Secret Santa.

I hope I get Karl. I'll send crimping tongs.
And no sending me green vegetables - you'll kill me. They taste BAD.

So, who should we bug? More than I usually bug them?

There's more

At least one has signed up without saying anything in the thread.
On monday I'll start collecting the adresses I dont have - and when I've got all of them I'll start handing them out.

Maybe we should set a date like "the gift should be send around the 20:th july" so people have a fair chance of getting a gift, wrapping it up, getting money for shipping costs, etc. ?

I'm sending mine by pidgeon. Actually, it IS a pidgeon. I'll be sending it by pidgeon though. Just send back the pidgeon you don't want.

Pidgeon.

Is that spelt correctly?

So, who's the secret one? Is it Santa?

Did you get my address?

I know that eight people have signed up - and I am currently waiting for a reply from two more.
As soon as they reply - the adresses will be sent out

Any thoughts about a "we should send the packages between Date X and Date Y, so everyone gets it at almost the same time" or should we just send them?

I just sent Karl Lynch a PM with "Your name and adress please".
I am so stupid

Pigeon. No "d", though there is a word "pidgin" which means very basic or childish in terms of language, as in "he only speaks pidgin French".

Yeah, between two dates would be cool - that way we don't have a huge gap between people posting about what tat they got in the mail.

Also, I need a couple of days 'cos I'm still recovering from the tube/throat thing and haven't been out to any shops yet - or outside at all. I have something cool in mind if I can find it.
Pity the one who has me sending to them. Not really - it'll be cool, I promise.

And no sending me a can of spam as a subtle hint.

Thanks Emvee - I probably just remembered both terms and mixed them together in my fetid brain.

With all the stuff that's going on in London; Should we wait a week or two before we get going with this?

I don't know. It might cheer people up a bit.

).

Cool!

Just a question: if everyone sends it at the same time, it will probably not arrive at the same time, right? I mean, shipping to the US will take me 2-3 weeks, whilst UK-guys sending to each other will only take a day or so, for example.

Doesn't really matter, it's still a great plan.

Perhaps those with a Transfan who's in a different country should post their 'thing' now instead of at the end of the month, to equalise the arrival dates. People will just have to wait.
Then we can all check in and tell everyone what stuff they got. And perhaps speculate.

This topic has been so much fun - and more interactive than just chatting.
Good work that Obfleur.

I put my gift in the mail today, mostly because I'm enthusiastic but also because I'm on the other side of the planet. (As opposed to the other side of the pond)

Anyway, everyone be sure to let us know what you got! Pictures are encouraged!
