I missed the one that I was going to do for you all....
Don't think it would have 'fooled' anyone for a minute....Awww...maybe some for a couple of seconds at most.
I'll save it....Not next year...'Cos you'll be expecting it. ;)
Cheers - Phil.

Some good ones there, the 'Build Your Own Mini' sounds pretty cool, shame it'd take 600 years to get all the parts!  I reckon that Monopoly would sell though!

I missed mine unfortunately, I got caught up with other stuff last night and forgot to do it.  Next year though...  ;)

Why didn't they do Google Maps 8 bit when I still had my Spectrum? It was really portable so long as the power lead was long enough.  :D

I thought it was renaming their paints, or perhaps introducing Failcast and charging £20 per figure.   ;)

First elected mayor; what were they previously - conscripted?  =)
