What do you want from Santa this year?!!

[tiggs]

If money were no problem and you could have absolutely ANYTHING you wanted..what would it be?! :roll:

For me it would have to be one of them all singing -all dancing (drop dead gorgeous) laptops with flat screens that were on offer in Comet the other week for a couple of grand (just as a stocking filler, you understand!)

or a Shrek 2 calendar LOL

 

[Dave H]

I want an extra day in the week - lets call it Caveday!

I want an extra day in the week - lets call it Caveday!

And it would be at least a 48 hour day!!

 

[Titch98]

Here's my christmas list to Santy Clause (and I'm not being greedy you understand.....!):

1) Private Jet to take me and my Caving buddies to any Cave system in the world at a moments notice

2) Purchase and own Mammut (well, it would solve my rope problems..... )

3) My own Cave......cool.........and not some poxy 5 minute wonder system, either!

But back in the real world, for christmas I will probably get socks and shreddies (what's the friggin' deal with this?)........

 

[Rob]

Peak Cavern !!!

 

[Cumbrian Neil]

A nice new set of knees... mine are f**ked.

I'm backing caveday, sounds brilliant. Can it be sportingly wet one week, and instantly dry the next.... tremendous. I hope santa reads this!

Dear Santa,

This christmas it would be very nice if I could have:

1) A speleotechnics light that actually works in a cave

2) Kevlar shreddies

3)A warmbac oversuit designed for people taller than 5'

4)Kneepads capable of staying on your knees

5) Gloves which still allow you to move your fingers, yet keep your hands warm.

6) Kevlar Shreedies

7)Grit, and other interesting assorted sludge-proof mars bars

8)The Helwith Bridge pub to be magically transported to Bull Pot Farm

9)For a shaft larger, deeper and more impressive than Titan to be discovered in East Kingsdale.

10)A small slave to carry rope bags down squalid caves.

Yours in optimistic anticipation,

George North.

[pisshead]

WOW

what a good list!

i want a little slave too

 

[Lincolnshire poacher]

Finally, after 3 days of trying, I can open this topic!.

Right, here's my list for Mr Santa:

1) Vicki Butler Henderson (her off Fifth Gear)
2) A PC which doesn't shut down when it feels like it
3) My own underground thing to explore. Be it cave/bunker
4) New Land Rover Discovery

Dear Santa,

I'd like a set of extendable/retractable legs, so I can stretch them out on climbs and in rifts, but tuck them away again for the stoopy bits.

Also a couple of those posh patio heaters that they sell in garden centres, so I can set them up behind my van when I'm getting changed.

And ski lifts to be fitted up Ingleborough and up the side of Kingsdale.

And for all the decent caves to mysteriously move to be next to the road, while the little tight shitty ponitless ones end up miles away at the top of a hill.

Oi! That would make our roadside digging project take longer to get to!!

Too right! I'm, fed up of caving companions saying 'just put your one foot there and your other one jut there' when the two points indicated are separated by a distance greater than twice my total leg length!

Also a couple of those posh patio heaters that they sell in garden centres, so I can set them up behind my van when I'm getting changed.

Or a 4wd camper van with hot shower and automatic soup dispenser..

And for all the decent caves to mysteriously move to be next to the road, while the little tight shitty ponitless ones end up miles away at the top of a hill.

Whereupon all the water would drain out of the pointless shitty ones and would turn one or two of them into quite decent caves!

A large area of untouched limestone riddled with caves to be found in Derbyshire - with lots of open shafts, big resurgances, and a 3km depth potential
A long wheelbase Landrover Defender
A driving license
A furry suit that dries out the next day.
Maillons that don't rust shut.
A light that doesn't run out, doesn't get stuck on things, but still has a 10watt bulb (try it, it's really impressive)
A whole lot more time to go caving.

 

[tubby two]

Awww guys (& guyesses),

All these ideas are just so good. Its impossible to decide (though the retractable/ectendable legs sound good...), all these great things. maybe if i just have one of evertyhing you lot suggest from santa, then i'll use them all and let you know which was best in the new year?!?

You agree? Brilliant! Thanks santy ;-)

tt.

p.s. one PAIR of the legs though.....

:hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

 

[cap n chris]

I'd like Sarawak to be uprooted and tugged half way around the world and anchored off Cornwall so that UK cavers could enjoy the delights of tropical caves without catching malaria or needing to take a 14hr flight.

And I'd like a packet of duracell batteries and the winning lottery numbers for the next three weeks. (Ok, make it four).

 

[tiggs]

I'd like a packet of duracell batteries

Why??!!!!!

The winning Lottery numbers for this week, next week n the week after are............................**,*,**,**,**, and 49 ;-)

Good Luck!

tubby two - you forgot the leather bra

 

[Huw Groucutt]

To give me a breakthrough in Draenen and make it the longest cave in the country

 

[Cave_Troll]
