Dear Santa… my I DO NOT WANT list

Shoot Santa

Dear Santa

I DO NOT want a repeat of Christmas Days long gone, I want a good one this year so here’s a list of what I DONT want to make things easier for you…

  • Star Wars.
    Yes, I know I am a geek but that doesn’t mean that anything with a space ship on it is good, even if it comes in a Trilogy.
  • Books Written Before 2007
    Science Fiction is my favorite, there aren’t as many sci-fi books as all the others so if you buy me a sci-fi book, check the inside cover for when it was first published. If it says any year before 2007 then there’s a fair chance that I’ve read it already. I swear if I get another Asimov book written in 1959 (and read thrice already before I was 16) then I will shove it up your arse!.
  • “Novelty” items
    Anything with the word “novelty” in it’s title is not good. That means no novelty Chocolate or novelty Willy Warmer this year - not funny! (still)
  • Models
    No cars, planes, boats or helicopters.. UNLESS, they are fully controllable on all axis. A car would need to be speedy and capable of massive jumps, a plane will need extras so it can drop stuff from a height, a boat only if it also flies and a helicopter will need at least 4 channels (that means if it only goes up and down, it’s crap and I wont like it)
  • Jumpers
    Yes, even big woolly ones with trees on.
  • DVD’s
    Ok, so like, I have broadband and a few programs called BitTorrent and Usenet. This means I have probably seen every movie there is and if I haven’t, it’s because I didn’t want to. Everything I have ever wanted to watch on DVD can either be downloaded as a DVD or in HD. Don’t waste your money, if you must buy me DVD’s then buy me the ones that can be written to. (so I can put more than 1 movie on it)
  • PC Games
    For the same reasons above, if it exists then I’ve probably downloaded it, played it, got bored with it and then deleted it.
  • Music
    Again, broadband exists.
  • Soap
    Oh come on! I do not need expensive soap (or cheap for that matter). I have a particular shower gel and soap that I like, forcing me to wash in your green biodegradable organic pig shit soap is hell.
  • Free Stuff
    Anything that you got for free as a bonus item at the checkout does not count as a gift.
  • Live Animals
    Unless you are going to kill it and let me eat it.
  • Cuddly Toy
    Anything that is fluffy and evokes an “ahhh” from a female will be beheaded and binned.
  • Vouchers for shops I don’t go to
    Even a £50 voucher is no good if it is for “Jazmins Custom Bookend Shop”. Seriously.
  • My present to you last year
    Any present I receive that I had bought myself and given away already will be placed in your nostril and set light to.

Yours Sincerely,

Andy Bailey
Geek aged 35+ :-)

    Some free stuff is good, like the collection of miniature bottles of booze that are affixed to the big bottles on a promotional basis. Booze has a very long shelf life.

    hehe, there’s an even longer shelf life for booze in my house. I still have a crate of beer somewhere from last year!

    So here’s a guy (FiddyP) that thinks that I am bothered by the fact that he tells people his post has been copied. I have had blogs for the past 2 years and about 80% of the stuff I have posted has been copied - frankly I am not so “up my own arse” that I need to be bothered by it and I take it as a small compliment that someone would want to reproduce my words (shows that people are reading my blog) - I generally ask that a credit is given - if they do they do - if they don’t they don’t - I have better things to do with my time than skype people and get abusive. As someone once said - insults are the vocalbury of the inept - FYI - I took the Santa Post down (it wasn’t that funny on second reading anyway)

    PS - thanks for the “Objectionable” link - as someone famous once said - ALL Publicity is good publicity. Perhaps I can do the same for you soon.

    lol … good stuff.

    I haven’t needed a Christmas list of any kind (want or don’t want) for many years now. Alas, when you’re a father, Christmas is for the kids … even my wife is ahead of me in the line … if there’s anything left at the end, I might get a present :)

    “Novelty” items are a huge pet peeve of mine too. Goes right in the junk drawer.
