Weird World Web
Hugh Jampton goes surfing for Christmas Presents.
Well Christmas is just around the corner (he's writing this in October - ED) and we are already unpacking the tinsel and digging up one of next doors fir trees. However what can I get people for Christmas. I know what I want and have already written my note:
Dear Jim,
Please fix it for me to have a Microdigital Omega
for Xmas, oh, and a RISCStation portable as well
Love
Hugh Jampton
However what am I going to buy everyone else? I thought about getting my wife a new ironing board cover, but there is no need to go mad! After last years experience when I sewed her in the bed and then got accused of matresscide I think I had better be more careful.
Anyway did I tell you the one about (GET ON WITH IT - Ed).....oh sorry. Now what was I supposed to be doing, ah yes places to go for Christmas goodies for your nearest and cheapest, sorry dearest.
