another 5 years for a proper air rifle so i could finally take my frustration out on the fake Dr Pepper cans.

Space Invaders was cool and i even liked the rip off Argos special Astro Wars

Just for you

Thank you for that Greg... seriously, that time was the last time I really enjoyed the season. Happily married, two great kids... everything to look forward to... what could go wrong 

But we pick up the pieces and make the best... thanks for the memory... seriously 

ETA: You really touched a nerve with that clip

Did you get given the Evil Knievel Stunt Bike?

at least you could use it to crash into your other cr4p toys and destroy them.

Still got mine in the loft, I let my kids have the Lego, but the Meccano is all mine.

[Q]

About the same time I got this

Can you imagine it being allowed now?

For those of you too young to remember it, you placed steel rods in a plastic board & slipped plastic brick/window/door segments over them
