In this weekend's papers there were loads of Xmas brochures from M and S, Tesco etc which got me thinking about my xmas goodies requests...

I would not mind a pair of these in black/red.

    I'm hoping to get myself a force groupset to go on the cannondale, but it's more likely that I'll be getting the finishing kit!

    I've got to pay for my wedding, so Christmas is going to be a little skinny this year :cry:

    Still, I can but hope.................

    Possibly the Garmin 800
    And a top lid (Ionos?)

    not sure I need anything - apart from plenty of tools, lubes, and gubbins I'm all shopped out!

    A proper coffee machine to go into my new swanky flat (rented), which I move into mid December :D

    Ja.

    There was a lot of chat about how to grind and pressure etc.

    Can't be dealing with that - I like to drink it rather than make it.

    Maybe a bean-to-cup machine? Or if that's a little steep for a present, just a nice standard Gaggia style machine (although they went bust right?)

    The UK distribution did....

    sorted now.

    I advocate the "classic" model. Or, just use the french press! Bean to cup sounds right... my gaggia classic is in the garage gathering dust as making (GOOD) espresso is too much hard work at home.

    Just roast my own and drink it long now. The vacpot is my treat when I can be bothered.

    My Christmas wish-list can be pretty much summed up in this...

    Please, make it go away.

    Hoping that the missus will be buying me a Giant Omnium off a club mate with a bit of chipping in from other relatives if necessary.

    Already dropped massive hints that a turbo-trainer would be great. And the Cyclops Jet-Fluid Pro is supposed to be very quiet. And it represents really good value, looks very well made and durable. And the colour's lovely. And I'd so love to able to stay on form while the snow snows and the wind howls.

    Will still probably end up with socks / handkerchiefs though.

    I'll probably be asking for Open University gift vouchers this year, at least they will be useful. Don't really need anything else, although if anyone in my family's feeling really generous, I wouldn't mind a cyclo-cross bike.
