        Ha! Don't knock the Trilby! It's dead stylish, like!

        I'm obviously well chuffed with my presents this year - very fortunate.

                      Kernow, seeing as you don't need anything at the moment why not spend it on one of those experience days out, whizzing down a hill in a giant clear golfball or skydiving in a wind tunnel or round a racetrack. Those kinds of things....

                      Did pretty well for xmas here but half the stuff i got was for xmas but it wasn't saved till then i just played them as they arrived but.

                      Stuff from me to me..
                      Okamiden e-capcom edition
                      Solatorobo collectors edition
                      Mr Donut DS
                      Ninokuni
                      Taiko no tatsujin wii 3
                      Game center CX dvd box 7 (not turned up yet)

                      Stuff from mum...
                      Family guy season 9
                      Toy story 3
                      Socks
                      Chocolate orange
                      Box o' dairymilk
                      Bag of chocolate coins YAY (not xmas without these)
                      Viz annual
                      ?400 to go towards a new pc

                      The last gift i feel pretty guilty about as i know she doesn't have a lot of money, i tried telling her i don't need the cash as i'll do ok, but she won't take no for an answer. But i do need a new pc as this laptop is a museum piece.

                            I got loads of really good stuff this year.

                            I did ask people not to buy me any films this year but I did get Toy Story 3 and Inception on blu-ray which were nice surprises.

                            I got a few books and book vouchers which will keep me busy for a while
                            • For Ever Godard - Michael Temple, James Williams & Michael Witt
                            • Godard on Godard - Jean-Luc Godard & Tom Milne
                            • Making Movies - Sidney Lumet
                            • Cinema: The Archaeology of Film & the Memory of A Century - Jean-Luc Godard & Youssef Ishaghpour
                            • Image-Music-Text - Roland Barthes
                            • Beautiful Losers - Leonard Cohen
                            • Flowers for Hitler - Leonard Cohen


                            Also got a couple which I was allowed to have a little early:
                            • What is Cinema: Volume I - André Bazin & François Truffaut
                            • What is Cinema: Volume II - André Bazin & Jean Renoir

                            Although people did manage to avoid giving me films they've obviously not strayed too far from cinema with the books but I'm really pleased with all of them and For Ever Godard is a fantastic and rather large reference book!

                            I did get the usual slippers, boxer shorts, socks and beers of the world type things and I also got a really useful circular head shaving razor thingy which I'd seen on telly a couple of weeks back and completely forgotten about.

                            It's been a good year all round I think and it's all been extra stuff as I didn't really need anything to be honest which is lovely.

                            EDIT:
                            We've also been having a bit of a look at new TV sets in the sales that are now running. Not sure what's happening yet but we are thinking of getting a larger (40' - 42") set...possibly.

                            EDIT 2:
                            Still not sure about the new telly, could really do more important things with the money at the moment.
