    It's a shame to have a "worst Xmas present" without having the best of.

    My favourite present... there have been a few:
    *Bendy stretchy monster
    *BBCB "computer" with Elite and Revs games
    *Guitar

    Well thats as far as my memory goes :( I guess all that Xmas cheer makes a man forget pretty much everything he gets from Santa.

    Best gift ever? Well when I was a kid, I got a smelly old sock with a few nuts in it, couple of pennies, an apple and an orange.

    Damn, I have to stop having those Ozzy Osbourne halucinations.

    maskatron...the coolest action figure ever made,
    made as part of the six million dollar man range.

    features included three different face masks,which could be stored in a cavety in his chest
    the head arms and legs that spung off to represent battle damage
    not only that his regular arms could be replaced with a fierce scoop claw and a dalek style suction cup.

    A huge load of he-man stuff when i was a young lad, the huge castles and all the action figures.

    I got outaa bed around 6am that christmas to my horror to find i had gotten everything except the he-man figure, i cursed and cursed and cursed cause santa had'nt brought it (mother had forgotten to leave it out :) ) i finally got it around '11 with the story that santa had left it 'just' outta sight to make that present extra special.

    Those were the days ......
