Thanks so much Three1ne. Really really loved all my gifts. We were all really chuffed that an Internet stranger would get such good stuff, amazing. Can’t thank you enough, really.

Glad you liked it. Did you get the card too? Didn't see it in the picture.

Sorry for it arriving at last possible moment. I was holding on for delivery of an 8 bit Fargo iPhone SE case. Original order was lost then replacement finally arrived this morning due to some bullshit printing error.

Never order from redbubble.

Did you end up getting the phone? Was a gamble present. The print actually looks shit so I think Star Wars model replacement was probably the winner.

Also, for future reference would anyone like to know how much it costs to post large parcels to Cyprus? I laughed and collapsed a little when I went to post it.

Heh, I know that feeling. Sent something to my niece in The Netherlands and that was more or less what I'd expected for postage costs. I managed to get my package in a smaller box, but it turned out 3 times as expensive. Felt so bad for B, who basically financed it.
I don't know what the big difference in cost was, it's either that I didn't use a flat rate box or the weight, which wasn't that much. Didn't help that we first had the "old lady that's doing the job for way too long and doesn't have time for questions because it's almost lunch time" , and the "trainee who is doing her first international shipment" after. Not the best experience with usps, will definitely be looking into buying from UK shops next time and send something small from here.

(don't regret anything at all though, they did deliver way quicker than I thought and nothing was broken or lost, so it was all worth it)

A drunken rant about the best arcade game of all time has heralded this.

Awesome game. In terms of co-op arcade games, bubble bobble, ninja turtles, midnight resistance, final fight got alot of love in our local arcade as a kid.

Thank you yet again Frantic. Kahuna was an amazing present. My wife and I played it tonight (we went to our new local pub for some drinks and 2-player Gaming) and it was an absolute blast. What a cracking game. Thank you so so much.

Glad you enjoyed it. I play it alot with a friend from the boardgame club I attend and love it. I have quite a few two player games in my collection, and now also own Kahuna thanks to Mrs Pea

Sorry, I missed this somehow.

Yeah, I got an SE but that was for a family present (daughter actually - and she hasn’t seen any Fargo). I got myself an X and that’s a whole other world of trying to find a suitable cover!
Star Wars model is being made tomorrow as a celebration of us all finally heading off to see the new one.

The card was my favourite part of the whole present. We loved your little sketch. I’ll take a pic later.

Re Redbubble. I had the same issue with Gavs present last year. They were a nightmare. I ordered at the start of the month - got it just in time to send and then kept getting replacements right through into March. They’re rubbish!

If I'm not one of them I am going to majorly flounce.

Erm...

I’ll let Dante post them as they’re his gift, seems fair that way

Three of the cards are Reg, as per trad.

I'll also bet on Cinty and Muzz. Wide open after that.

Looking through the list that's posted like

I'm in one of those packs, Gav, 'cause I'm special. Production stopped in the '80s.

Can he not be the manager?

Sorry, been ill, I'll post them after work tonight.
