Thought I’d start a new thread to dive into the collective brain trust on here for christmas gifts, ideas and best places to get them.
So I’ll kick off; Does anyone know of a good, cheaper place to get football shirts? My two boys are obsessed and, thankfully, aren’t keen on the Messi/Ronaldo shirts but want Zidane/Maradona/Cantona instead. Any ideas?
Salvos/Op shops?
Sometimes you find fantastic football shirts in there. When I’m back on my feet, I wouldn’t mind prowling through a few and seeing what football jerseys I can pick up for a few bucks a pop.
Cheap replica football shirts | Team football shirts | Football shirts factory
Can’t say I’ve used them.
Anyone else disappointed that this isn’t a thread for bitching about Christmas?
I was hoping that’s what this would be
Happy for the thread to take its natural course…
I fucking love Christmas.
We are ditching Christmas this year. No presents, no elaborate feast, no Christmas decorations, no extended guests. Just prawns, beer/wine and lazing in the back yard.
So not actually ditching Christmas then?
How’s this different to a normal Christmas?
Our Christmas is going to a friend’s house that has a pool, a bunch of friends and family turn up, kids are all friends, eat too much, drink a little too much, swim and have a great day
I love a good Christmas winge, but just back on the gift ideas topic for a moment, I’m looking to grab a couple of Cove shop t-shirts as gifts.
Any news on fresh designs or restocking of old favourites?
Or is it only whatever is still available at:
and:
(Slim pickings with remaining available sizes.)
I guess this is the best place for this.
It is now only 1 month until the hot cross buns come out.
Thread title making me remember the time they had Santa in a golf cart driving around up at Gosford one December away day and when he got in front of us people pelted him with beer.
Happy New Year fellow forumites.
May 2025 be a much much better year than 2024, which for me was mostly a dumpster fire of a year.
My fridge atm. Could have maybe squeezed another carton in.
Solids, who needs em? 
you could probably take out the coke and solo if you need more space
Only present of note I got is an MRI that says my back surgery didn’t fail and all my nerves are ok.
Going to be a very long road of rehab.
I put them in there for further effect. The spirits are in the freezer.
I picked up a bottle of Patron Cafe from work when I just knocked off.
Much like Bunker’s Bourbon Barrel Rested Agave Spirit that I picked up for Christmas, I suspect that it will remain untouched.
Absolutely knackered right now. I think I’m getting too old for retail at Christmas time in a town full of pissheads!
Bbq done, a league on, beer in hand
Happy new year
