Christmas Presents

iSon · Sat 25 Dec, 2004 02.42

Well sadly due to a poor postal service and a lack of money on my part, it has been impossible for me to get a Christmas present to all of you. But this thread details what should have been bought for a few of you here...

Katherine - A new set of headphones to avoid future BBC Local Radio embarrassments

Martin Anderson - A new door and a vacuum cleaner

James Hatts - A set of signed ITV News photos

Square Eyes - A mince pie and a voucher for a new haircut (A perm)

tvmercia - A Gerupti signed photo

Nick Harvey - A new beard, the other one is a looking a little tatty now

Uncle Bruce - An ego compressor, to get through the smaller doors at BBC West

And a signed photo of me to the rest of you.

So what would YOU give to the fine members of Metropol? Oh, and what did you get for Christmas for real?

I knew as I bought mine in advance, a lovely new Canon digital camera. I expect lots of photos from all of you (Looks in Martin's direction...)

And Merry Christmas!!

I ain't giving owt unless I get owt. I'm not being selfish or anything but I don't want to spend good money on people if they don't do the same back.

Merry Christmas though.

Awfully sorry DAS, I've made an extra special present for you. It's a tape of James Martin's 2004 best bits from both on radio and online.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the 16 second compilation.

Cracking.

This is surely a mistype on Ison's part.

There is a stray number 6 in the above quote.

Hahahahahaha - and there was me thinking I was the only one who got toothpaste for xmas!! I got Colgate. What did you get?

I got Colgate too, the one with the snazzy pump. It was part of the fabulous pack of toiletries with funny gadgets such as the Gillette spray with the funny lever.

Well I got everything I need anyway - now that I've read Eats Shoots & Leaves any way!!

Are you serious? Does that book really exist?
