Hey all, hope everyone had a good Christmas and got what they asked for / deserved :P .

So, what did you guys get?

I am very happy with my gifts.
  • 2 packs of socks
  • 2 packs of boxers
  • Monkey pajamas (all-in-one including tail and ears.)
  • A load of food in a hamper. Like proper food, beans, spreads, tins etc.
  • A Blue Microphones snowball in gloss block. (Very nice mic which I'm sure you'll all get to appreciate soon, say no more ;) )
  • An ACER 24" LED HD 1920 x 1080 monitor. This thing is fucking beautiful.
That's pretty much everything. :D

lol, well Urbs, my father was an abusive selfish psychopathic thieving narcissist fuck, thats just put in simple terms. Its a very long boring story really.

Edit: He still is, I just have been ignoring him since late July. Haven't talked to him in ages. He does however send stupid texts, and harasses my mother. Luckily he signed away the right to my sister, she is safe :D

iPhones are alright. You're totally restricted in how you use them and what you install on them, but they're quite sleek to use. Still massively overpriced and liable to break after less than a year, but better than most apple products.

Edit:
Your friend mark is dumb. Apple are genius when it comes to marketing. How do you think they've managed to sell billions of ipods when they're absolutely terrible at the only function they're designed to do?

iPhone is mega overpriced, they take hardware that costs 200e shine it up by adding 100e, than they add 100e more for their shit sofrware than they add 200e more for the brand name.

But than again, lots of firms do this, but apple is really the king when it comes to overpriced things.

Mac books may be made well and with very high quality components, but for that price i can buy an IBM laptop with same spec and still have enough for a bicycle.

Also when it comes to MP3, Trekstor Organix FM is 10x better with sound than any iCrap MP3. But than again, Apple has much more memory so i cant complain much.
