Is it:
A loom band set
A mini stonehenge made of Wotsits
My Little Pony blindbag disguised as a Transformers Tiny Titans one for max despair
A 1000 piece Bumblebee puzzle missing one piece
A lifetime supply of Chewits, all pre-chewed

There is no limit to Blueshift's imagination!

Nope, something a lot rarer than any of those, which was why I bought more than one!

Rarer than a Stonehenge made out of Wotsits?
Oh my.

I agree, a Stonehenge made from Wotsits is pretty damn rare, Phil!!!!!

I've just reread Phil's posts in this thread. Very clever, sir. You're flipping devious at times. Nobody would have expected all those to actually be honest.

And just to be clear: I texted Ralph when I bought said item today inviting him to guess what I'd bought. Not wanting to spread further fear and worry, but I did buy more than one ...... The second one was for me! |

And I took inspiration from this post It says something that when handed a box from forum chums yesterday I instantly assumed a True Friending was in the offing rather than Nice Things Inside. The Hub has corrupted my soul! -Ralph Which was made just before I found said item in Kingston. I texted Burns with "Guess what I've just found?" and when he didn't get it decided some fun was in order. |

So I delivered the parcels of Ayres to Burns. HIs offerings to me in return: Fantastic Force Issue 1 - shiny cover Fantastic Force Issue 15 - shitty cover Blade Runner 3 hardback by K W Jeter Blade Runner 4 paperback by K W Jeter. Not his best True Friending. Offerings 1 and 2 are trifling. We shall see about 3 and 4.     |

Not his best True Friending. A bit mean to penalise the courier! I half expected him to be planning a retaliation for me, thinking I'd sprung a trap and delivered him pish, so am pleased that the majority of the sh!+e has gone to Andu. With luck he may have found me more Spitfire issues! |

Andu: I really should have thought clearer and reactivated "Operation: Triumph & Tragedy" and slung a bonus item in that box as I have the companion item for the thing I sent Burns here unopened!
