Thread: So? what did the fat man bring you?

I got to spend the whole day with the missus and our 7 month old and looking forward to the next two weeks of the same.

I also got a years subscription to Land Rover International
Oh That and my replacement exhaust and 8" touch screen for my (soon to be) GPS. I got the last two before xmas but that's the great thing about being a grown up

Pretty good I reckon but I'm biased.

and my wife is getting me a UHF so I can go on the GCLRO trips but I have to go buy it myself.

How about showing the whole family - well at least the family of garden ornaments. I reckon your mum would have a great business selling these.

Well I tend to impulse buy through year so no big presents at Christmas. I'm not sure whether you'd call a 300tdi a present but that was purchased during the year and a new mountain bike (Giant Trance). At Christmas kids gave me the Thin Blue Line series on DVD, Rainshadow, shirt and a few books (Cooking and From Bagdad with Love.)

[[*] An experience flight at the controls of a helicopter (I've always loved 'em and wanted to learn to fly one) Total Experience - Helicopter - Fly a Helicopter

I got two small remote control Helicopters( from my wife and her brother. niether told the other. My gain)
Next year Im gunna try for the copper experience, What a cool prezzy.

The wombat and armadillo are still in the front yard which is very open to the street but they are hiding in the bushes. I don't think I could hide old man emu in a bush though so he will have to got to he backyard. I am tempted to leave him in the box and put him in the lounge room.

I will do so when I get back in the new year. The wife is getting agro at me right now as I should be packing the car. However I think Mum is not interested in selling as she thinks it would take the fun out of it.

I got a Bosch cordless screwdriver and a set of drills and holesaws, two sets of Allen keys and a new pillow. Some chocolates and some boxer shorts my daughter made at school.

And a DVD called 300, is it about TDis?

mmm... more like: "Based on a graphic novel, this action spectacle is about the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C., which is celebrated as an example of heroic resistance against an overwhelming force. Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) leads a huge Persian army numbering perhaps 200,000 in an attempt to conquer Greece, and at one point comes to a mountain pass defended by a mere 300 men from Sparta under Leonidas (Gerard Butler). The 300 can only slow the Persian advance, but they buy time for the Greeks to regroup and win the war."
