'APPY CRIMBO!!!

I've hard a rumour that some of the 'opposition' have been having mixed blessings. Apparently they are mostly legible for Father Christmas as he judges on mental rather than physical age. Unfortunately he visits 'good children' which takes most them out again.

Oh well. For my Xmas I want Dreamland to be saved. Come on Santa, rustle up something in your workshop that will save the day.

A very Merry Christmas to all on the Forum.

Fingers crossed for a better year in 2007 for historical wooden coasters!

Merry Christmas! I know this is a bit late but you know; busy, busy, busy.
I collect antique Christmas lights and have thrown a couple photos of my trees (one home, one at work) and stuff I used this year in my Photobucket account. Photos never do them justice....

Anyway, here ya go:

Nice looking lights there Jim, where do you pick those up from?

While it's quiet- and I know this piece of video has been doing the rounds for a while now- here's a light show set up by an electrician at his home... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD4g0gmQSLk

and some info about it http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/xmaslights.asp

Happy new year to everyone from all of us!

eBay and antique shops, mostly.

That house is fantastic. The neighbors must hate it!

I love eBay. For anyone interested in obscure antiques- or "junk" as my wife calls it- it's the most amazing tool imaginable.




Here's the last thing I bought- I collect mechanical coin-operated machines-

I just love that 1950's truck frantically trying to avoid the girl on the zebra crossing!
