El Presidente Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Great to be back ;-) Best: Shower Radio. Worst: A book on the History of Longtitude. No need to guess on how my home life is going
Ken Gargett Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 have both a shower radio and the longtitude book from past years. shower radio v good and am told that the book is too but have not got to it. it was made into a miniseries by the bbc or some other mob of poms (well what else have they got to do). best candidates for worst for the family goes back years ago when mum bought dad a medieval axe of some kind (rather spoilt when a few days before chrissy they were walking through some store which had one and dad remarked that he couldn't imagine any dill actually spending money on something so ridiculous). that was the same year that dad bought running boards for the range rover for mum's present (yes, the same rr i put into the ocean on fraser island) because she had complained that the thing was difficult to get into. he was completely baffled when she wasn't thrilled. and yet they had around 40 happy years before dad passed away??
habanohal Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Worst: Well nothing I didnt like, I tell family to spend on the kids. Best: New pr golf shoes w/ a bottle of Ameretto
harwellplant Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 best - a tie between the seven foot tall, stainless steel, propane patio heater that santa brought me and a great cutter/lighter combo from a good friend. worst - nothing at all. great gifts this year.

Mel Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Best- Flat screen LCD TV for the Gentlemens retreat. Worst- Wife had a head ache, I always get some action on Christmas, well not always this time.
genevapics Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Re: The Book. Is this the one that is somewhat small in size? If so, it is a great read. I read it from cover to cover. Very entertaining. Hope it is the same. And yes, it was made into the BBC series.
PigFish Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 ... would'a thought!!! Never mind. (private joke @ Rob)
stevejb Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Best: Tie: a Epic surboard, custom shaped, which I can't wait to try out in Brazil in Feb. From my girl. a 5k gift certificate to Ultimate Electronics wher I'll probably pick out a new big screen tv. From a client. Worst: a loaf of homemade poppy seed bread from a employee. Nice thought, but she has a mustache and hands the size of a wookie. Couldn't even bring myself to feeding it to my dogs.

jay8354 Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Can't really say, as usually my family or the in-laws don't really do the Christmas gifts thing. Best: 3 Boxes of Cigars that I bought for myself Ok: a Shirt from Colorado that is a size too big from my sister (and this is a person who used to live with me, or she is trying to say something) Worst: A book called "How to be a SuperHero" from a Chris Krigo with a limit of $20 (found out this was from a best mate, couldn't really fault him but still.... I gave the bastard a cigar)
El Presidente Posted December 30, 2005 Author Posted December 30, 2005 You guys make me feel better :-D I started the book and it has taken over the Shower Radio as the best present ;-)

Foosball Table My brother got me an electronic dartboard, but you play with the steel tip darts..******* awesome. 2 boxes of cigars from me (with Lisa's help) to me.

Shooter Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Best--TIE: My 3 year-old daughter's face upon seeing the Oreo cookies half-bitten with crumbs a-plenty and a finished glass of milk near the tree--AND, all the yummy Habanos (thanks Lisa/Smithy) that found their way to my Aristocrat! Worst: Fruit basket from a client that you just know was given to her at the office and passed-on--maybe more than once! LOL:crying:
Freefallguy Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Best: Two French cook books(they may run up the white flag at the first sign of a skirmish, but they sure know how to cook) Worst: A fruit tin from a subcontractor that included two apples, a pear, a banana, 6 pieces of peppermint candy and a bottle of white zinfandel. ACK!

TR Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Best: Video Ipod from my daughter Worst: slippers from my mother-in-law i live in freaking arizona, two clicks from the sun.......I don't need slippers.
J-ROD Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Best : Min Ron Nee Book Worst : NO CIGARS:crying:
cobra Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 The Best: enjoying my soon to be 10 yr old twins opening the last presents that they believe came from Santa. Though as long as Santa can bring things like my little guy's Xbox 360 the show may run another year. The Worst: apparently Santa doesn't pay for these gifts that I put on my credit card. What's up with that.:crying:
Ginseng Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Best: My duaghter's first "real" Christmas where she understands Santa and the reindeer story. Worst: A pre-owned copy of the DVD movie "Robots" with the price tag still on it. Up until this year, I had gotten decent presents from my inlaws. Maybe they're trying to tell me something? Wilkey
Smokin_Safari Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Jeeeesuz Skid !! No-one should even bother posting anymore - you the king ! Don't tell where you live as I can see the FOH house migrating. You could now perhaps run a "FOH BBQ Sauce" competition.
Ginseng Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Wow. I've been lusting after a Weber grill for some time now. Thanks for stoking the flames, so to speak. Wilkey
