That because you were always a very bad boy.

I did get hamper from the Presbyterian Church delivered by the minister himself, and he knew my name.

Dunno how that happened.

I got a software update to my Samsung tv that seems to have made it worse at connecting to wifi and occasionally results in the talking features being half turned off, I do sometimes worry about the testing of new software updates. I mean as more and more devices are now connected to the internet and run on software, you cannot rely on anything since the quality control and testing seems to be not there. Brian

It is there, just not done as well as it should be, even by the likes of Apple.

More likely to be one of the cops. I got a stolen twin cab ute dumped in my trees facing into the park next to the house, where drive my car out thru the park. I assumed it was my mechanic neighbour tho buys cars with faults off ebay, fixes them and sells them for twice what he paid for them. They don’t have much room for cars at his place, lots of cars and an RV so I let him park one at my place. I do that with all my neighbours if they need to. I asked him to move it a bit so I could still drive my car out and discovered that it wasn’t him.

The ute thief appeared to have dumped it there so the cops wouldn’t see it when driving around and planned to pick it up next day. I called the cops and told them about it and they hid in my house for a while to see if they were going to collect it and when they didn’t, had it taken away on a tilt truck. They did work out who had stolen it very quickly somehow and two cops got assaulted when they arrested the crim and his bimbo.

Someone broke one of my windows the next day, presumably because I had told the cops about it.

The cops rang me a couple of days later for feedback on how the cops had handled the event and I gave them a very good report and said that they couldn’t have done anything better, She was very happy wit my feedback.

As part of out ID system the cops ask for your date of birth and my birthday was in a couple of days and she asked me what I was doing for my birthday just to make conversation.

I said nothing special and the next day they showed up with a birthday present. I bet it was her that organised the xmas hamper too. I don’t know any presbyterians personally.

Chocolate, gloves, biscuits, tea, USB pig face nightlight, George Forman grill.

And that's made me realised I haven't opened my present to myself yet.

I got a very nice coloured chap off Grindr.

I'm sure we're all very happy for you.

Owain

Not from me.

From the style, probably from she who signs as Bernie.

Hell hath no fury as a Bernie scorned!

Difficult for "Her Indoors" because with Amazon and Ebay, if I want anything during the year, I order it there and then.

But, I got my chocolate Father Christmas, and a complete miniature model railway, inside a toffee tin, of all things!

Best wishes to Geraldine and to thee.

Meeeeaowwww!

Perhaps he hasn't gotten to you get. Nephew in Japan, using FlightRadar24, shows Santa's sleigh doing 490 knots at 38,000 ft between West africa and the northern part of South America at 07.24 today.

The world's a big place, remember.

I'm glad my Sony "smart" TV no longer has an Internet connection. I was always anxious that it would be "bricked" (or rather "slabbed") after flashing LEDs of different colours. No noticeable effect in any case.

Nothing to do with me, Gareth - look for someone who owns a Mac.

Gareth, but it is nice to see that you're still obsessed with me, Gareth.

Scorn from a Deranged Narcissistic Scumbag like you, Gareth?

That would be hard to bear.

Gareth, have a gay Christmas, Gareth.

The only thing I ever connect to is my media server. The user interface to hit the internet is so dire as to be unusable,
