Rappy Veteran Posted December 26, 2013 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2013 Damien: Stand in the shopping area of Bognor Regis and sing. If you're lucky shop owners will pay you more than enough to stop. :p There is a spot now the former busker had a stroke and is now in a home...

LimeMaster Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Socks. Got a bunch of socks. Now you need to tell us what the socks look like. :p I don't celebrate Christmas, but to keep the kids from not being "in" with their friends, bought them "christms gifts" :p, and also received Christmas gifts myself. a coffee machine, a jacket, and a rug. I also gifted a bunch of surface RTs to family members and a few friends. the rest got pots and pans or glass cups. Good to see that you keep the holiday spirit for other people even if you don't celebrate it. :) vcfan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mps69 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Gave my in-laws tickets to the theatre. My wife got whole bunch of out-door gear for walking, boots, waterproofs etc. I got a new Police watch, projection alarm clock, walking boots and a display case for my increasing amount of watches.

Dick Montage Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I reckon we should all PayPal Rappy/Damian a couple of quid each to take him and his mum out for a nice meal.

Astra.Xtreme Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I did a white elephant gift exchange with some co-workers. What I gave: A Richard Simmons work-out DVD, a headband, and a Gatorade. :rofl: What I received: A super nice arctic-rated thermos (Yeah, a few of the people didn't know what a white elephant gift was.)

Dick Montage Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I deliberately said to not get me socks. I explained that I threw out ALL my socks, and went and bought 50 pairs of exactly the same black socks, so any "other" socks will just get in the way. Now I can ball up my socks without checking first. I still got 4 pairs of "different socks". 1st world problems! Phouchg and Sikh 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Who do you hate that much to give that?!? I'm kidding! :p The gifts were randomly dispersed, so it wasn't aimed at anybody in particular. :D Somebody else got a terrible bottom-shelf bottle of pre-mixed margarita.

Phouchg Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Kindly inform them that socks will be the only legal tender *when* the next Ice Age comes. Kind of like bottle caps in Fallout. I shall probably quit spamming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John.D Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Decided to update the Xbox ( I had), to an Xbox 360 E 4 GB. Since it uses less power (than the one I had, and its got the kinect port).To save me buying another hdd for 120 -150 NZ $ I ripped it out of the old Xbox. Plugged it in and it's all go Might replace it later, if I can bothered forking out the money to pay for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 The thread I made about donating a little something to Rappy / Damian has now been closed thanks to a user who chose not to express any human kindness but did choose to be vocal about said issue. This is my last post here, so I wanted to say I've given a small amount to damien@neowin.net (paypal verified address). It would be lovely if a few others did. It's not about money, it's about humans showing humans some kindness and helping someone who could do with a night out. If you disagree, feel free to disagree quietly.
