Besides getting a hole in my stomach where my appendix thingy used to be.... I got a box set of the war Series, Band Of Brothers......, I really wanted this series for the last 5 years, but it was way too expensive..
I also got my annual Zapiro book, Pirates of Polokwane...
What did you guys get?
present(1)
Great series Band of Brothers - you lucky boy!!
Me not much; just little things as we all agreed no big pressies this year.
Oh secret(1) nothing ....... madashell
Frank and I went last week and got more tattoos done for Christmas. And just got each others something small to open on the day.

Got gold earings, a new iPod, a PS3 plus games, some DVD's ... yes, I was spoilt ... thank you Santa
I always wanted to fly a helocpter so wifie bought me one of those indoor jobs. I practiced to show off to my grandson on Xmas. It bought the farm: got thrown into the ground, lay onto its side with the rotors turning in pangs of agony. I think the rotor shaft got bent and ...should I continue?? He thought it was hilarious.
We had fun though. Family was seperated due to the weather so we stretched it out over 3 days.
I was hoping someone would have invited a bunch from the Forum over for Xmas. You never know if the seed is planted.

Well, my 17 month old toddler got the flu, with bouts of fever and a really bad, bad cough, and then all three of us got sleepless nights and then his pediatrician got a lot of calls from us (he is, I kid you not, a South African MD... ) and then we had to stay indoors for a whole week, and then we all got "cabin fever"... a Xmas to forget, really!

Awww I am sorry to read that Alexandre, lets hope that the New Year brings you and your family health and prosperity.
My son is 3 and I know as a parent its terrible when your child/ren are sick and you wish you could wave a magic wand and make them all better, immediately.
Hang in there.... giverose
Good to see you are still with us Alexandre', hope you all get healthy and better soon....
@ John..... You know by now that one should not be flying choppers on Rum and in bad weather....
:wow1:
I know what I will be getting as Hubby only lands tomorrow afternoon. Got an incontact sms from FNB, he used his credit card and bought me my favourite perfume in Dubai. In the meanwhile I am still battling to get rid of bronchitis, fell ill on Christmas Day, but saw the Doc this morning and feeling better already, I have no choice, cannot get onto the train feeling sick
John and Leila
I envy all of you that have the priviledge of having a white Xmas. Have been saying my whole life long that I would love to go to Switzerland and sit in the snow. Here in South Africa the snow is too little, I want to sit in snow that is a couple of feet thick
I got a PC game, Far Cry 2. And the obligatory jocks and socks... 202
So that's why you've been so quiet, Carl - you were playing your new game!!!! abouttime
Hi there Bertie. Yup, it's a great game, the best game ever since "Hidden & Dangerous". The graphics are absolutely stunning and right out of Africa. Even the bad guys speak Afrikaans... 202
I got a new house for Christmas - moved in the day before Christmas eve........also got a new printer and scanner for a new red laptop that I'm waiting patiently to arrive - come on postie!!!
Don't think many of us could compete wit that Rhona - lucky girl!
woo_hoo My red laptop has arrived........just need to find the on button!!! image061
Was the shop outta Green Laptops? image061
Green - ha! the colour of second best...oh! no - it's red, red, red all the way for me numberone
...Just wait for the blue comment! sorriso2
Ok, ok, I admit it ... I bought a blue laptop last month ... but that doesn't make me less of of RED ... :tifo1:
@ Rhona,
Seems like we are the lucky girls - I also got a new house on 24 Dec.
Ooooh! maybe we can do house swops for the holidays........... cat3
Hey Carl, for about 18 months, I have had the iso image of far cry 1 on my pc, never loaded it up until today.... all your raving about far cry 2 , and my brother Paul ordering no2 from Kalahari, made me mount the image, and wow! how could I have sat for soooo long with such a lekker game on my pc and never played it..... If i have a pirated game, and I play it and I rate it, I will always go out and buy the original.... which is now on my shopping list for the next time I am in CPT.... I am stuck on that old Jap aircraft carrier, and keep getting shot when I try to get up onto the flight deck from the outside.... Grrrr! Someones gonna die tonight....
good game.... nice graphics, easy controls..... 8/10
woo_hoo
Glad to see u'r enjoying it. Far Cry 2 is very similar, except that the story plays out in some African country run by rival factions. The bad guys are a mix of foreign and South African mercs hired in by "Executive Outcomes". A lot of the hiccups of the first far cry have been ironed out and the graphics are the best I've ever seen in a PC game. Try and get it if you can, it's worth it.
PS - If u'r sukkeling on the old Jap Carrier in Far Cry 1 allready, good luck further on. It only gets worse... 202
To be honest, I had to use "God Mode" to finish the last mission.
Nice prezzies you all got! Best one for me was a new foal that was born on 24 Dec while we were away on holiday! Still have to come up with a name for him !
How about "Desert Thunder"

didn't andy Warhole advertise these red laptops in the 50s? I dont think they have a button. You'll need a tinopener. But don't forget an apron...

Carl, you have got both me and my boyfriend completely addicted to the game. You made it sound so good that I went online to check it out and then rushed to the store to buy it for the PS3. Now we can't wait to get home from work just to play. Our social life has gone down the drain ... ...!
Hahahaha! Join the club Patricia, I got stuck at Mikes Bar..... awesome Graphics.... nice sounds.... realistic.... and a few Afrikaaners...
202
I passed Mike's bar, went to the church in Pala to get my malaria pills and since then I keep getting shot at the borders by those blerry Afrikaaners ... shooter shooter shooter
Glad to see u'r enjoying it. The best treatment for the blerrie Afrikaaners is one of those bakkies with the machine gun on the back, or else creep up through the bushes and take them out with a long distance sniper shot. Works well on the darkies as well... shooter
I just shoot rockets at them ... oh and I accidently shot my buddy with my pistol instead of injecting him after he was injured ... image201
