Dauvitt says he cam make a fortune on the coal if this weather keeps up. Auld Ruddy might hae difficulty finding us if this keeps upwe may hae drifted a bittie frae oor last known location.

Is that husband of yours getting ready for a delivery of coal this Christmas? I still have that wholesale coal supplier on hand, you know. You can tell him that from me. " Rude bits Liz? How could you say that my dear we were the picture of propriety! weel almost, maybe, nearly ach heck ok will look forward to reading the next edition of the bluffers guide tae Scots." Hmmmmmmm....... That sounds fascinating, Dear, would you care to elaborate? I heard rumours of earthquakes in Iceland, was that you and your two newfound gesturing friends who caused that? Are you still watching the mail? MISS |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: GUEST,Mrzzy's rather despondent Santa Date: 07 Nov 07 - 06:31 PM I'm starting to think, my dear, that you're not reading this thread at all, as there have been no replies from you whatsoever. Zippo. Zilch. Which rather takes the wind out of my reindeers' ears, but hey ho. I am, after all, your Santa and I will not let you down. We might have a few annoying bits of red tape to deal with as I cross borders and deal with customs officials to reach you, so that means I can't bring you the traditional tangerine and apple, and even the sugar pig and the candy cane are probably going to be confiscated. Chocolate, though, you said in your hints? I'll have to see what I can do. Ah, but why am I writing this if you're not reading it in the first place? Perhaps if someone else on this thread knows you well enough to send a PM ... perhaps you might, after all, remember to say a "halloo" to your devoted Santa? All I'll say to you for now, though, is we appear to be some thousands of miles apart. How many, and in which direction, is still something of a secret. Your Santa |

Now, if you are not from the Sceptered Isle that's no problem, any gift can go to the address you have been given. If you are from dear old Blighty just let LTS know and I'll send her my daughter's address to save mailing costs and problems with customs and the like. Being my usual very good self jacqui,c |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Anne Lister Date: 06 Nov 07 - 01:00 PM Dear Santa The regional specialities you mention sound absolutely fascinating. What is a muktuk, and is it difficult to freeze-dry? Does it take a while to catch, or do you rear them in herds? How big, exactly, is a squid's liver? I confess I was once given air-dried reindeer (when for once I had been upgraded to business class on British Airways) but I found it almost impossible to eat with thoughts of Rudolf and friends in my mind. I'm really not difficult to please, in terms of gifts. And a signed photograph would be welcomed, too - which I promise not to put up on eBay! hugs Tabs |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: GUEST,A Struggling Santa Date: 04 Nov 07 - 12:01 PM Has anyone got any general ideas of things that can be sent from Great Britain that people might like? Any one out there from other countries really enjoyed anything that can only come from here? I am not very good at this and hints from my Santee were a bit vague,don't want to disappoint:-( Love Santa (who has a Headache and just wants to stay in by the fire at the moment with fluffy socks on) |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Pla From: GUEST,Tabster's Secret Santa Date: 04 Nov 07 - 04:48 AM Well, Ol' Santa was wondering a little about it. Father...Father?...Christmas could pull the whole Bean clan up through Space and Time as a special pressie for you, but would much rather not do so. They were a remarkably nasty bunch, and what they left out as a treat every Christmas I just don't like to think about even now. No, Santa didn't partake and they simply didn't get the hint of the coal in their stockings, year after year. Perhaps you'd care to try one of our regional specialities (tinned for the journey, but still tasty enough) such as squid liver pate or some freeze-dried muktuk? (I'm sorry, but there was no fresh haddock to be had at the dock.) |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Anne Lister Date: 04 Nov 07 - 04:32 AM Dear, dear Santa No, no, no .... the Bean I was referring to was from Sheffield and has no such unpleasant habits. But, as I said, I'm well suited with my husband and will be content with all manner of other gifts (haddock would be a treat, in fact) (probably best vacuum packed, or deep frozen)(and then the cat can celebrate as well). I am, as ever, impressed with your erudition, however. Tabs |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Pla From: GUEST,Tabster's Secret Santa Date: 03 Nov 07 - 09:51 PM Well, if for reasons that quite escape me you want a Sawney Bean for your pressie Ol' Santa will do her or his best to provide. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Anne Lister Date: 03 Nov 07 - 01:12 PM Santa, you don't need to worry. Any gifts I receive will indeed be treasured and clasped to my rather ample bosom for as long as is appropriate. A haddock, for example, would last rather less time there than a Sean Bean (picking up on another thread). Actually, don't bother with the Sean Bean as I think my husband might object ...The last time I parted with a gift (rather more unwanted than wanted) was when I was about 6 years old and sacrificed a pack of jellied fruit (a noxious form of confectionery, if you ask me) to the greater good of a family visit to some distant relatives. I was then heard to explain to the new recipients that "they were mine really but I didn't like them so you can have them" in tones that suggested I had in fact licked each one first. I will be suitably grateful for all gifts, and I am also happy to be watched by elves or any other of your secret helpers to prove my honesty and good will. Yours, ever Tabs. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Becca72 Date: 03 Nov 07 - 12:23 PM Sorry for your troubles, Santa. Whatever delivery method you decide will be fine. Unless of course you choose cute tiny furry creatures and then you may have issue with my 3 cats. :-) They're good boys, really, they just don't understand what is and is not a cat toy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Hollowfox Date: 02 Nov 07 - 04:51 PM My Dear Secret Santa, I got not one but two postcards from you on the same day. I wish my penmanship was half as nice as yours. I *think* I might know who you are, but I won't find out until next month. Postmarks are so revealing. I'm still trying to be good, your little Hollowfox cub. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Pla From: Rapparee Date: 02 Nov 07 - 04:42 PM If I were Santa I wouldn't want to eat anything my reindeer "did" on, nicely or otherwise. |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: GUEST,Secsy's Secret Santa Date: 02 Nov 07 - 04:11 PM Secsy, are you looking over your shoulder? Do you notice movement just outside your range of vision from time to time? If you do, it's just the little group of elves detailed to keeping an eye on your every move from now on and until the Festive Season is over. And if one of them was looking through the wrong window on Sunday last, you can rest assured one of the others will have been more vigilant, so don't feel too sure that you can get away with fooling them. Elf Snugglebutt has already reported back that Elf Dripplynose was caught oogling your tits. He says you've got great tits, but he likes the blue ones better. He was duly reprimanded and told to get back on the job in hand. I'm afraid Santa may not be able to drive the sleigh himself, come the time. The poor soul has had a minor accident, you see. He was trying to fondle a raven black pussy, but it wasn't as friendly and docile as first assumed, so it sunk its claws into his hand and left him with severe scratches. His hands have now been bandaged, so he won't be able to do more fondling in the very near future, I fear. Hopefully, he'll be fully fighting fit for Christmas, but we've decided that it's better to let someone else be in charge of the sleigh. On the other hand this means, that you can safely let him have the Slow Screw he so desperatedly desires. I do think, however, that you're right in refusing to let the reindeer have any Buttered Rum. They'll do nicely on oaty bake bars. SSS |
Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Pla From: GUEST,Tabster's Secret Santa Date: 02 Nov 07 - 01:57 PM I am waiting, Tabster, for you to send off your presents to your Santee.

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Messages '07-Santas, Come Play! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 02 Nov 07 - 02:52 AM To my Santa... Having just bottled the August (first crop) sloe gin, and found I had three glasses too much to go into the bottles, I've tried a Sloe Screw and find you have good taste. However, as a firm believer in not drinking and driving, I feel honour bound to leave just the orange juice for you and an oaty bake bar for the reindeer. I don't care how magical you are, alcohol + vehicle + animals = trouble. If you should happen upon my house at any other time and you aren't in charge of a moving vehicle, then you're more than welcome to partake of intoxicating beverages. Manitas has some rather old whisky hidden away which I'm sure needs drinking. LTS |

I don't mind which window, you choose. Ever since I first read your post I've been desperate to come and see your tits, and I also believe you have a raven black pussy? Not too sure about the fat balls though, I assume they are not attached to you, are they? This is what you can leave out for me on Christmas Eve, along with some Buttered Rum for the reindeer. Do try to be good dear. S's SS |
