Oh no is it heading towards that time again?

Yes I'm afraid it is. Christmas adverts are on the TV and we need to get moving! Last year's SS was generally speaking a success, if very stressful at times!

So what's it about then?

Dead easy. Reply to this thread declaring your interest after you've read this entire post.

Max spend on items is £25 excluding postage and packaging.

But what if I get paired with a guy from Australia

Well, there's two options for this. Either PM me saying you want to post to UK only. Or, think about your fellow collectors - they're certainly going to have to post abroad so join in with the spirit!

But I posted abroad last year

You're not reading the above. PM me if it's a problem.

I will take the names of those interested and will randomly pair you up. Only I will know who got who unless you declare it after Xmas yourself. I'm not going to make a video or provide evidence if you don't trust me then don't enter :D

It's ok I trust you

Thank you

I've just thought about something. Are you entering and if you do surely you know who your SS will be?

Yes I will be and this wasn't a problem last year. However, I've thought of a different way of doing it this year and another party will help sort out my SS. Rules.....

A new thread will be made where you post a list of realistic wants.

A cut off date of 1st October so the pairings can be sorted giving you enough search time


Sounds fair. Can anyone enter?

Ideally yes. However there were some problems last year so I'm going to try to avoid that by having two requests.

1. You must have a post count of more than 30.
2. No bellends.

How do I know if I'm a bellend or not?

If you're asking the question then you probably are. Now back to the rules...

Get a receipt for proof of postage just in case things go wrong.


No presents opened before Xmas! Although Jez has suggested a big FF reveal. I like this idea and would like to incorporate it. You could save on postage with this too. When you enter your name below could you indicate if you're attending FFVII or not in December?

I have a great idea to make this better.

Just pm me then.

I'll update this as necessary.

I'm in Rich and will be at FF x x

Mr shifter has text me this morning asking if he's a bell end, I said he was, now I've just read this I think the two may be related.

I don't understand the rules. Rule 2 states no bell ends and I look at the list and see it consists entirely of the two biggest purple headed custard chuckers on the forum.

Although I don't fit in with you two strokers put me down. I will be at ff as well.
 
I have an urge to put words forward, that may serve to quell the attritional air and return us to the comradery and well being that is SWFUK; :lol:

If you must judge, then remember I am just a man,
I live my life and do the best I can.
Life is but a short time, it must be lived well,
Take thought in deed, and in word then you will excel.
Should ambivalence call at your door,
Patience, kindness and understanding I would advise and implore.
We are but human with frailty and flaws to us all,
But in acceptance and understanding we may stand tall.
Tis easy in callous word to hurt where not intended,
But the penitent man in reading this will not be offended.
Waste not words in sharpness of derision,
Look to the reflection in the mirror, and make the decision.
Proffer the hand of friendship, to take that stance,
Is a lesson for all to live a life of benevolence.


Play nicely children.....

I will get my coat :lol:
 
Count me in. Was good craic on TIG last year so will be double the joy doing the same on here as well. Doubt I'll be at FF.
 
Count me in but I won't be at FF due to it clashing with my Christmas piss up with the lads.

So depending who I end up buying for it can be shipped direct or given to someone attending FF.
 
Ok,

Secret Santa sounds good... But if you pair up with someone you don't know much about, how do you know what they may like or your not getting something they more than likely will have. Count me in for those out there I like random logray and gam guard stuff.

Don't worry rich. Once the secret Santa list has been formalised, another thread comes up where you get to post your letter to Santa with a list as specific or loose as you want to make it so that your ss has a good idea of what to go for.

Ps. I don't have any metal doors at home so I don't need any more magnets. ;)

Yes, just put some cheap stuff on your wants list or take up collecting cardbacks.

And we she only allow a pass on magnets if you can prove you have bought some already.

Here's mine:-

I would consider having a cut off date for when members joined the site. To prevent some bellend joining, knocking up 30 posts in no time (think, "nice find/great item" etc) and then not sending an item and happily receiving their item.

Hopefully no one is that much of a prick, but it will do no harm.

Other than that, enjoy guys!


Ps, i feel sorry for whoever gets Todd as their SS, god only knows what he'll send you! :lol:
