    What didn't you get for Christmas?

    Just a quick note whilst the turkey's cooking...

    I didn't get:

    - A tartan waistcoat
    - Three hundred metres of fishing line
    - A diabetic sofa
    - My own private area of the sea
    - A racist swan
    - Kettering
    - A three-week holiday in a monastery
    - A packet of sobbing chocolate digestives
    - An effigy of myself with the eyes replaced with raisins

    What didn't you get?

    on a more serious note, I never got a:

    42" Plasma/LCD
    Upscaling DVD player
    PS3
    Nintendo Wii
    XBox 360
    Intel Core2Duo, RAM, Graphics Card, PSU, etc

    Mustn't have been a good boy this year, or Santa just thinks I'm cheeky
