SANTA GOT STUCK IN MY CHIMNEY

SANTA GOT STUCK IN MY CHIMNEY



It seems everyone got the presents that they wished for from Santa, but I didn’t. I asked for some table tennis bats and ping pong balls but I didn’t get any. I’m inconsolable!

I’ve now found out that, on Christmas Eve, Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney while trying to deliver my table tennis bats and balls. Three days later, the emergency services are still trying to free him. They’ve assured me that they will be able to at least retrieve my table tennis bats and balls. I’m now consolable!

What was your favourite Christmas present you received and gave?
Do you have a chimney in your home?


One British man, Leo Wan, recently got stuck in a chimney. The man was out celebrating his friend’s birthday when a group of them went back to his friend’s house, as one does, to watch the sunset. Because the house’s roof terrace was full, he decided to climb up to the chimney to watch the sunset.

Below are Leo Wan’s words about his experience of getting stuck in a chimney:

I thought it would be dangerous to have my back to the chimney, so I sat on the rim with my legs dangling inside. In hindsight, that was my first mistake.

I was about to climb out when I slipped down. The flue curved, so at first I was able to stop myself. I managed to get my hands free and wave them about a bit over the top of the chimney. Everyone saw them and said, “Look at Leo, he’s so theatrical and amusing.” I’m quite a proud man, and I didn’t want to admit I was stuck in the chimney and spoil the party. But there’s only so long you can maintain a weird hand puppet show. The others got bored and didn’t notice when I slipped again, about seven feet, down to the bottom of the flue, one floor down.

I was worried, but not panicked - I just thought, “I’ve been rather silly here.” I started to shout: “Hello! Help! I’m in the chimney.” That carried on for about two hours. But nobody heard me, and eventually I could hear them all leave the party. That was a depressing moment. Then I tried to get to my phone, which was at my feet, contorting my legs and hands and trying to manoeuvre it up my body, but I kept dropping it.

The chimney was almost exactly as wide as me, and very sooty, so it was hard to get any purchase. That went on for about three hours. Thank goodness my phone still had battery. If it wasn’t for that, I’d probably still be there.

Eventually I got my phone up and called 999. “Ambulance, fire brigade or police?” they asked. “I’m stuck in a chimney”, I replied, and they repeated the question with more urgency. “I don’t know, I’ve never been here before”, I said, then decided on fire brigade.

“I’m stuck in a chimney”, I said when I got through. “You’re what?” “I’m stuck in a chimney.” “Where?” At this point I realised that I didn’t actually know where I was. I called my friend Max to ask for the address. “Why do you want that? Are you going back?” he asked. “I’m still there.” “Really? I haven’t seen you for hours!” “Yes, I’m in the chimney.”

The fire brigade took about 45 minutes to come. The first fireman on the roof declared that nobody could be down there because it was too narrow, and I was shouting “I am, honestly. Come on.” He threw down a rope and dragged me out, which is when most of my injuries occurred - the chimney was quite narrow, and my back scraped along it. I had also taken off my shoes, jeans and jacket as I tried to free myself, so I was only wearing my underwear and a shirt covered in soot. The firemen asked if they could pose for some pictures, because they had never seen anything like it. I obliged. I had been down there nearly seven hours.

What was your favourite Christmas present you received and gave? The best I gave was a simple board game,, Battleship to the boys. Shockingly they set aside their new I pads and had a blast with it. The best gift I received was a naughty, bordering on indecent proposition from one of my FWBs

Do you have a chimney in your home? I sure do, it ends in my small coal stove, watch out for a toasted a**

I think Dangermouse really loved the Winnie the Pooh soft toys I gave him. I got him Rabbit and Eeyore to complete his set.

My favourite was a beautiful orchid plant a friend gave me.....now I just have to figure out how to keep it alive!

Yes I have a chimney....and beneath it there is a fire which I light when I'm home on Winter weekends.

Now that is quite a story. Silly man.
I do have a chimney...but the only thing willing to venture it are lizards.
Best present was from my son. At 16, it was the first time he really, on his own, went out shopping for a gift for me. It was lovely and thoughtful. Even made me cry a bit.

There is a difference between a good BJ and a bad BJ.

I remember playing Battleship when I was a kid. It's a good game.

Orchids are beautiful. I hope your orchid is thriving.

    My favourite Christmas present I've ever received or given has been friendship because the only year I ever received presents of a naterial nature was 1986 (the Christmas I spent the day semi-comatose on Rohypnol and slept through), I awoke on Boxing Day and was told I had gifts. They were a few clothing items. 2 skirts and a blouse but I was not familiar with gift giving/receiving protocol and did not give a gift to the giver (receiving anything was so left of field) but I did give her a "thank you" hug the next time I saw her but could tell she felt slighted that I had nothing to give her.

    I do not have a chimney where I live now but did in the home I spent 95% of my first 20 years. Not one christmas was it ever decorated for the festive season. I hope if I can ever afford to buy a home, other than the dream home that I have spent the last 15 years perfecting the blueprints of, that it will have a chimney, if not, at least a decorative fireplace.
I have no chimney in my apartment as it was a former lace factory. The lace workers must have frozen in the winter!

I presume the lizards quickly vacate your chimney when you light the fire!
