Checks in the mail - Jack Burton
Should arrive by the weekend.
Should arrive by the weekend.
Who says? Simon says?? (probably only slightly humorous if you’re English & called Simon).
When this Simon posted his wondrous box off, the lady at the post office said it’d be behind the iron curtain within the week. Tracking say’s it’s still in the same post office, a week later! Simon say’s the Royal Mail are a bunch of @#%/£!!!
Despite being somewhat stressed at the delay (caused by postal strikes here in the UK) I still believe the Royal Mail will deliver……I also believe in Father Christmas though.
I’m starting to hope that my recipient is a ‘strict catholic’ & awaits opening his presents til the twelfth night (jan 6). We should be alright by then. Lol
Unfortunately I stated previously on this thread, that if my box didn’t arrive by Christmas Eve I’d ‘eat my hat’. As all my hats are tweed, this is now of some concern.
Please talk to the commissar.
Somebody has to keep the suspense alive. You’re not the only one that needs some time to get it “just right”.

Reminds me of poor old Johnny Franklin. Little old fat man that got stranded & nearly starved to death, looking for the north west passage.
Ended up having to eat his own boots! Kept him going though. Dr. Marten’s I think they were. Tastier than a ‘tweed hat’ I’ll bet! Lol

Damnit! They sent me the wrong horse head. How can you confuse the Godfather with My Little Pony?!!
They are just different types of parties
My wife intercepted this from the postman. She wanted to know who this "Secret Santa" was. I told her it was from a voluptuous blond in GA and that we had been communicating through a forum and we were introduced by some strange Canadian man. I also told her it was French as the tape on the box said "Fragaile". She was not impressed!
Needless to say, I received my package!

I just checked USPS tracking for my package, it said;
Your item was delivered to the front desk, reception area, or mail room December 3rd. LOL
What the heck, looks like my recipient didn’t give me their home address... hmm
And, last year, my recipient wasn’t a very active member on the forum, and I got another not so active member again this year.
No offense to anyone, but I personally wanted to gift someone, who is what we call one of the Regulars on this forum, the daily posters, family types.
@mikethompson Maybe next year we can have a list done this way, where we have a choice of who we want to gift from.

My SS package is under investigation by DHL. If I don't hear anything about it before Friday I'll drop ship something to my giftee.
Received my Secret Santa, and shipped mine out today.
