Crikey, that's a top-notch rig right there! What's with the 32GB, pretty impressive?

It was on offer for a few quid more than the 16GB kit I was originally going to get and this rig will need to last many years, my last one was getting on for 6
(some bits even older) and wouldn't of been upgraded if it wasn't for this, so I thought why not with it being so cheap atm, although for the moment it's very much overkill. Much like the rest of it.

I thought I was too young for my life to be over. I have just received my first pair of socks. Other than that, I got a spektrum dx8 transmitter for the heli's and a Gigabyte 2GB gtx 670 so quite a good haul really

And that is one helluva system! Last a good few years at least!

Very little this year, but I didn't expect much anyway.

Best "thing" is a really nice pair of trousers, otherhalf had put her new industrial sewing machine to work while I was at work.
Took apart a pair of old cavalry breaches I picked up a while back to make a pattern (which didn't fit but I thought I could alter) and she made me a new pair that do fit
And all I got her was a new small keyboard, although I also cooked xmas dinner as well, so she's spent all day curled up on the sofa with the tv and my laptop.

I got a Nexus 7. And 3 pairs of Large pants from Primark. When I met my wife I had a 30" waist, so small pants. 9 years later, and after 3 years of lifting weights I'm up to about 33", so Medium. I'm a bit offended that my own wife apparently thinks I'm a 36" waist lardarse .

As for the N7- it immediately updated itself to Android 4.2.1. I bought NFS Most Wanted for 73p just to checkout its capabilities. Suggestions for other tablet killer games/apps would be most welcome .
