Not out for a few weeks yet... And there's 2 prices, £210 for a "core" version, with the console, a controller and a couple of other bits.. And there's the one I'm getting, the £280 version which features a removable 20 Gig hard drive, a wireless controller, a HD TV adaptor and a couple of other bits.

USB flash memorystick
Eaxample here (http://www.usbmemory.com/ecom/index.php?tplaction=fulldetails&productid=368&id=)
So I can put 'Portable Firefox' on it and transport my desktop to any PC.
I'm so sad :roll: and easy to please ;)

No doubt he is. Hope he gets you the right mobile. Try dropping him a hint by leaving a mag with a picture of the one you want open on the pillow or whatever.

Dunno how I will get my mondeo in a christmas stocking though.

I've jsut thought - I'd like a new house as well but that's pretty unrealistic aint it?

I'd like a pc upgrade, the complete box-set of all 6 Star Wars films (not heard of it being done yet by the way), and some sort of CCTV camera with a mounted laser beam that detects and zaps chavs in the arse when they go near mine or the neighbours cars with their poxy screwdrivers and scrotey 'come near meh an a'l stab yer wiv it' attitudes. :roll:

I don't expect to get any of these things for Christmas but hey I can dream. :D

13-11-2005, 19:31

Yeah exactly, a really nice place to go is the "nags head" in castleton, ask for the suit with four poster bed a jacuzzi spa, it's alot of money but worth it, I took my girlfriend and we had a fun weekend, went up to the castle and went in the caves ect, we not history buffs or anythin and we found it right fun, a really nice place for couples, and the pubs just stay open because its out of the way from everywhere.

Scruff

13-11-2005, 20:45

yeah a group of us went up there couple of years ago and stayed in a youth hostel for the night. the caves are ace and your right about the pubs! good idea nice one!

A copy of Santas' "Naughty Girls" list ?

bigkev

13-11-2005, 22:41

my top of the list is the complete box set of the tv programe V I have been after this for the past 5 years now and did I get it NO,so lets see what this year brings I have put enough hints out on the subject even resolved to putting the odd photos of the series in places like the loo,kitchen,on the top of the stairs so they cant miss it. whats next Oh maybe a new baby daughter not a chance my girlfriend says know more oh I can wish like I do every year. A new camera would be good and lenses to go with it I will finnish up buying myself that last item I just know I will. maybe some more heavy rock CD'S,or even a brand new pipe as my others are wearing a bit thin at the moment something like a plumb or even a falcon or one of my favourites a carved mershumm one with the skull design or a dragons claw holding the bowel. but my greatest wish for christmas is for my 3 year old son to see many more of them and for me to be around for him as he starts growing up. I have just had a thought by the time he is 16 I will be 64 years old. opps just let everybody know how old I am mind you my girlfriend is only 36. I have got one other big wish for christmas and thats for us two to get married.
