Well nothing really terrible, but I did get one of those small glass frames with a picture and coloured sand that makes a pattern.

That one might get recycled (regifted)

Hi All,
JONATHON,
You can get them off,BUT you will have to work at it.
It wasn't worth the 25 klms drive to Cessnock,to get it changed.
The one I had was held by a very strong pin,I loosened it with my hands,and cut through the pin with a Leatherman.
A short fuse,and a lack of patience helps.

Regards.
John

Sign of the times.

My little one Jessica (9yo) recieved a diskman that plays tapes.....she had no idea what a tape is, not even sure if you can still buy them, my brother who bought it assumed it was a cd player, he is going to change it over for her.

Hope everyone had a good one.

I kinda like the bright blue pepper shaker myself.

My wife's mother bought us an electric food slicer - I should be grateful, but the cupboards are already over-flowing with unused special purpose electric gismos that never get used.... what's wrong with a sharp knife?

cheers,

I was going to rip the tag off, but apparently some of them squirt ink out when they are tampered with to make the product useless, so I didn't try! I've got dozens of hats anyway so I'm sure I can manage a couple of weeks without another one.
