A surprise!

wheresthebeef

money and surprises.

John

I got a couple of effects pedals for my guitar to go with the amp I bought for my birthday. Oh and a coat I think.

Time Magazine

A surprise, from the unfortunate member of the family who was designated the duty of supplying me with gifts this Chrimbo.

Although the girlfriend got me great presents; Bloc Party's album, a book about Google, enough plecs to get me through another year, smelly Hugo Boss stuff so I won't complain about the price per millilitre anymore, and bracelets.

Andrew 83

Don't know what I'm getting but if I get money I'll be buying myself the Jack Charlton: The Ireland Years DVD.

snorlax

clothes hopefully

Thirdfox

New fountain pen... *drools?*

If you're in need of clothes I can give you some of mine Snorlax

xeduCat

A student card. And one of them things from Men in Black to wipe out the last six months.

Dave_Chair

Very good. I'll have the book about Google in our post-Christmas gift-swapping...! Smelly Hugo Boss stuff is powerful tack, it has to be said. I'll be getting the girlfriend's (phew, nearly put the apostrophe after the "s"...) presents tonight, so I shall reserve judgement, even though there's odds of around 2/1 I could name the lot, due to my excellent reading-like-a-book skills. Other gifts arriving include a year's subscription to The Economist, some money (methinks/mehopes), and several surprises, which are usually really excellent or really dire.

Never! I have a prezzie for our internal Christmas-gift raffle already. Don't forget to have one for the new term.

It won't be you who's getting the attention from now one .

It's okay, you can call me your girlfriend. And my aforementioned present is great!

even though there's odds of around 2/1 I could name the lot, due to my excellent reading-like-a-book skills.

How'd you do?

That's great to hear! You can get it re-directed to the sixth row of the Ed Burke so I don't have to renew .

snorlax

Your words, not mine. And, as ever, I shall reserve judgement.

What a strange question to ask! ...*coughs* 7... you know what they say small shoes - big brains (and hence wages )

snorlax

im size 7.5 on one foot and 7 on the other side...what's the average size for fellas? i think it's about 5/6 for girls...

Nietzschean

man thats bloddy tiny........... thats like same size as women or something...

John

I thought my size 9 was small (although I am wide )

ApeXaviour

Found out what my surprise was (well obviously). A banjo...


Deadly


I'm size 9 in some shoes, 10 in others. Wide like John II

Andrew 83

Your foot is meant to be the same size as the distance from your elbow to your wrist (try it if you don't believe this, i did and it's true) so it must be unusual to have two feet that differ very much in size.

Thirdfox

Hmm... maybe the being Asian and all kinda results in small feet... and btw I tried the elbow thing... didn't work!

snorlax

well im not complaining about my feet as they're useful for the long jump but awful when trying to buy heels with pointy ends.

Wanna join my band? We've already got a mandolin player.

Didn't work for me, my foot is shorter than my elbow to wrist length.

Scarinae

A trampoline! And lots of money *drools*

cuckoo

My foot is also shorter than the elbow thing. So, do i have freakishly long forearms or dwarf feet?

Screw Santa - i converted some of my present bootie (money from relatives) and some of the wages i'll be getting in a week and a half (ahh, plastic money) into an Iaudio X5L 30GB mp3 player. i think these feelings i have for my new piece of technology could be love...

Well I gotta learn to play it first. Quite different than the ol geetar

John

I agree with your second point but strenuously disagree with your first.

So you would take someone who owns an instrument but doesn't know how to play it?

Or was that some form of extremely subtle humour I didn't quite grasp?

Yes. Once you get in the groove it doesn't matter how good you are.

rsynnott

It is interesting that in this modern world shoe sizing STILL hasn't been standardised in any sensible way. Size 11 (or 12, sometimes). Though clothes sizes in general seem to be horribly poorly standardised.

Pet

what size shoe are you?

Wow, you get right down to the point, snorlax.

Thirded. Shoe sizes are stupid, they hardly ever work.

Respect! So good to see a girl that doesn't make straight for the iPoo..

They took me didn't they!

Literally and figuratively.
