    As for my Christmas





    Plus various chocolate, smelly stuff, t-shirts, socks, tickets to an Amateur Transplants gig with my girlfriend, some music and a bit of cash. Gone pretty well actually, first time I've asked for video games in years now!

    Can't remember what else as it wasn't as good

    Oh, and Red Dead Redemption (was going to get it in the new year as the GOTY but oh well)

    Re: Who got what for Chrimbo - bragging rights thread

    Didn't get much as usual (no relatives here ) but got a really nice watch from my girlfriend when I did not expect it and money from parents (as usual).

    Bought myself some headphones (seems to be lost with the royal mail.. been 15 days ), some new style of clothing (long military coat and boots) and a new pc.

    Is this starting flying or starting your wife?

    When do you start the flying? It's something I wouldn't mind trying, need a bit more money though.

    Re: Who got what for Chrimbo - bragging rights thread

    It's only a voucher for a single lesson, and I can organise it for any time this year. It is something I would love to do more of, and eventually get my pilots license (I flew when I was about 14 or 15 in the cadets), but that's going to have to wait a number of years, no way I can afford it for the foreseeable future.

    Re: Who got what for Chrimbo - bragging rights thread

    I got nothing as im a poor orphan with no-one to love me (violins please)

    So if anyone wants to donate a few of their gifts (only the expensive ones if you don`t mind) to the orphan charity that im patron and only member of then it would be very much appreciated.

    Yours.
    Tiny Tim.

    I wouldn't mind, but people always buy me socks I'm never going to wear. You wouldn't have thought there was that much variation in the sock world, but oh no!
