A bottle of vinegar
lovely with fish and chips.
My best present was a Peugeot Black Lion BMX. (Yes Peugeot, the car. They did make
bikes once upon a time) It was white, black and red and went so fast it could beat
any bike before better gears arrived. It look like a bike out of the A Team van.
surgery in a third world after a week
after waiting a year in a first world country
best birthday / christmas pressie combined EVER
Picture of Runnerman xmas 75 with new bike
When I was six, my parents bought me an English soldier paratrooper uniform complete with pretend rifle.
This is significant only in that I lived just outside Belfast in the late 1960's and the estate was close to a large Catholic area.
Best Airfix 'Battle or Britain' set... A spitfire, a Hurricane; a Stuka 87 and a Messerschmidt 109 with groundcrew
Worst A trainset I wasn't allowed to play with until I was a 'big boy' (That'll be never then dad)
I got a 6 month cat one year. He found me actualy. His owners kept him outside all the time - so cold his food froze. So he came and adopted me till the week before xmas I asked his owners if I could keep him. The were over the moon. Were going to have him put down as they did not want him! So now I have a very happy, rather thick, fat black cat who is lovely.
That and the batman car which fired 'real' rockets from the back. V cool.
Worst - a bottle of knock off Youth Dew perfume!!
...and you're still very little
Mine was my quilting program from Mike 2 years ago which enables me to design my own work, produce patterns and generally be creative without needing to colour in squares on graph paper.
As a child, probably the Girl's World aged about 7 or 8.
Best one thus far, I reckon
Big ted. An appropriately named bear, he's ~ 4 ft tall! I was 3 and he was sooooo big that I could sit on ted's lap. He's currently sitting to the left of my desk, peering round the monitor at me.
tended to get the good presents for birthdays. We're spaced out through the year, so it was easier for my parents to afford presents then than at christmas. Most of my christmas presents were clothes and books.
Either Race & Chase, which was a scaletrix type car track with a policecar and corvette. The difference being that the cars could do skids and travel in the opposite direction. Or....
A Raleigh Grifter, blue in colour.....
