I win I think as my mrs has bought me a Heli boarding trip

so sometime in Jan or feb I'll have my first flight in a helicopter and me and 4 other like minded hooligans will be dropped on top of a mountain and snowboard all the way down.


My Mrs is AWESOME

Nice! You obviously must have got her something equally as awesome then.

I got Simon Crafars dvd and book. So soon I can challenge your king of the mountain status!

Me and the wife haven't bought each other presents this year, but booked ourselves a holiday instead, 7 weeks today a week in the Maldives!!

Been working 9x11hour shift blocks with 1 day off inbetween since October. Still got another 2months of it so decided to treat myself this year.

Bought a Spyke Blaster suit and Alpinestars SP1 gloves, to replace my crashed kit.
Bought the bike a Nichols triple and an 07 spec lower to match.
Fiancee got me a portable tool box for trackdays and some dog psychology and wolf pack books. (I'm into that shiz too).

She got some bits and bobs and a loose lead to go shopping tomorrow with a set limit.

Back to the grind stone for 2months. Maybe wait till all my stuff arrives before I gently break that one to her.

Not here yet, but on order!

Had a good christmas and.......due to an understanding wife and my desire for a trail breaking beast, I ended up getting one of these. Have not had a chance to take it out yet but will make that happen very soon.

got me one of those sonos wireless speaker set ups , its great listening to music again.
Track day at Aragon too

I got an HD go pro and a Canon EOS 550d, and a mug which my daughter had a picture of my bike on

Best gadget ever. We are up to 5 rooms now. Add a room a year. Amazing, it can play 5 different types of music in all the rooms or the same in all rooms. Music server feeds it. Our whole CD collection accessible through it.
When its crap weather and you can't ride it's a amazing entertainment. Napster for £10 a month gives you access to most music we don't own. ( some notable exceptions sadly).[/quote]

Can you explain this in terms a halfwit could understand. You buy a starter kit (server plus 1 speaker) for about 300 quid it seems. Then you add speakers, at a rate of 1 per year? Or you move that speaker into different rooms? How much do the extra speakers cost? Does that mean you have Wham blaring out in 5 rooms simultaneously?

This could be a solution for me as my missus ,the feckin witch, has outlawed my stack Hifi to the garage and now wants me to dispose of my two AV5.1 amps plus my floorstanders and satellite speakers and my sub woofer, the size of a small coffee table. She pretends that it is really because we havent used them since the kids were born 9 years ago but really she thinks they are unfashionable. They are unfashionable which is why they will only make about 60 quid on e bay and I cant afford a 3 grand Bose bad boy.[/quote]


It's as simple as it sounds but I'm not sure the Witch of your household deserves Sonos.
http://www.sonos.com/
You plug the main unit ( about 8 inches square, small enough the Witch won't notice) into your router, assuming you are allowed such an appliance, then wirelessly connect it to as many rooms as you want or can afford S5 players.You dont need speakers in each room if the Sonos units are to your liking.
Then control from your iPad,iPhone etc to listen to virtually any music or radio on the planet!
It's not hype just stunning, discrete wireless music. All rooms can have the same music or all different. And the sound from the S5 players is awesome.
John Lewis sell it or as I prefer use Richer Sounds.
The only down side other than cost or wanting to add rooms is it can't stream full lossless sound. If you are a true Hi-Fi buff that might offend but my ears are not quite that discerning.

I got sweet fook all!! Got the wifey a 16g ipad 2, kiddo gets Wii AND Nintendo DSi XL, I get pj's, 2 $50 gift cards... Shoulda took a grand & bought meself the fuggin camera I wanted first!!!

Well my 50 birthday was on Dec. 01 so I gave myself a combined b-day , X-mas present....a new 690 SMC to go with my 2007 SD!!!!!!So cool.Now I have no money for food.

Reads like most of you made out like bandits - good on ya!

Is it a sign of the times, or the average age of the SD owner: Not one of you said you got laid, a hooker, blow job, or whatever it is you're into - for the holiday.
