When I was looking at what to gift my match, I stumbled across the concept of the 'Pocket Pint' - a telescopic pint glass that you can fit in your pocket or extend into a full cup to consume alcoholic beverages from.

Intrigued and amused, I considered picking one up for those times when you and some friends decide to go back to your teenage years and sit by the Thames at Richmond and consume a number of beers whilst watching the thunder storms (Can you guess how I spent my Friday night?)

In the end however, I decided to wait on it, see what I got, and gave my own match the Boot (I'm such a punny guy...). Well anyway, back to the story...

So I have my parents address listed on my profile (or I did at the time, I updated it now) because I was in the process of moving house, and wasn't sure what it would be like getting items sent to my new address (it turns out our doorbell didn't work so this was definitely for the best!). I was heading down to my parents at the weekend after gifts had to be sent, so figured I'd be OK. What I didn't figure was that My mother, seeing a parcel for 'M Surname' would assume it was for my brother, stationed in Germany and not pick it up for my return! (We have the same firstname).

So I left on Sunday with firm instructions for her to pick it up, take some photos and forward them to me (All in our usual friendly banterous manner). I then, the next day, recieved my pictures and I was CHUFFED!

My gifter got me one of the afore-mentioned telescopic pocket pints and also £3.20 to buy myself a pint! AWESOME! Thank you very much gifter!
