Great Xmas presents

[Pigeonho]

Might as well have an opposite of the shit pressies one.

Best present I ever got was a Commodore Amiga in 1992. Totally unexpected it was too.

As an adult i'd say it was a case of fine wine I was bought a few years ago by an ex Mrs P. Came in a wooden case and some of them were exceptional.

Got one myself for xmas, splashed out for an additional floppy drive!! Those were the days.

My Amiga and Championship Manager, my Subbuteo astropitch, my le coq sash shirt off the father-in-law who had no interest in football but saw it and thought of me (it was an additional present to what my missus and her brother recieved from him). It was the moment I knew he'd accepted me into the fold. My Castle Grayskull AND Snake Mountain on the same Christmas morning after I'd been made to choose between them and only expected one (I chose Grayskull). It was probably my best ever moment before having my own kids.
