Wireless Keyboard and Optical Mouse - This I like

Animal from the Muppets stuffed toy - This I like too

Das Experiment on DVD from my friend Kev - Excellent !

Going up to the relations now for Christmas day and I expect to get more crap.

one that got me by surprise

mother got me a 3CD Set of Gospel and Soul Music.

which is great, cos I do love that type of music, but i never expected it from her

lordsippa

Got 4 CD's <won't bother going into it but all are fantastic>, a book, a electric shaver, and money. Oh and a selection box...

Huzzah. More importantly my nephew seems to be having a gas time <it's his first real christmas> so much joy.

Guy Incognito

Jebus! I'd never get anything as expensive as some things on this thread.

Anyway, I got mostly money 'cos no one ever knows what to get me. My sister got me a brilliant one though, the Michael Moore book, Stupid White Men.

Shinji

I'm apparently pretty difficult to buy for, mostly on the basis that my folks haven't got the faintest clue about the various things I'm interested in. So they've copped on to the idea of buying me things I would never even consider buying for myself - which actually works quite well. I ended up this year with an antique gold ring, which sounds odd and is something I'd NEVER think of buying, but which I really like regardless - very unusual kind of gift.

Oh, and for myself, I bought a return ticket to Tokyo for New Years

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

got a laptop, some dvds, the new pratchett book, a video

fun fun fun

strat

Do you all sleep on a big bed of money with many, many beautiful women?

If you're feeling disgruntled, I can empty my change jar on my bed and you can stay over some night.

Agreed Dapper. What yellum said makes me sick. Ungrateful little ba$tard! :mad:

I hope your mother turned around and told you to f**k off and go and buy it on DVD yourself if you're so worried about it.

Jesus Christ, spoilt, ungrateful brats like that turn my stomach.

Remember yellum, you only have one mother and you'll be sorry when she's gone. I hope what you did today will continue to haunt you when she's passed on.

GoneShootin

bit harsh dont you think ? though I disagree with the bluntness and coldness that he used to tell his mother about the video, I think aiden that your comment is nothing but that of a jerk / lamer

Lump

Bloody hell, thank you everyone that gave me pressies.

I got lots of cool stuff that I;m not going to boast about. I am getting DVD box set of Band of brothers. I asked for it, Felt a little mean asking for it off me mam so told her she could split it with my granny or sisters. (It's 70 or 80 Euro), but to my delight she bought it all on her lonesome.

And just to let people know, my sister didnt recieve any presents from her imediate family, but asked that we give pressie money to charity.


(See christmas isn't about ones self)

Aidan you really don't know me or my life. I'm amazed how upset you can get over some stranger on a website making a post. Has the Tourettes medication worn off or something ? Why not climb down from your Ivory Tower now please.

I have a great mother and I know this. I appreciate her being there for me now and all the other years of my life. I tell her this on a daily basis. I buy her gifts a lot and spent a fortune on her this year. I hug her and tell her I love her numerous times during the day.

Saying that, I won't say thanks very much for getting me a video of the matrix with the price still on it (this bugged me more than anything else ). I actually wrote down on paper in big letters what I wanted and reminded her of the dvd bit. This was the only thing I wanted this christmas. Its not the gift that matters more than the thought and thats what pissed me off.

Spoiled brat sure.. whatever. I'm sure you are a saint to your mum.

I also got a Magic Eight Ball.

Will.....Angelwhore.....end....up...with...imprints...of.....euro..coins...on...his....skin..??

*shake shake*

Ask again later.

Stupid eight ball.

Makaveli

I dunno what the going rate for the vhs version of the matrix is but I know the dvd is €12.99. I bet your mum paid more for the video.

And aidan I suppose you got a ham sandwich or something and you were damn grateful because you hadnt eaten in two weeks.

What he said may have been rude but I dont think

I hope what you did today will continue to haunt you when she's passed on.

is really called for. It's only a present after all. :rolleyes:

Silverfish

Continuing in that vein, one year my mum bought me a stainless steel teapot. A teapot.

I still said 'Oooh, a teapot!! Thanks!!'

Another time I got a skirt for work as a birthday present from my parents. I still said 'ooohh!! A skirt for work!! Thanks!!'

It didn't hurt, and I certainly didn't hand it back.

My kid sister got a Mitsubishi Pajero Jnr jeep. That f**king hurt, I can tell you.

Little cow.

Teapot's kick arse.
Wait till you're out on your own. You'll be only to happy to have your own one that you can take with you.

I wish I had a tea pot.
A nice high end one, stainless exterior casing, ceramic interior, oak handle and wooden base so you don't leave rings on coffee tables.
i wonder how much that'd cost to make?
Must look into it.....

Jesus yellum was a bit rude but this is phenomenal.

The level of unpleasantness in that last sentence is almost toxic. What a bile-ridden oaf. Don't you hate it when the stupidest simian in the room agrees with you?

yellum, apologies for bringing this up in the first place.

Haha, not at all. It was a bit of a troll anyway. Yeah what I said was rude, but I do speak my mind a lot and it sometimes irks people.

Mostly crockery (full set plus extra bowls and mugs). No0w I know I asked for corkery, but the set would have been enought by itself.

wiensta

Okay, let me clear up a few things about what I posted.

Firstly yellum, my mother is dead. And not a day goes by that I don't think about her and things I said or did that hurt her when she was alive. So, believe me, I doknow what it's like.

Secondly, I was never a saint to her when she was alive but, by Christ, I would have never done something as rude and downright f**king ignorant as what you did to your mother on Christmas Day of all days. Over the years I did get presents that I didn't really want but I smiled and said "thank you" and kept them. And you know what? Having them here with me now and being able to look at them and think of her and the smile on her face when she gave them to me is a nice memory to have. Will you have the same momory when you look at your Matrix DVD when your mother has passed on? No. You'll think of how rude you were to her and you'll regret it. Haven't you ever heard of the expression, "It's the thought that counts"?

To Makaveli, no I didn't get a ham sandwich. I got three pairs of socks, two pairs of boxers, a Physio Sport gift pack and a sweatshirt. I might not be much compared to what some people got but it was extra nice because I didn't ask for anything and just getting it was nice and I appreciate it.

DapperGent, I'm not a "bile-ridden oaf" either. It's just that what yellum did to his mother seemed disgraceful to me and it really pissed me off and I had to reply. Okay, perhaps calling him a spoil brat might have been a bit much but, for God's sake yellum, you could have dealt with the situation with a bit more tact, don't you think.

Finally, to yellum. No, "the Tourettes medication" hasn't worn worn off but maybe my anti-depressants have. I hope you never suffer from depression or Tourette's Syndrome and have to find out first hand what it's like. Don't ever, ever make light of a medical condition unless you've suffered from it yourself.

Rant over.
