pritchardavid Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Not trying to tell you something by any chance? I got a couple of humorous gadgets, like a binary watch and wifi detector watch. The rest was mostly books and clothes. Nah don't think so, was from different people, not just the one
sparkeh Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Got an unusually large haul this year but the higlight has to be this: My Mystery UFO How does it work?!
Dos_Box Posted December 27, 2009 Author Posted December 27, 2009 I'm bit of a watch geek so was very pleased that Santa got me a TokyoFlash Galaxy watch: http://www.slipperybrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/galaxy.jpg Takes a bit of getting used to but looks really good! The kids got me a couple of Pratchett / Discworld books and a cufflink box. They got loads of chocolate so I'm robbing theirs whenever the feeling strikes!!! Watches are cool. This is the one I was given: http://media.suunto.com/media/suunto/NewWorlds/Outdoor/images/gallery/core_allblack_2_v3_m56577569830809725.jpg

JJonas Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 I got one of these Maverick Strada MT - 1/10th Scale Monster Truck - RTR Which was quite a surprise but it gets me away from computers/video games and out of the house which I guess was my parents idea. Its great fun really enjoying it so far.

muppet Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 @Dos_Box I've used Suunto stuff for years, started using their dive computers when I was in the military, so can vouch for the reliability and superb functions of the brand. Having had a look at the features and styling of your watch I have to confess to be very envious.

All good Mike. Iron? You need to learn the art of the tumble dryer. I used to iron all the time, work shirts, trousers etc for both me and the other half, until I was enlightened with folding straight after tumble drying, never had to iron anything since.

That actually works? bonus! *goes to turn on the tumble dryer*
ahuxham Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 That actually works? bonus! *goes to turn on the tumble dryer* Indeed, dry normally during the summer months, and stick in for 10-15mins, than hang shirts on hangers and sorted, folder trousers along creases and in half on a hanger as well. During the winter months just tumble dry for x amount of time than do the same hanging technique. I have the privilege of owning a washer/dryer, as a result the clothes are normally steaming as they come out of the tumble dryer, makes them feel wet, but once they cool they are actually dry, once hanging all the clothes while steaming (which removes the creases) on hangars, I never have to iron. Has honestly saved me so much time, and an invaluable trick to learn
ahuxham Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 PS3 Slim - Few games to boot, and various other bits. Six bottles of wine, which are all gone, and alas no hang over from any of them.
leco Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Some clothes, that don't fit:( Would have loved a watch, but I haven't found one yet that carries on going when I wear it! A pair of black leather gloves with cashmere lining:) A Dick Bogie jig-saw - the Great British Garden Fete :) much fun So Dokube - which I daren't even start as I know I'll just carry on doing it non-stop:) And the only thing remotely geeky? The Psychology of the Internet, (it's a book in case you're wondering). Oh and an digital steamer so's I don't have to have all my meals from the microwave.
john Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 That actually works? bonus! *goes to turn on the tumble dryer* It works so I'm told as well, that was the reason we needed a new one a while ago..... BUT you must remember that some things cannot go in it or else they shrink....
chrbb Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I've ended up with many clothes that will only fit the cat:D
