What did Santa bring as your main pressie?
 
I got a Garmin nuvi 200W GPS. Pretty good.
One thing I am confused with is that on the box it says UK & Ireland but when I turn it on I can set routes to hundreds of towns in Europe including Russia. OK so you can't put an address in for Moscow but at least I can get there. Thing is do any guys here know where I can get free maps etc as Garmin ones are expensive. Mainly I am looking for a decent topographical UK map for geo caching. I have found a few sites but there are few instructions on how to do it?

Oh I got "Discover Yourself in Battle". Now tell me who wrote that and maybe I'll be nice online next time. Hint: It's a book.

I got £200 towards a new laptop. (and as luck would have it, there's a nice one on sale tomorrow for £400)

My sister gets the best presents. I got American Dad Season 2, Miami Vice Season 1 and a Jake Delhomme figure from her. :rock:

It should be 5 discs!

A bottle of Auchentoshan, 21 years, and a Martha Argarich recording of Rachmaninov's 3rd piano concert: beats Jorge Bolet's recording hands-down, and maximum speed and maximum risk playing. An MG fires slow bullets, compared to her play. :doh:

Maybe it depends on which side of the Atlantic you're on, but it only has four.

One for the final cut. One for the making of. One for the three previously released versions, and one 'enhancement' archive disc.

Enhough to keep my DVD player busy. :p

Nothing. I dont get christmas presents havn't for years now I give my sons money and thats it. My sons know not to give me a present just a hug and pat on the back is good enough :) Well how i see it them just been around me is a christmas present everyday, even though at times they drived me up the wall. Anyways who am i going to get presents from? Both parents are long gone, my sisters are into their lives on a good day they might remember to send me a card and theres no way i would expect a christmas present from my ex wife:rotfl: and she definatley wouldn't get one from me.
The neigbours always wish me Christmas and sometimes invite me over for dinner:D.

In fact i had a good Christmas believe it or not. Cooked us a roast lamb, had a few beers with my eldest son and played World of Warcraft all day raiding with my Guild:up:

:D

Oh, lovely.

I couldn't spend Christmas with my girlfriend, so we opened presents to each other over the phone :)
She got me a beautiful medal, given to Soviet troops at the end of WW2. Knows me well :D
