Posted December 25, 2008 Had a great day today Was out at a local pub last night for the Christmas party and saw loads of people I haven't seen in ages which was great, got home totally sober (was driving) at half 12ish and went straight to bed as my family were already in bed. Somehow I got a lie in until about 8am as my sister didn't wake up until then. Came down, opened my stocking and got a few cool wee things I needed, pens and stuff mainly. Then got my main present from my parents, new speakers which was the only 'big' thing I asked for. Then went to church which was a rather poor service if I'm perfectly honest, wish I'd gone last night instead now (knew I shouldn't have trusted the Protestant service!). Afterwards went straight over to my cousins and had Christmas lunch there and spent the rest of the afternoon there socialising. Opened presents there from my grand and cousins families. Got a white board (well it's actually a glass board) (one of the things that teachers write on and then can rub off) which is what I wanted for my room in Glasgow. Also got a nice hot chocolate mug and hot chocolate making stuff. Came home about an hour ago and opened presents from my siblings and got the poster I've been wanting for ages; the Radiohead OK Computer posted with some of the lyrics from 'Fitter Happier' at the top. All in all it's been a great day, thoroughly enjoyed it, topped off by a fantastic lunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 25, 2008 Stuff received for Christmas Thought it were easier to take a picture than to write it all down. Edit: The Top Gear box-set i got has the fixed Challenges DVD, so no more moving onto the next one halfway through the current challenge. Edit: Not pictured was £140 cash presents.

Posted December 25, 2008 C'maaan, don't bullshit me! I'm not sure whether that's sarcastic, or just a really flawed comment on your part. The book in question corectly acknowledged both Like A Prayer and Ray Of Light by Madonna (and another album by her, that I wouldn't agree was her best by any means...maybe it was just "important")... --- I forgot I also got a really cool T-shirt, and purple and black checked shirt.

Posted December 25, 2008 I got numerous things but nothing beats the best surprise present I've ever received: That's right folks, an official lightsaber replica. My God it made me cream when I turned it on. I'm hoping the youtube thing works, if not! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MAdxWDEIqZ0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Videos of me as pretending to be Luke Skywalker are yet to come. I just need a costume now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think right now you can get them for about half the price I paid or it I think (and I bought it in 2005 apparently, still have the order confirmation in my email box, haha). =P Apparently I bought the Anakin Skywalker Lightsaber Ep III FX one though... yeah.

Posted December 25, 2008 haha oh dear, shame on you pooki! Although let's face it I would do exactly the same if I got something like that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 25, 2008 I got Guitar Hero: World Tour, the Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing, Don't Sleep, There are Snakes (book about a crazy language by a linguist who is himself quite possibly crazy), season 7 of Family Guy, a technical book on Chomskyan syntax, some choclatey things. Oh, and a really odd shirt from my grandparents... Some cool things overall, methinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 25, 2008 My sister bought me Sia's album Colour The Small One — fantastic! — and a book, Jim: The Nine Lives of A Dysfunctional Cat — very funny and true to life. From my parents I got some chocolate and a few toiletries. I also received Valkyria Chronicles for the PS3 from, erm, me. It doesn't look like my brother's doing presents this year, although that's hardly surprising given the debt he's in. Strange how he can always afford to go out drinking, though. Funny, that.

Posted December 26, 2008 I got; Pure, Mirrors Edge, Dead Space, Banjo Kazooie N&B, LocoRoco2, a couple of books (including the new Jeremy Clarkson, woot) some clothes, and most importantly: Awesome gaming chair. Only slight problem is it's a little low if I'm sitting upright playing, but most of the time I'm slouching and reclining back so it's fine. Speakers are awesome - looking forward to giving Dead Space a blast with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 26, 2008 I didn't get socks...I don't think I ever have. They just aren't very thoughtful a present (if given generically, or whatever the term is). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 26, 2008 I got 3 pairs - but to be fair to Santa - they are patterned in a lovely manner, and are actually interesting to wear / look at. I think lovely socks are essential to live life to its fullest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
