    i agree! now it is about games consoles, games, iphones! back when i was young (not too long ago) i was happy when i got a presenti didnt care if it was just satsumas
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    My best present was talking to my Mahal. She made me happy on an otherwise dull day.

    I can relate to that, Steve. Myrna came here last March ... so this was her 1st Christmas in the UK. We spent a lovely afternoon and evening with my son and future daughter-in-law on the Day itself ... and it was great! My daughter and son-in-law live in the wilds of Aberdeenshire, so we chatted on the phone to them for a while, discussing what brought the kids. And that was really nice, too!!

    But, for the TWO of US, the real 'icing on the cake' came yesterday ... when all we did was sit and blether about well ... anything and everything ... and nothing in particular. Yet, we were "happy as Larry" ... simply being TOGETHER ... just our two selves!!

    That sound great Arthur. You know, our last full day together in the Philippines was spent just doing that, chat! chat! chat! like you say, not about anything you can remember, but just being together, cuddling and looking into each other's eyes, trying to remember every dimple or feature on her face, knowing that it will be a long time before you see each other again.
    I like it simple, I am pleased you had a lovely day together.....roll on next year

    me and the misses bought our 9yr old gal a Wii, it doesn't have the power of the x box360 or ps3, but it makes up for that with the playability. all 3 of us being able to play at the same time, what's worrying is seeing how good my misses is at boxing

    no my wife doesn't need a wii to learn to box, she learnt that from her dad , but it means she can get back in to shape

    2 birds with one stone, the misses will be happy you bought her a wii fit, in a week or so she will give up and you'll have it all to yourself to play footy and she will not say anything to you, caz if she does, ask her to start using the wii fit again

    I remember the good old days when nostalgia was so much better, not like this so called "modern" version.

    I think I meant the Alzheimer 3000, the Parkinson's model is the one that doesn't need batteries.....

    Dentists approve of them but sharing can spread diseases, also they're quite cheap new nowadays. (You do mean electric toothbrushes ?!).
