    I got a monkey.

    Not a terribly original gift to give me... but this particular monkey has sentimental value... so it's one of the sweetest things I've ever received.

    What I asked for- Blackadder boxed set

    What I got from the old pair- A gigantic book on famous Irish speeches. With the price tag of e30 still stuck on it. Uh....thanks. I have no idea why I was given such an extravagent present in something I had shown absolutely no interest in.
    Podge and Rodge Ballydung Bible(actually pretty good)
    Podge and Rodge talk show season 2( ****e)
    Pyjamas(I get these every year,sigh)

    Normally I wouldn't be too bothered but my brothers and sisters who are also home for christmas got expensive Wii games or High School Musical paraphenalia.

    Good presents I got- 28 weeks later from one brother, a Bush poster from my sister and Call of Duty 2 from another brother.

    Oh man... I was trying to buy some of the stuff from their Imortalle range for my mother... but apparently I tried to purchase one of their shelf displays... the staff really thought I was thick and started really talking down to me.

    "YES.. YOU CAN BUY THESE BOTTLES HERE.... AND WE WILL WRAP THEM FOR YOU." The said slowly to me...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Yeah they can be a bit snobby, I remember frantically trying to find cheap Christmas presents last year and I went in and asked if they had anything under a tenner and they just smirked and said no :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,964 ✭✭✭✭tk123

    From looking at it, I wouldnt say it's as pretty as Mario Sunshine.
    My brother got it and he loves it although I'm still unconvinced.

    Seeing as I knew he'd be wanthing to play it, I turned on the Wii and had a marathon session in order to finish Zelda Twilight Princess in order for my brothers to play the games they got for christmas. I was up until 6am playing it and finally finished it. I spent as much time playing on Zelda in the week before christmas as I did at work and boxing training combined.

    Best christmas eve ever was last year when I was living in Belgium and went to play with the aul band. The bassist had just got a Wii in when they were impossible to be found and we spent six hours playing on it.

    Good times.
