That’s only because the neckline wears out on yours.

So my mom was right all along. I better not tell her.

Yeah I remember when the Christmas jumpers thing was just people wearing the jumpers they had been bought for Christmas by their nan or whoever. These weren't Christmas jumpers as such but just massive wooly stripey jumpers from M&S or somewhere and people would take the piss out of each other for them. Then the shops latched onto the joke and started making actual Christmas jumpers.

I’m not really a fan of a lot of Christmas ‘things’ (elf on the shelf, I am looking at you), but the Christmas jumper thing makes me happy. With the pressure so many people feel to look cool and adhere to latest fashion trends, it’s great to see people looking so very uncool, even if ironically. Basically it brings everyone down to my level :D

I have a sense it just makes people look cheery.

Malicool exists outside of critical public evaluation.

It's a way of making children comfortable with the surveillance society.

Check at the end of the Ashens book and you'll see my name in tiny letters.

And Lord Rixondale's. And Chinny's, I guess ;)

I liked it, but not as much as the first one. The "create this game in real life" bits fell a bit flat, and I think it had too many guest spots (and each one felt the need to tell us how precious their pocket money was).

Surprised to see no mention of AP in the "Lowest review ever" bit, too.

I agree on the "create this game in real life" bits but I enjoyed all the guest spots.

I think I enjoyed the book more because I remember playing one of the games in it to death on my Atari. Castle top fact fans!

I'd played The Flintstones from this book and Showjumping from the first one.

I think we can close the lid on all future Secret Santas as I've received the BEST present ever! (albeit a few months late...)

They’re awesome. Worth a year and a half wait! Seriously, they’re ace, and I bet they were a complete surprise as well.

They were a surprise! They were addressed to 3 doors down as well so the postman was all over the place trying to deliver them.
