what does everyone want for christmas?

[weekender]

what do you all want for christmas, ho ho ho?

no, i'm not santa masquerading as a geek, i'm just a geek with a christmas wishlist, as i suspect many of you are.

is it one of those rear-facing mirrors to stick to your monitor? Or perhaps some o'reilly books? Or a months' entry to playboy.com?

All I want is to not be sick anymore :(

It's all in your head, if you think your getting sick you will, if you think your not sick you won't be, trust me, its be tried and proven.... ;)

Merve's wish list:

a new computer
Command and Conquer pack of games
Warcraft battle chest
Lemmings Revolution (crap! It's not available in stores and they don't make it anymore!
Our Lady Peace - Live
Green Day - International Superhits
a CD rack
Dune: all the books I haven't read yet
Discworld: all the books I haven't read yet (that would be about 30)
a DVD player
Lord of the Rings: first two movies on DVD...or I'll just wait till the trilogy comes out
something that prevents me from making impossible dreams (wish lists)

[drag0n]

Man I want a xray camera cell phone!

[piersk]

I'm hoping for one of these (http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/).

Seriously considering getting my girlfriend this little number (http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/ladies/5981/).

I think I'm getting a digital camera. And I know I'm getting an Axim...

TBH, I have one or two items that I'd like, but normally I'm not bothered what I get.

[The Chancer]

I just wish it would snow at Christmas...

Simple wish I know - but I haven't seen it for so long - and the kids never have !!!

Snow.... Snow... glorious snow....

[piersk]

You're in the UK right? It snowed here twice in Guildford earlier this year (January time).

It would be nice to have snow for Xmas tho.

/me goes off into a daydream...

[The Chancer]

Yeah - rainy old Manchester....

Going to have to head up North in February I think - get some real snow... hopefully enough to get some skis on...


//already in cloud cookoo land...

What do you mean up north?? You live in Manchester!! Surely it's impossible to get farther north :p

[The Chancer]

True - the world does start at Manchester - everything else is below us....

:D :D :cool: ;)

[piersk]

Well, they say that you should always take your passport when you go north of the watford gap...

It's like a whole new language to me :)

[The Chancer]

In the spirit of Christmas :-

Piers -
you are hereby granted the ability to go north of the Watford Gap without a passport.

The use of the much coveted universal language translator will also be given to you at this time.

Best Regards,

The Real Government (based in Manchester)

i'm down in oxford, but i'm heading up to my folks' in lincolnshire tomorrow for a week. It always snows in Oxford when i go home for Christmas.

Having said that, my bro is up in Perth, Scotland - he supposed to be driving down tomorrow, if he isn't snowed in. Git!

[The Chancer]

Definately lucky for some huh ?

Used to live in Edinburgh - very nice indeed for a short trip to Fort William and above...
