Christmas: so what the fuck did you get?

[Gagger]

Let's get down to business - so who got what?

Titles of bestest and shitest presents to be claimed

 

[MrTimms]

Full HD Video camera and a new pushy.

Oh, not the ones I got for myself?

A book.

Can I claim both?

 

[RugbyReg]

a digital Dictaphone!

 

[Bruce Ross]

2 books

3 shirts

6 bottles of red wine

and what I most enjoy at Xmas ...

peace and bloody quiet.

 

[sevenpointdropgoal]

Scotch, gin, red wine, cook books (I love cooking, and the Pet Shop Boys - I apologize for nothing!), shoes, new glasses (the drinking kind), and a new phone from the girlfriend.

I also have two 450g 100 day grain fed, dry aged rib eye steaks, obtained from Hudson Meats for the sum of one arm and one leg. And piles of beer. And puerco pibil. And a selection of good cheese. And chimichurri. And chilli and garlic prawns. And a larb. And, like Bruce, no-one to bother me.

Oh yeah! I have all the tastiness! Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves.

I may have already had a couple of beers. Hehe.

 

[Gagger]

I'll be there within an hour

 

[DPK]

Any doco lovers out there? I got the complete "The World at War" series: mwha, beautiful.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

I got the outlaws for Xmas. They're here now. Pray for me boys.

 

[rustycruiser]

It's not Christmas yet (at least for another 2 minutes here in the US)

 

[en_force_er]

The 3 family guy Star Wars parodies on DVD, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, some dollars and some new threads.

What can I say, I'm a child at heart and I think I lucked out.

 

[Moses]

I got a very nice espresso machine and grinder. Can't believe how good the coffee that comes out of it is.

Hoping for more lycra Gagger?

Once you have decent coffee at home you never go back Moses. We've never regretted getting our machine.

I'd always been a fan of the plunger, but this is a whole new world.

I got the Mrs a mountain bike, now I need to get a child seat for mine..

 

[cyclopath]

I had my head surgically replaced by a beer in a G&GR stubby cooler. You pop the top, and it just drains down your throat. Very efficient. Hard to type though, due to the lack of eyes.

When you're drinking all that beer you probably wouldn't be able to see all that well anyway, I'd count it as a win.

There are certainly upsides...

 

[RugbyReg]

also got a ticket (for 2) to Melbourne.

obviously I will try to tie it into a Rebels game.

obviously I expect to get overruled.

You could go for the first game of the season, meet up with the crew going down already and best of all you get to cheer for the mighty Tahs!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Best thing about today. An afternoon at the beach. Gotta love Sydney.

Back to Chez Jarse to a roast Turkey and a celebratory bottle of bollinger with La Jarse.

There are nephew and niece Jarses freezing their bollocks off in Europe at the moment. Poor buggers.
I thought of them as my bare feet were getting scorched by the footpath en route to the beach.

Best present received was a USB turntable to digitize my collection of vinyl records.

Worst was a bottle of Blended Scotch whiskey. ( warning serious Single Malt Snob, blended scotch is for donation to the school tombola raffle, or for the outlaws when they visit to keep them away from the Islay Single Malts)

So the pressie line up...

- An EKG watch for when I'm exercising. Will try that out on the bike tomorrow.
- A couple of books, which mostly look interesting (one is a Rockwiz Q&A book, a show I love to bits)
- Money to put towards my new camera
- Some Wolf Blass Grey Label cabernet

Not too bad. I told people not to buy too much, I've got most of the gadgets and other stuff that I want.
