Dr Who? Posted 26 December, 2012 Posted 26 December, 2012 Loads of cycling stuff to read and wear, cooking stuff, and a tv for the kitchen with build in DVD, and a connection for sky!
Dr Who? Posted 26 December, 2012 Posted 26 December, 2012 Also for the first time ever, I received the same 3 times. Spooks series 10, from my wife, her sister, and one of my best mates. They really should be the sort of people that are talking to each other!
SNSUN Posted 26 December, 2012 Posted 26 December, 2012 More casual shirts than I can count, board games, Saints home shirt, Saints gnome, Saints calendar, about £400 cash, new wallet to put it all in, smellies, socks, chocs, and other stuff I forget. Weirdest present from my sister was a drinking straw than you can construct in a multitude of ways. (Which I tried and it makes the drink taste disgusting. I got more joy from seeing my family open their presents from me. Best reactions were my mum on getting a radio controlled Aston Martin (she asked for a real one, but still...) and my wife on getting a bread maker. (Which I actually didn't think she'd like at all.)
John Boy Saint Posted 26 December, 2012 Posted 26 December, 2012 (edited) Garmin S3 Golf Watch off Mrs JBS only hinted at the S1 now I am going to invite myself round Dubai Phil's to play golf and help him smoke his Cigars before they go off and visit my friend in Bangkok to play golf there just to get the most out of it. Latest James Herbert book Ash, that looks like it might take a bit of time to meander through. I did take pleasure from the reaction from Mrs JBS to a book of photos that I had made up via Jessops of photos that I had taken on a recent trip to New York for her landmark birthday: including one of us together that went up on a billboard in Times Square.

Anytime my friend, anytime. Just PM... Hmm maybe I'll have to join you on that golf tour, some great courses around the big City (GolfAsian.com is good)
eurosaint Posted 27 December, 2012 Posted 27 December, 2012 Both good and odd!! I got a paperwhite kindle reader. Lovely jubbly... Oddly? I got a card trick set lol We have something in common TDD (believe it or not!) I got a 'paperwhite kindle' as well ! Reckon that I'll have more time to use it though as you have 32,000 posts on here and I have a miserable total of less than 3,000 !!
Window Cleaner Posted 27 December, 2012 Posted 27 December, 2012 Nothing, same as always.Then again we don't have much family and the kids are far away and almost always broke. We just buy whatever we need whenever we want and leave it at that, like my new DS4 that I'll be getting next week..

dubai_phil Posted 27 December, 2012 Posted 27 December, 2012 This is very pleasant: http://www.golfasian.com/golf-courses/thailand-golf-courses/bangkok/muang-kaew-golf-club/ Ha yep played that one. Lost about 5 balls into the water in the 18th, they were rental clubs damned slice... Course I always wanted to play was at the old Don Muang Airport course was between the two runways. Reckon I could have killed a few 777's on that one.
pap Posted 27 December, 2012 Posted 27 December, 2012 Judge Dredd complete case files vol 1 + 2. Band of Brothers, Matrix Trilogy and Back to the Future trilogy on BluRay. Also, festive knitwear and a hipflask.
revolution saint Posted 27 December, 2012 Posted 27 December, 2012 This year we decided to do the poundland parade of crap for a laugh - idea being that you buy the crappiest, most inappropriate present you can find. So I got multi-coloured shoelaces and car air freshener. We did do normal presents as well but the crap ones were the most fun.
Dr Who? Posted 27 December, 2012 Posted 27 December, 2012 Festive jumpers were the in thing this Christmas!
pap Posted 27 December, 2012 Posted 27 December, 2012 (edited) To be honest chaps, I went into town to post something. While I was there, I picked up Judge Dredd complete case files 1 + 2 and Band of Brothers, gave it to the missus and said "wrap this up for Christmas". Was all cheap as chips. She pulled the same trick with a couple of her pressies. Much, much easier. On a more serious note, this is the last Christmas where we've still got children. Juvenile Unit #1 turns 18 next year. Really is zipping by very quickly now. Five years time, both my girls will be adults, probs out of our house on a semi-permanent basis. This Christmas, we scored our third proper family holiday ever, had no proper connectivity over the whole period, spent a lot of time watching films and playing games. Was ace. Felt like Christmas' past. Best present I got this year was a memorable time with the family. We even took the dog, normally banged up in "dog chokey" whenever we go away.

angelman Posted 27 December, 2012 Posted 27 December, 2012 My brother gave me what I gave him (a good bottle of booze) a couple of years ago!!!

Course I always wanted to play was at the old Don Muang Airport course was between the two runways. Reckon I could have killed a few 777's on that one. Often wondered how far into the round you stop being distracted and start scoring properly. Always thought it would be a bit of a surreal experience. That Muang Kaew the caddy said there is water across the fairway on the first hole, off we go jetlag at play between our ears, second shot she says again about the water (I can't see any water or marker posts) onto the green my ball goes then the water comes into sight that looks like a course tidy bit of irrigation, just as I am about to putt I hear a motor getting closer and then one of those Thai boats with the propeller out on the end of a shaft with 4 blokes heading to work on board just sails "across" the fairway!.......... In my head it's 2am in the morning, I am on a golf course, the mercury has just waved at 30c on the way past, humidity is jollying along in the 90%s: and a boat has just motored through the Golf Course!!! Someone pinch me!!
Barry Sanchez Posted 28 December, 2012 Posted 28 December, 2012 Tablet,Hunters,Barbour scarf,Jeans,Aftershave,Jacket,Larousse Gastronomique,Blu rays and ps3 games, smellies and kacks.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 28 December, 2012 Posted 28 December, 2012 Complete Bond DVD collection (James not Kevin), BBC Olympics DVD, Saints Tee and Calendar. Most of these I bought myself. Wife has no idea what I like and kids are skint. Family time always the best present though.
fish fingers Posted 28 December, 2012 Posted 28 December, 2012 Lee Mack Autobiography. Thats all. Depressing
Wurzel Posted 28 December, 2012 Posted 28 December, 2012 I thought it was amusing Mrs Wurzel bought me a Kindle ...................... and a book
buctootim Posted 28 December, 2012 Posted 28 December, 2012 are there other DS4s ? I had one as a hire car and loved it. If I didnt have small kids and need something bigger I'd buy one.
Window Cleaner Posted 28 December, 2012 Posted 28 December, 2012 I had one as a hire car and loved it. If I didnt have small kids and need something bigger I'd buy one. Then again letting kids puke up and spread chocolate all over the place in a DS4 Airdream would be sacrilege anyway. Not a small car though, must be bigger than a Focus but not as clumpy.

dubai_phil Posted 28 December, 2012 Posted 28 December, 2012 Bloody hell Eric. I know you said that your missus got you a radio controlled boat for Christmas, but I thought it might be a kinda Duckpond sized thingy. No wonder you're too busy to come down the pub to watch the Stoke game tomorrow [/img]
