| GNAMER FORUM SECRET SANTA 2019!!! Seasons Greetings to the GNamer Family! ‘May your fire be warm and your home be bright’, or some bollocks like that. It’s good to be in the Christmassy gift-giving mood, and I invite you all to take part in the seventh annual GNamer Forum Secret Santa!A round of a Santa-plause for everybody that’s taken part so far. I’ve enjoyed it a lot! Over the last six years, we’ve exchanged plenty of amusing gifts, many practical gifts, even one or two ‘unconventional’ gifts - let’s keep up this fine forum tradition! So, straight into it: we’ll use elfster.com like we did last year, where you can add your name, address and ahead of the random drawing on Sunday 1st December.To take part in this year's Secret Santa, go to this address, and follow the instructions: https://www.elfster.com/gift-exchanges/b349cbe8-fd64-4ccd-9333-2e1db73fbe99/The (Same Old) Rules:• Everyone who wants to take part will need to sign up at this link: https://www.elfster.com/gift-exchanges/b349cbe8-fd64-4ccd-9333-2e1db73fbe99/ . If you could use a name that’s easy for me to recognise and acknowledge, that’ll be much appreciated. I’ve emailed invites for everyone who took part last year too. • Names are drawn automatically on December 1st. Hopefully, that’ll give you loads of time to register your involvement, and then to buy, wrap and post presents. Keep an eye on the Royal Mail’s dates for Christmas delivery - it would be very disappointing for anybody to miss out on their GNamer gift on December 25th. • No matter how early your present arrives, please hold off on opening them until December 25th. Let’s do it together - under the bedsheets. When you can, post your pictures, and your thanks, your appreciation, or your complete and utter disgust.• Let’s stick to a limit of £15, not including postage. Don’t rip the pish either way - keep to the budget, but use the budget (if that makes sense).• Don’t drop hints! We should all know each other well enough to pick good quality presents. They might even be thoughtful too! • The gift(s) you send and receive must be physical, tangible things; there’ll be no emailing download codes or having a star named after you, or any of that bollocks.• Once names are dished out, don’t post about the buying and sending of presents in the thread. That spoils it a bit - it’s easy to work out who you’re receiving a gift from that way. • You can post if you receive your package, and it's nice if you can message me when you post.• If you say you're taking part and then fail to post out a present, you’re officially a Conservative. Unless there’s a good reason, of course. A New Option:With respect to what's happened with various mismatches in the past: if there’s anybody who you’d not like to be paired up with any way, you can let me know over private message. I’ll treat this confidentially and non-judgmentally, meaning that nobody but you and I will know, and that I won’t share this information either. That said - and I must stress - this is just an option. Confirmed SantasmasofdasJayMoylesBalladeertreesmurfCrumpy AndyThe Cappuccino Kid

| I'll need a reminder nearer the time, but I'll definitely get this a tagger. It'd be good to get a good few other people involved. On which note, pull yer fingers out fellas! Also for what it's worth after last year, I'm very happy to get anyone and everyone as my Santa. |

| What's up with Andy these days Mas, do you know? I kind of feel like he should have to put his name into the hat on the actual forum himself, but if he's having a hard time then fair enough. |

| His phone has issues with the site, not sure what though as I use desktop for instance on mine. And his work laptop blocks the site, leaving him unable to reply to anything but can see my questions for instance in the quiz along with knowing this is happening. |

| Here I stand, in the light of dayyyyyyy This took a lot of work of loading up the web browser, logging in, finding the thread. If I wasn’t just coming back from the middle of Amsterdam I wouldn’t have bothered logging in. This is a terrible UX and typing is annoying on phones at the best of times. There was a link in the end of Topic’it email that I asked Moy dog to look into, think it just needs enabling. |

| The tagline's up, and we should be getting more than a measly six people in to be honest. |

| The core has gotten smaller but then we might have 10 doing Fantasy League Next Year, that you'd hope to see those here.

| Money's tight at this time of year, and it's an extra effort for folk who might not have the time. If it's six that are taking part, no bother. But folk are welcome to join anytime before the names are drawn on Monday 2nd. |
