What did Santa bring as your main pressie?

XabbaRus · 12-25-07, 06:58 PM

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?

Money, 2 flasks full of booze and a book about the battle of Raate road where finns annihiliated the 44th infantry divisions with much lesser force.

Well dunno much about gps but my main present this year was a pair of garfield socks.

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.

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

.

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

I hoped for an Inter Milan season ticket and return flights for every match - but all I got was 5 packets of wine gums
