Depending on what's on offer at the time, I can pick some virtually new ones from the local market from £1-50 to £2.00
(The lady that sells them, seems to buy DVDs by the armful....watch them once....and if she's not really impressed, the DVDs go straight on the stall.)
Which reminds me 'V'...
She's got wodges of Dr Who memorabilia.....Anything you're particularly after, if you're into that sort of thing ?
Cheers - Phil.

Not really. I'm trying to save up to get ALL the rest of Tom bakers episodes

I'll keep an eye out in the DVD boxes then, and let you know if I spot any.
Cheers - Phil.

Think that last one might be taken the wrong way as being in poor taste.

[Vulpine]

That's true.... I_am_win, think of something els?

[i_am_win]

Think that last one might be taken the wrong way as being in poor taste.

Hey, that was the least crude and offensive gift I thought of!
OOoohh, OK then you got me (Why does everyone spoil my crimbo fun?!) Poor taste? Me?! 

OK, I'd get him some of these suitably titled foods in a hamper, seeing as it's christmas...

[Techno]

You couldn't take him anywhere, could you !!
Cheers - Phil.

[i_am_win]

That's what my wife says too!! 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

How about a pounds worth of 2p coins.
50 one inch round bases for a quid, try getting 50 slotted bases for that!

[Vulpine]

Ok I_am_win cock flavoured soup is on the list!

Lemmey, £1 worth of 2p's, lol common, you can't slot a model into a 2p! Credit were due, games workshop are really good at putting a slot we're its needed!

[sebigboss79]

how about getting him a new job? Playing against (or with) the crap he has done at GW..... or make him PAY for the models he uses...

Cannot imagine anything worse than letting someone do THAT while two gentlemen do REAL wargames on the table next to him...

[Sandinista]

How about a beer for helping to introduce people to the hobby?

[Dim_Reapa]

I was going to get him a Monkey At A Typewriter, so he could do his job for him, and do much better, but I think I'd give him the gift I would actually give him if I met him. So put me down for...

A BOOT TO THE HEAD (From Dim_Reapa)

I've even left him one in my will...

For all the 'angst' this Matt chap appears to be generating, Sandanista has got a very good point chaps !
True ??
Cheers - Phil 

[petercooman]

Only if you spike the beer and drop him off in Syria afterwards....

[i_am_win]

I personally have nothing against they guy, since I no longer play 40K, nor buy any GW stuff directly.(just stuff off ebay/others)
For me, it's just the Mob mentality, since the GW of today stinks, he seems to be the one to blame (Well, current scapegoat anyway) so that'll do for me!! 

Seriously though, maybe it is right about him bringing new un's into the hobby, not that I'd buy him a drink (remember, I already bought him a hamper that had "prick" cola in it)
I actually think that GW might have a genuine system that creates serious wargamers by the eventual realisation that all they are interested in is cold hard cash, rather than passion for the hobby as a whole. These disillusioned GWites then develop an anti-GW sentiment and develop a taste for real own to earth wargaming and grow more as a person with a better gaming world view (rather than a blinkered "there's only GW and no one else" version of events)

So for that fact alone, they should be applauded.....
