Awesome name for a band - Rapid Eye Movement. Brilliant. I love that name. Strange, but fantastic.

And I was given in total a grand (£1000) - £20 from my father, £100 from my wife, money from all my friends, rest of family, people that wanted to stay on my good side because they think I'll give them money for sucking up to me, etc. It all totalled to just five pounds over a grand.

But my mother? She misses the good old days where I was given a tangerine for Christmas, so she got me what could be a modern day tangerine - a Wii. I said to her 'I almost bought one the other day, and I appreciate the thought, but now you're helping me make space, as one of the controllers are motion sensitive'. She thoguht I was joking and laughed. Unfortunately, I don't have much time for the Wii because of my job, but at least now I can say: 'Fuck you, Sony PS3'. This has been the first Christmas in twenty years that I have received something other than money.

Re: Laptop
 

Same here =), got windows vista home premium.

I got a new screen for my PC too.

I'll list all I can remember.

An Xbox 360, with Harry Potter 5 (BLECH!), and Eternal Sonata. I went downtown and bought Halo 3, which I shall play later.

The Nightmare on Elm Street DVD set, Harry Potter 1 and 3 on DVD.

Wii T-Shirt, Sonic sweatband, Mario stylus/pen.

Some deodorant and aftershave, and lots of chocolates. Oh and don't forget that nice shiney guitar.

Yeah, I got a lot of the stuff I wanted. Happy. =)

Simpsons boxers, Mr. T shirt that is silk-screened to say "I got no time fo' the Jibba Jabba!', A large Bionicle, Exactly one Metric Fuckton of Tea, A new MP3 player,a housecoat, a fucking enormous towel, black Jeans (brutal), Hypnotize by SoaD, which I CAN'T RIP ONTO MY MP3 PLAYER FUCK, another MP3 player (from my families friends), Futurama: Bender's Big score (Which didn't have a motherfucking disk in it.) Books:

(List of Books:) My Boring Ass Life-Kevin Smith,John Dies at the End Paperback-OH GOD I LOVE THIS BOOK,Shadow of The Wind, White Dwarf and Futurama (Magazines), Our Dumb World, byt the Onion (which is excruciatingly funny)

Try setting up your computer to not autoplay CDs, then put it back in and rip. In the event that it has already installed something on your computer to block ripping, try doing it on a clean computer.

D:

Fucking Nerd.

Forgive the extremely sexist and traditional society in which i was bought up in but really shouldn't that be the other way round :p. Money makes a shit present anyway like chocolates; no thought in it. At least with gift vouchers your loved one strategically chooses the shop you will never buy from.

Xbox 360 (I can finally play Munch again!)
Halo 3
iPod nano video
money
clothes
candy, other stuff

WHAT? Money is an awesome present! Anyway, I got her a bottle of perfume. That's the perfect gift for a woman at Christmas. It's there so that you don't have to put any thought into it at all (in other words, it makews things easy). She's happy with it, anyway.

Don't even start.











NE?

Wow. It's good to know that you and your wife are so in love that neither of you feels the need to put any thought into the gifts you give each other.

Save time, get a divorce.

Jesus christ.

Table Tennis table, Table Tenis bats, Table Tenis balls, some computer games and wads of cash.

Transformers!!

And anyway Bionicles are awesome. I was actually tempted to buy one of the new ones because I had many of them when I was a little smaller.

Which one is it? A 2007 Titan or a 2008 Toa Ignika? I hear he's turning up early stateside.

'Blankets'. It's kind of an autobiography in graphic novel form by Craig Thompson, and definitely worth a look if you want to see how sequential art should be done.

KORROK THE CONSUMING KORROK THE BELIEVING KORROK THE INFINITE

Wow, you actually bought him? I heard Lego jacked up the price due to his Solid-Gold construction.

I got
A Didgeridoo
Lord of the Rings Rise of the Witch King-PC
Mass Effect-360
Assasin's Creed-360
Beautiful Katamari-360
Mario Galaxy-Wii
Resident Evil, Umbrella Chronicle-Wii
Wii Zapper
Ratatouille
A Boomerang
Some Arrows
A Robe and some Slippers
Some Candy
Call of Duty 4-360
I like My Didgeridoo the most :)

It's nothing like that - it just makes things easier. You'd understand if you knew my wife. She's so sodding awkward at times. You ask her what she'd like (so that you could get her something that wouldn't disappoint her), and she just asks what I'd want. So we don't have to put thought into what to get each other. We just make sure that we can get through Christmas without ending up broke. Fortunately, I'm £1000 richer, and I'm not very rich at all, so I consider myself lucky.

oh year, and chuck in a alava lamb, with extra bulb plz. I am waiting for it to blow up and set my room on fire :/
Well, I hate getting money for Christmas, I just think there isnt any though gone into it. Though it is kinda better then gettin' a present that you hate, like a kitten or somthing.

I was on exchange at the time, so a book of photography and the origin of interesting idioms and words from my parents, an italian jumper and italian herbs christmas deceration ball from my host family, an italian capricorn mini statue thing and a game boy arcade thing from their family freinds, and when I got home, Masseffect.
But going to Italy was a christmas and birthday present in it'self.

So you preferred which presents?

I got a Digital Stills Camera, A Huge Voice Interactive Dalek, Frasier season 2 6 and 7, Cheers Season 1, The Godfather Collection, Extras: The Complete Series, A Flanimal (Munge Ambler), pleanty of books, The Simpsons Game for Nintendo DS and a Spider-Spud (I collect Mr Potato Head. They come in handy when you have kids around the house)

Oh yeah, I got a digital camera aswell for christmas. :)

I got quite a bit really. Some generic girly things like soap, shampoo, perfume, etc. But I also got some DVDs [Back to the future, Beetlejuice and Kikujiro <3], some NDS games, some money [bwahahahaha!] and alot of CDs [Sppice Girls, AVA, Sublime, Alice in Chains, Scouting For Girls, Blink-182 & BoxcarRacer].

Pretty generic but still fun. :)
