So, what did you all get, if anything?
I haven't bothered to open everything yet, but so far, I have a nice Oakley jumper, and as if by coincidence, a Vestel based Hitachi branded hard disk video recorder :lol:. OK, so this one has a 320GB hard drive whereas my Humax has only a 160GB drive, but the chances of me actually filling either up are pretty limited as I tend to delete programmes once I have watched them.
I got some chocolates, Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss underwear, that's it :)
EDIT: Oh forgot this one, I also got Chanel Allure deodorant spray.
I've bought Red Dead Redemption for me.
Can't stand up from the couch. :lol:
The game is really great, I was a bit sad though when the main story was finished. So my advice would be to do as much as possible besides the main story, take your time, and don't forget to try everything out!!
(capturing and tying someone and then setting him/her on fire is not only nasty... :lol:)
I actually had a great Christmas this year for presents. Some are combined Christmas/Birthday presents, but that is fine with me.
- Nintendo DSi-XL (limited editiion Mario 25th Ann in red) (works perfectly with the Acekart2i I recently purchased).
- Cordless Black and Decker Power Drill.
- Star Wars The Making of Empire Strikes Back (brilliant book for any SW fans)
- Star Wars The Complete Vader
- 2011 Star Was and Clone Wars Annuals (great for any collector)
- R2D2 lego pen
- Couple of Terry Pratchett Discworld novels
- The Treasures of Formula One book
- Hat and Scarf
- Some FCUK deodorant and shower gel
- Some chocolate and other sweats
- ...
Off Topic
As you mentioned now, I can see that a lot of gifts are Star Wars based, 2 days ago I saw the book The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, which looks awesome, it has 1232 pages. You can get it for 40£ at Amazon, quite cheap I think.

Not quite a christmas present, but I just bought myself one of these: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/...-bike-ec019408
Kind of a late christmas present/early birthday present from me :).
It arrived yesterday. Can't wait to try it out.
Nice looking bike. So did you get that white one... or are you secretly now the owner of the pink one shown in the other version links at the bottom? ;) :lol:
You're quite into your bike's then steve. Did you ever start the driving lessons you mentioned a while back? Or decided to stick with self propulsion and the bus?
I ordered the 3 Family Guy Star Wars episodes on Blu-Ray in a box, watched the trailers, looked quite funny. Have to say that I'm not into the Family Guy stuff, never really watched it, but the trailers from the Star Wars episodes really looked funny. Got dispatched yesterday.

I got the white one. The Allez does also come in red, but only on the double chainring versions. I do prefer red, but the triple chainring ones are either silver or white.Quote:

Only problem was that it was quite big, so I had to cycle home with a big yellow thing sticking out of my rucksack.
I did start driving lessons back in 2008 a couple of months after I got my driving license. I did make good progress, but I stopped in the summer of 2008 due to lack of money. I never continued as I found better things to spend my money on.
I probably could start driving lessons again. I have a bit more money now and my Dad has offered to help pay for it, but I don't think I will bother. My driving instructor was good, but in order for me to learn how to use the car properly etc, it will take quite a bit more practise than a 1 hour lesson per week. And there isn't really any other way to practise short of having lots of driving lessons, and that would soon get very expensive.
The first Star Wars Family Guy they did, called "Blue Harvest" (named after the pre-production script name for the original Star Wars film) was brilliant. I also don't like Family Guy and never watch it, but found these Star Wars features great. You don't need to really know the actual cartoon characters that much to still find it really funny.Quote:

I got lots of vouchers for modlezone, so brought myself an RC plane. I got Hershy Chocholate and an ITV 2010 F1 book. some smellys and a nice 12yr old bottle of single malt scotch whiskey. and a fishing mug. Also won 4 tickets the SFX Weekender event at camber sands next month but cant go as noone wants to come! (you want them H?)
I still want to know why Harrison put ... in the list. Maybe he got something for christmas which he is too embarassed to tell us about? :lol:Quote:
