Despite all that though i bet i'm the only poster on here who got sainsburys vouchers. I win.

Im the most likeable guy you're every likely to meet.

To be fair those presents only came from Mum, Dad, Gramp and next door.

I got money, a scarf, socks and smellies - the usual.

Show offs

a turntable

[url width=407 height=345]http://www.superfi.co.uk/images/main/project-genie.jpg[/url]

i bloody loves it

I know what a turntable is.

but have you ever seen one which looks like that? i had not.

A nice Ted Baker watch, Stuart a life backwards and Dead Mans Shoes on dvd, STFC polo shirt, smellies and the usual shit..

Signed photo (by Pele) of him shaking Bobby Moore's hand after the game in 1970 !!!!

Fucking ace !

3 pairs of slippers :-[
must have 6 feet

DAB radio, Bill Bailey 'Tinselworm' DVD, Swindon vs Arsenal DVD, Jamie Oliver cookbook, football ground guide, chocolate, and money

Two jumpers and some socks. Good times.

And an ace hat.

That's a nice project, design is based on the ClearAudio emotion which is class.

I got a killers CD and cycle buddy tool. ace.

whats a cycle buddy tool?

I didnt get anything.

2botts of whiskey,some shop vouchers,miniature aftershave set....oh and a packet of worthy originals wrapped!....See Herthab has got The Catcher In The Rye....keep meaning to read that book,so many people have told me how good it is...very dark apparently

kept it low key this year, aiming to spend more in the sales. Got a surfing rash vest, some pants, jumper and a monumental hangover from crimbo eve!

It's like a little penknife but instead of blades it has cycle things like tyre lever and allan key.

its really good, not particularly dark if i remember correctly. if you want some first-person depravity, alcoholism, furious masturbation/sex and general self destruction, try Bukowski's Post Office. Its nice and short, same as Catcher in the Rye, and is a great read.

 Sounds good...one of my favouritist possessions is, a bicycle chain...link remover and putter back tool.

 Its ace...I carried it for years without need, then somewhere in a field, in a field in Hampshire, my chain snapped. The little tool pushes out a rivet, and then enables you to push it back in to an unbroken link...pretty much fucked without it. Every home should have one.

Shirt, Magners' presentation case, Jethro dvd Lou Macari's book, Fred Dibnah boxed set of dvds, tin of wine gums and a very interesting book called "I never knew that about England" (very Reg type of book).  Best news of all was my daugher from Yorkshire ringing saying that I was going to be a grandad again in August!!  Taking my other grandchildren back home Christmas night the fucking car caught aids or something and started misfiring all over the place!  What a time to break down!!! >:(

I got 6 Bond films on Blu Ray, Hancock Blu Ray, Dark Knight Blu Ray, Goonies Blu Ray, Wanted Blu Ray, aftershave, smelies, Clarkson Thriller DVD, money, HMV gift vouchers.

We decided not to get any presents for each other this year as we cant afford it and just bought presents for the kids.

Sexy stereo equipment is one of my true loves. I wanna buy myself a nice turntable just for listening and find out who makes the amazing stereo in the picture below so i can move one into my house.

[url width=500 height=375]http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb283/BarryScott_album/new_stereo_1.jpg[/url]

This turnable makes me wet.

[url width=800 height=365]http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb283/BarryScott_album/cleanaudio_emotion.jpg[/url]

These are okay too at $15k and $125k...

Some turntables are a thing of beauty.

a tumble dryer! woooooooooooooo

And valve amps should get a mention.

 Indeed here's a thing of beauty...

 [url width=450 height=353]http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.uk/gallery/450/aa0/aa000937.jpg[/url]

I'd like to see that at 45rpm.

and my CD player:

[url width=640 height=480]http://www.musicmatters.co.uk/images2/incakatana.JPG[/url]

Darn right, some sexy warm value amps would be a treat. My mates doing Audio Engineering in some audio college in Byron Bay, apparently the best in the world, and just rants about the equipment there and the value amps especially.

I just bought this baby...  ;)

 It only plays 78's

National Trust Membership - now for fucks suck, I know I'm nearly 40 but that's taking the piss......but having said that, having a passion for photography it might come in handy

Think I preferred my birthday presents this year, although I think that's just because my brother got me some quality headphones.

That's quite difficult to fathom out.

 Trawling the depths there Nev....

Mark Twain - means "two fathoms"

If I'm ever on the Mississippi, I'll remember that...

Got that apache book. Fuck me it is shit hot. I want to join the army

 o fathoms....is an anagram of fat homos

I think thats the one my milk man is in...black guy, Lewis is his name!

I got a pink DS with Nintendogz - but its annoying me as my dogs not learning anything

I also didnt realise how much the games cost - I thought that they would be about 10 quid!

Dab Radio
Russell Howard DVD
Chuck DVD
Clothes.

Jumper
Cafetiere
Jeans
Permission to go to the brigton match.

Im so happy.

Just finished one of the books i got for Christmas, so thought i'd mention it here and state it was great.

True story about a bloke who was part of a team who worked shit loads of money out of casinos over years, not by card counting but by switching bets, and various psychological tricks depending on the game and the win.

He also tells an ace true story of a bloke he met in a casino who went from skint and owning $1 to $1,000,000 in one night on a hot streak like never before seen. He then goes on to say how he then went from $1,000,000 to 0 again in a week.

The Great Casino Heist - Richard Marcus (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Casino-Heist-Richard-Marcus/dp/1845290054/ref=sr_1_1/276-9831046-4658260?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1230647263&sr=8-1)

I'll add that to my 'stuff to buy' list.

Like a 10 year old I got a PS3 and rather strange but useful STFC cushion, which makes a marvellous head rest.

Couple of online jiggery pokery books, shoes and a tin of Quality Street.

If you like any kind of gambling type stuff you'll love it, although saying that i'm not a gambler, and i loved it.

Some reviews on Amazon imply he's a fake and it's all bollocks, youtube and a documetry on Casino Gambling prove otherwise.

I think I may have heard of him and I’ll definitely check it out.  I love anything like that.

I was actually in Vegas this year playing roulette and the old croupier was giving it plenty of banter with me and the other local chaps on his table.  Much more than croupiers normally ever do, even in Vegas.  Anyway, it was the end of his shift and the place was deserted and as chips went down on the table he was umming and arring in a ‘you don’t want to like that’ style. 

Anyway when pushed the fella actually correctly guessed the correct number three times in a row on his last spins and then fucked off having finished his shift.   Stupidly it was only on the 3rd ‘guess’ that anyone laid cash down.

I’ve always wondered if we was very good or just very, very lucky.

My Sennheiser's just went kaput :(

What one's Sam? I got some HD 515s for my birthday and I'm well pleased with them.

Bloomin' Germans.

I've got the HD415s. Sounds like the driver has gone in the RHS ear.

Bit of a bitch. Hopefully Santa didn't buy them from Woolies!

Nope, Santa bought them from Currys so they're going back tomorrow. They're quality headphones, the only problem I've had (before them breaking) is the noise leak, but I only use them at home anyway so it's no real beef.

Yeah that's the problem with the open design, though mine don't seem too bad. I mainly got mine for when I play my guitar late at night, with the odd occassion for pc/hi fi use.

Yeah, I got mine to mainly use with the guitar but was a bit disappointed with the sound. It turned out to be the amp rather than the headphones because the amp emulates the headphone jack so it's not the true sound.

I'm not even sure my amp works with headphones. I use a Zoom 2.1u effects pedal and that seems to do the job nicely.
