I have to admit I am the verge of purchasing a new toy.

I apologise in advance for the nuclear winter that will invariably ensue.

Dear Santa,

As a 15 year old boy, I longingly lusted over these (see pic below). Any chance this Christmas?

I'm not fussy. Either one of the "man made" type.

I won't tell the missus if you won't, !

Dear Santa,

I've been good. (You know that, of course!)

So please, please, please can I have blue skies for Christmas? If that's too much to ask - I'm assuming most astronomers in Australia are pestering you for that - then can I please have the Courtney Cox look-alike in the ad?

Remember, I've been good...

Mario

PS Would you like me to leave you some XXXX this year or a Pure Blonde? Will Mrs Claus mind?

Dear Santa,
Nev has been a bad boy and you should give him one less pressie That's a rumour and I don't believe it . He's married and has always been in female relationships. But if it were true, it doesn't matter anyway .

Back to me now Santa ...
I want a ticket to the Oprah Show at the Opera House, and I want Travolta delivered to me wrapped up in pretty pink ribbons. Please don't let his wife come along. I also want clear skies just for one day (even!) sometime in December, but if that's too much too ask, I guess I'll choose Travolta .

I am really sorry Tony, but they won't be blaming you. As much. Sorry guys but I bought my xmas present ahead of time and it should be here hopefully round Dec 31 - 1st week in January.


I was depressed, I'm sorry, but a certain wise and aged moderator talked me into it. Just that he happens to live at the other end of Australia and is usually covered in cloud, if not smoke and hoped that it would all be drawn this way, has nothing to do with it.

All I want for Xmas is an AP900GTO mount.








And i got it.





Now I wonder what the dog wants??????

I would like two things for Christmas
Clear sky's for a change
and My mirror which I have sent away to be re aluminised, so I would like it back for Christmas
Santa I don't think that is to much to ask
Cheers

I want a switch to turn the sun off, especially when it clear during the day then turns to pea soup for the evening.
