Being as I'm a difficult sod to buy for, she bought me the one thing that will get used a fair bit. A coffee machine with a shit load of pods to go with it.  She wouldn't buy me anything bike related because she'd have to ask me first then it spoils the surprise. I like her to surprise me, she never fails! ha ha. And the usual chocolate, lynx box set.  |

Funny that, I work for pelican rouge coffee solutions and we all recieved a coffee pod machine for Christmas. However we had to sign a contract to say it was on 'free loan' and if/when we leave the company we are to return it or the money will come out of our final salary. We also are apparently allowed to give it away but NOT sale it. An engineer put his on gumtree and received an email from HR asking him to remove the add. They have someone monitoring the internet to check. I never signed for mine and told them where they can stick it. |

I used to work for Mars Drinks Paddy, we dealt with Vending machines, coffee, etc. They were a strange bunch too, well organised but odd. I've still got a coin mech or two and a chiller pump in me workshop somewhere.  |

My last Xmas-Birthday-Anniversary prezzie from the wife. I was $30 (£15) short but didnt stress over find that myself !!!!!!! Just did a "ride in ride out" deal on a Roadsmart 3 rear tyre and an EK chain. Couldn't be arsed with fitting my own or taking in lose wheels. I'm quite happy using Sportsmarts but haven't used Roadsmarts before. Bit of a harder tyre but I'm eating up too many recently.  |
