I hate to say it but I saw a list of dates for last suggested posting dates for Xmas (you know, that traditional Yule/Winter Solstice highjacked by the Christians) in the post office yesterday. Some more far flung destinations need you to post by 5 December. Bearing in mind that not all orders go out immediately, especially treated rope, you should place orders for delivery by Xmas as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
If you are stuck for a present, how about a copy of my tutorial DVDs? Perhaps some new ropes? One can never have enough rope and I have new ropes in my eBay store: Festive red Tossa Lite and reinforced Asanawa Xtra.
I can also make up gift vouchers that can be used for private tuition or anything from my shop if you are shopping for that notoriously hard to please person on your Xmas shopping list.
OK, I know this video relates to Thanksgiving but it does have festive relevance due to featuring a turkey. Regardless of its seasonal pertinence or lack of it, it is very funny. Unless you have a waterproof keyboard cover, I advise you to refrain from drinking coffee or the like whilst watching it to avoid spraying your keyboard. The line “You llike it when I sepak your native language” always cracks me up and his final “What?”. Curiously, the Dom in it bears a frightening resemblance, right down to the facial hair, shaved head and jacket, to somebody who ‘friended’ me on Fetife some while back but I forget who. I couldn’t resist sending him the link, which he took in good humour.
