Christmas Present Ideas

All,

I mentioned this great thermal base layer a month or so back as divers think they are excellent, however I had not used any at the time.

Called Xerotherm by Fourth Element.

I bought some (£100 - £130 ish) a few weeks back then went diving on the West Coast of Scotland. I wore the things the whole trip in and out of the water ... they where excellent. Lovely and warm, breathable and black (I looked like a fat version of "The Saint"!)

Great Christmas present for yourself if you are looking for warmth!

Anybody got any other good ideas for presents ...

The RNLI handbook is full of useful info for boaters (sections on navigation, first aid, engine problem troubleshooting, and loads more) and you get the satisfaction of helping the RNLI at the same time! Highly recommended!

Dylan bought one at the Southampton boatshow - I was going to buy one but I tried it on backwards and thought it didn't fit!

. Its amazing how warm it is considering its thickness, especially compared to my bulky thinsulate. Dylans seems very pleased with it.

Trouble is, I don't think he's that romantic though!

....R.I.B International at only £18.00. The first copy arrived today and I must say how pissed off I am at having missed out on it for the past 2 years or so. Anyway, if you don't have it ask the missus to buy it for you for xmas, you won't be disappointed.

Look people your all becoming a bunch of sados (especially you louise)

An RNLI manual and a subscription to Rib int are not serious christmas presents are they, next your'll be suggesting a pack of flares or an EPIRB wont you, if i bought Mrs Rat an RNLI manual for christmas it would probably be my last with her !! for Godsake your all starting to sound like Phil Davies !

.......................I say it because i care ! ....................

I can recommend any of these 4.
Hours of harmless amusement and fun............and you might even learn something as well.
Naturaly, being a complete anorak, I have all four, and after making them up, have now set them in a special glue, framed and mounted them, and have hung them on my wall.
How sad is that?

Might suggest a long weekend in Paris or a weekend at a health spar, maybe a shopping trip to Oxford street followed by dinner and then the theatre, if Rich B's really flush this year maybe Christmas in the Caribbean

Here, borrow mine, Graeme. Although it's a 3-shot semi-auto you'll only need one cartridge because you'll never miss with a gob as big as yours

Jono Garton · 16 November 2004, 08:27

I have just realised, like the pillock that I am, that I neglected to post this link for my post above.
