So what did Santa bring you?

Merry Christmas! :hat:

I know it's early but I thought I'd start this because starting a thread that could possibly go beyond 3 pages would be a great present for me!

So what did Santa bring you? Don't be afraid to post pictures!!

Fucking merry xmas you evil cunt

Runcle · **Posted:** Fri Dec 25, 2009 2:46

so far I have had myself looking mockingly at a xmas service while my parents watch whilst discussing the difference of angels and archangels with my dad.

I decided that archangels seem to be understudies to the angels so they seem to be the workers of the call centre whilst the angels are the team leaders of the call centre. Also the archangels are probably earning about 16k a year, its hard to put an estimate of the angels salary. My dad seemed to like this analogu despite him being a bit ctaholicy.

Brilliant! I asked Ange to marry me on her birthday, and she was so shocked and confused that she said yes too. Result!

Amusingly I bought my mum some games this christmas. Jewel Quest 2 and Peggle Nights.

My lovely Wiff has bought me some sketching pencils and pads, a mini whisky selection and some smelly candles.

I'm still in bed. As are the rest of my family.

What are you all? Children?

I might open my secret Santa gift. I left it in my bedroom.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Fri Dec 25, 2009 11:50

Nice work, The Vision!

I have not yet opened my pressies, though last week I got a nice Diesel T-shirt and some posh wine and a voucher to let me do Tank Paintball.

Looking forward to the rest of the presents this afternoon. I'm in Ireland, so I hope I don't just get a potato!

ltia · **Posted:** Fri Dec 25, 2009 11:52

I got one of my favourite Dr Whos evar - The War Games. Total running time - 244 minutes. Oh man!

Runcle · **Posted:** Fri Dec 25, 2009 11:54

I have got slippers. They are lovely, they make me look 70 though.

I don't understand. When I was younger, I had to drag my parents out of bed, being up several hours earlier than they were. This year, my mum has been up since 7am. I'm still in bed.

No, fuck that shit right off.

I got some cheese. Stilton, to be precise.

I can has got:
-a posh new shirt
-a posh new fleece
-a posh new sweater
-embroidered handkerchiefs
-Space Invaders socks
-the Top Gear 'Where's The Stig?' book
-The 'Homer Simpson' book of Homer Simpson facts about Homer Simpson. Homer Simpson.

So yes, an OLD 30 YEAR OLD MAN'S collection of presents, as far removed from the iPods, GAME vouchers and drunken nights in a club with members of Dirty Sanchez as you can get.

Kate's mother has decided it would be hilarious to get her three daughters Twilight calendars. And all three other halves (myself included) are understandably horrified at being faced with all this phoney teen girl angst leering at us for the next 12 months.

Congratumaltions Mr and (soon to be) Mrs TheVision! Now, go watch Ed Byrne on last nights Live at the Apollo.

Haven't opened ours yet - too busy making Christmas dindins.

nickachu · **Posted:** Fri Dec 25, 2009 16:33

Possibly sunday or monday.
Stay tuned.

myp · **Posted:** Fri Dec 25, 2009 17:43

I got beer, money, Brutal Legend, pyjamas, lantern, chocolate, Family Guy and Saw V DVDs, Stig mug and WWE annual.

I'm having massive buyer's remorse as Ange and my sister are absolutely murdering Take That SingStar.

Malc74 · **Posted:** Fri Dec 25, 2009 18:20

I got a couple of sweaters, $100 worth of EB Games gift cards, a beard trimmer and a metric fuckton of British sweeties, cakes and crisps, not to mention 6 cans of Irn Bru!
I will have no room for Christmas Dinner.

Yep, socks and a novelty tie it was. A slightly very tipsy Mrs. EoaE did promise that I could tie her up and do whatever I liked. I fully intend to hold her to this by tying her up and playing 360 for a whole day :hat:

Plissken · **Posted:** Fri Dec 25, 2009 19:55

From Mrs P, I got a beautiful handmade card (pics to follow), some lovely thick jumpers for work, a book on the race to be first to the Moon and a gorgeous Skagen watch.

Which is kind of ironic, as I have been trying to find someone who can sell a Skagen watch in Ireland as Mrs P's pressie. She got a set of artist inks, a full set of Derwent Inktense pencils in a wooden presentation box, a travel book and a scarf from Avoca in Ireland.

Over to her dads now for more food and possibly goodies.

Cider, Munny, Turkish Delight and Kecks. Bostin.

I have a fucking XBox!

It is slightly overwhelming. I am just plugging it into the internet. Thankfully I have the longest ethernet cable ever to do this. Also no HDMI in the box but luckily I already had a cable. Who do Microsoft think they are bundling the console with composite only?

Anyway I am trying to work it all out and sign up for Live. But to do this I have to download a huge update. I also had to piss around with some stupid thing where I had to pick a face.

I have Fifa something, Sonic something, Need for Speed something and an FPS that you lot told me to get that I've forgotten the name of.

I am setting it all up. Username to follow as I believe I need to be friends with Mr Chris before I can shoot him in the head.

Holy crap! Chinny has an Xbox!

I can't wait to play MW2 and hear how it's not a patch on the CPC!

Tried to sign up for XBox Live. It demanded a Visa card.

Fair enough I thought and pulled out the company credit card. Spent forever entering the details only for it to reject them again and again. I know the titting card works so what Microsofts problem is I don't know.

Is there an easier way for me to sign up to Xbox live that I can use my common or garden domestic Maestro card?

So far I have this to say. A CPC has quicker loading times and the lack of cut scenes that cannot be bypassed seems to be an advantage.

The XBox is befuddling and won't take my credit card details.

It shouldn't demand a card, Chinny. If it did, then no-one would be able to use a game-card.

Try signing up for a silver account, then it should offer you a month's gold access for free. Then if you want to continue (and you will) you can just buy the cards.

Malabelm · **Posted:** Sat Dec 26, 2009 0:19

You should be able to buy a Live subscription card in the shops without bothering with Microsoft having your card details.

I got: Forza 3, gloves, rocky road, jelly beans, Family Guy, a mountain bike maintenance book, chocolates, a cycling top, money box, Pratchett book, gingerbread, marshmallow fluff, money.

Pretty good Christmas. Miss Malabar enjoyed the gifts I bought, so I'm quite happy.

nickachu · **Posted:** Sat Dec 26, 2009 0:26

just use a hotmail account and sign up for silver then they kindly give you a month free.

chinnyhill10 · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 15695

All done. Now signed in.

Username is Chinnyhill10 for anyone who wants to be my Xbox friend.
