What a bitch!

First, you insult my mum (stop messaging her on FB btw), then you insult the lovely tie i got you and then you fill your mind with rota fag rubbish!
You said you wouldn't do this to me again. I HATE YOU!

2nd swing.
 

That tie is the same colour as a mk3, you would have looked real dapper when you got one (don't the sent auction links work??).

(stupid edit time)

Still no SS over here...

Is it time for name and shame yet? :rolleyes:

I just want to say, to whomever my Santa was that got me tea, as someone that has previously not drunk a lot of tea, this shit is delicious. I've been drinking the Otago Summer Fruit infusion, which is like a hot fruit-gasm in your mouth, and tonight cracked open the Pacific Sun (indian and ceylon with flowers in it) and this is also delicious.
So, well done and thank you sir and/or madam SS.

any updates, 3 weeks on?

yeh just about, ill update the spreadsheet based on this thread feedback and find out who hasn't received anything yet

I didn't get anything, if that helps.

Just had a call from the boss (at home) and my NZGSS has just arrived. Pics tonight.

Still nothing for me. It's a very Zen gift at this point.

Hey - that was my call missy!

And a little boy waits.

For anyone browsing in text mode, that's a Wisher Breadboard for electronics prototyping, [hence why] Monopoly Deal card game, both Orange Intense (yum) and Chilli (weird) chocolate, and Duke Nukem 3D.

Thanks Santa!

Happy New Year everyone (slightly late, I know, but early if you're Chinese...)

I ruthlessly stole your line. What're you going to do about it?

Just remember, it's all my fault that some people got their presents late, some people never got them at all and that some people got their presents but didn't post pics.

CCS is the grinch that stole SecretSantamass

He's taking the secret out of it by showing his hand!!

At least it wasn't SecretSantasSauce.

Or SecretSanta'sMayo

Wow NZGSS, considering I posted sfa last year (or any year for that fact) you lurked very well. I is impressed.

Speak up if any of of this is wrong

I've emailed the 6 santas asking for status/tracking for those of you that didn't receive anything yet.

I think a couple of you still just haven't posted on NZG since xmas (Baal, dylan?)

So I got NZG issued note pads, a snake I assume welcoming me to AUS, a kiwi bottle opener/key chain piece of home, and 2 dnb records - dom&roland and twisted individual.

GG NZGSS - well wicked

those images are fuck off huge even on my 2012 Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display

Huge. Nice haul though!

Looks fine on my iPad

Taken with my 4s

My gift came today. Our HR manager was in fits. I'll post pictures tonight :)

Start > Run > Mspaint > Ctrl-W > 50% horiz / 50% vert > File > Save

Or, considering he used IMGUR, which has free features built in to resize files you upload, could just use those.

My secret santa put his real name in the 'from' form on the package, so I won't show a photo of that. Here's the actual present:









It's going to be a cosy winter :D

Oh sorry, I forgot to report on what mine was.

It was a lump of coal :P

Well, it was a letter from my would-be Santa if I hadn't pulled out, and then a picture of a lump of coal. My heart was warmed.

So at this stage it's fully name-shame-ban time: Who didn't send a gift?

I sent a gift to furrycrew that seemingly never arrived (possibly as he was out of the country at the time or something??), and I havent sent the second gift which I told cevin i would send by now.

This - except if mine was the one that was apparantly incorrectly addressed - but that address worked last year.

pretty poor effort this year really. some of the gifts were great, some were lol, but seems like most people either didnt bother posting or didnt bother sending

btw pie, your gift was from http://www.somethingstore.com/ , could have been anything really, but turned out to be a tie. i got a great many lols indeed.

Theres only 2-4 that havent posted, but some are just unknown/unconfirmed, so its not really that poor an effort is it?

hrrm. seemed like way more. maybe there werent as many involved.

That's true, half as many as prev years :(
