the inevitable "what I got for christmas" thread

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Nice try Kiddo!


Although I thought I already had this, so if my other copy turns up I'll let you know :wink:

A flexi would take place of honour at Chez Dark (along with my Damned poster, my Rhapsody album poster, Gift and Body And Soul.) :innocent:

My mate got one of these for Christmas.

It's a Laserpod and I was wondering if it's the coolest thing ever?

Or is it a boy thing? :roll: I do love lighty-up things

I'd ask him but his arrived broken :lol: Poor sod
It might be a boy thing, but it looks cool regardless. I want one. The more lighty-up things the better, particularly if you combine their effect with a fog-machine. :D 8) :D

But I'll settle for my 2 litres of vodka and Return Of The King Spesh Edition DVD. There's more waiting at home too, if only the damned patient currently clogging up theatre will get better pronto.
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

Strangely light on the music front this year - I have to buy that for myself, really.

But have a cool digital camera and now merely need to organise the holiday where I can show it off to best effect.

Couple of DVDs (Sergei Eisenstein, as requested), usual slab of reading material and my mother has made some curtains for my flat. She has some naive belief that I'll want to iron them first.

Got a severe hangover as well after going back to Durham and encountering Nine Altars Ale, a Christmas special from our local micro. Just the thing for a trip down the A1.
Names are just a souvenir ...

today I braved the crowds of human vermin to cash in some gift vouchers.

treated myself to the dvd of Sex, Lies And Videotape, which I've seen before but would happily watch again. it's billed as "a film that's intimate yet alienated, objective yet intense."

The other self-chosen pressie was Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (the guy who wrote Fight Club). To quote the blurb: "The book revels in sexual addiction, fantasies, and mental illness in a way that few will find a happy experience."

Yeah, I know, "strange tastes"...

So did I. I went to Argos in my lunchbreak which was stupid because I ended up not actually having a lunchbreak because the queue was so long. Anyway at least my cds have a proper home now.
