A recorder, bontempi play by numbers keyboard and accoustic guitar a string broke on within a week with nothing but 20 year old guitar sheet music and no clue where to start. No music lessons for me. Attempt aged about 30 to learn guitar aborted when decided didnt have the fingers for it.

I would have loved aged 8 to have been sent to church to learn the guitar but atheist parents :-( That keyboard could make a fair racket. I forgot the other Xmas present instrument of the 70s - electronic stylophone. That killed everything.

Oh my yes the stylophone! Had one of those too.

My mam is right into the church but I was developing my music taste and comebyya wasn’t hitting it.

I always wanted one if those keyboards with the built in rhythms- bossanova etc. We had a piano though, so it was never even considered as a potential present.

I had a Stylophone too. As I was (more so then than now) fond of dabbling with electronics, I wired in a couple of extra controls to modify the Stylophone’s already weird sound. It gave me great pleasure but I’m not too sure that others were so pleased!

There’s a stylophone boxed in a chest in our bedroom upstairs! I never quite got the hang of it and since the demise of a certain Aussie artist, Well I think maybe I should just give it to the second hand shop, not sure why I’m hanging on to it!

I still have my Stylophone too. Yes, I remember that certain Aussie advertising it. I also had a Bontempi Organ as a child that had a series of chord buttons on the left hand side. It was very loud.

jelly I think that may be worth a few bob if it’s still boxed as well.

I don’t think we can take any other latecomers so the finish line is drawn.

About This Thread

Instructions for the 2021 edition of Fetch Secret Santa:

1) Send an Fmail to geordiegirl with the name and address you want your parcel sent to by 1st November.

Please indicate if you’re ok to post to an overseas fetchie.

2) Join the group linked to this thread (I have recycled 2020 group so please update with a 2021 at the start so we know it is current)
fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1296

If you joined last year but don’t wish to partake you can remove yourself from the group.

3) Be Involved..... Please try not to go AWOL the buying of a SS gift is a lovely thing to do but going quiet on the thread/blogs can make it difficult. We’re not asking you to be specific but a few hints around what things make you tick, what you like / enjoy makes it that bit easier and hopefully gets you something you would like.

Of course the main aim is stalking so subtle hints are fine!

4) if you have allergies or particular dislikes then feel free to put them in the group.....

When you receive the details of your victim:

5) Stalk said victim and determine their interests.

Hint.. you can see what threads your victim posts to by typing the below in Google or whatever

VictimsFetchName site:www.fetcheveryone.com

6) Purchase gift(s) you think they will like, we have suggested £10 but up to you and remember handmade gifts are perfect too. It’s the thought that counts.

7) I’m suggesting you post the gift by 1st December as this has helped a successful SS in previous years. But it’s also ok to add an update to the spreadsheet and keep your elf updated so we can let your victim know they’ve not been forgotten. If you are posting overseas please bear in mind it can take longer than UK post.

8) Wait by your post box for your gift.

9) Sit on hands until the big day! No cheating!

On the big day:

10) Open your gift and share with everyone what you got on the thread.
