So, Christmas didn't turn out so badly after all. No Xmas shag though, which was a resounding disappointment, buy hey! Xmas lunch was superb - I was up at Shell's parents and they served ham and beef that had spent a few weeks in the butchers pickling jar. Fantastic taste - but made for some vomit inducing visits to the toilet the next day. Man - were they ripe!
And now, the all important pressie list:
Clothes
YSL T-shirt
Nickelson T-shirt
Next long sleeve T-shirt
Ben Sherman jacket
Ringspun Blazer with Black Sabbath thing on the back
2x T-shirts from Rhiannon
Misc
Scooby Doo Cyber Chase board game (from Chandler)
Terrys Dark Chocolate Orange (from the kids)
Oral-B electric toothbrush
Thorntons Dark Chocolates
Leather travel organiser
Pierre Cardin Wallet
A funnel
A "Fancy a shag" bath sheet
Travel Chess
Homer Simpson Choc-Marshmallow Mug
Bottle of "Death" Chili Sauce
Bottle of Captain Morgans Rum
Tube of smarties
Bench watch
Potty Putter (golf for when you are on the toilet)
Books
Man Walks into a Bar: The Ultimate Collection of Jokes and One-liners
The unpublished milligan Box 18
Horror: The Complete Guide to the Cinema of Fear
"I am Jackie Chan" autoboiography
Rock Legends boxset (Bios of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith,
AC/DC and Status Quo)
Captain underpants collection (8 books)
Not a bad haul, eh?
Next year will be considerably less, as there will more than likely be no-one to buy for me apart from the kids and a couple of friends. Which is kind of sad, but also means that my Xmas expenditure will be considerably reduced due to having less people to buy for!
The funniest thing over Xmas - on Boxing Day, seeing a Robosapien beat up and stamp the crap out of a small wall-climbing robot. Superb!
I was back at work today and actually had some calls in to sort out - which was quite amazing. The RoI have a Bank Holiday, so I am currently the only network person who is in (all the UK guys are on holiday).
Sad news is that James Brown died on Xmas Day. What a legend...
I'll probably update before the New Year, but if not - have a good one :)
btw I'm feeling a lot better now than I was in my last post. Thanks for the comments.
