    two years ago, My grandma got me a office depot gift card. I had nothing there to buy. Took me 2 years before I went in again and bought an iPod video cable. I'll dominate this contest. just you watch.

    and the game has been blown wideopen since my Grandparents think that prizes won from a Bingo hall are the best present going for their familys!

    Not sure what the picture is trying to say, the Apple Newton wasn't that bad. I think a better picture would have been someone getting a Polystation rather then a Playstation 2. :)

    I've owned a newton. Try getting it to recognize any handwriting. That was such a waste of money when I bought it...

    I'm always getting them things, people presume that because i'm passionate about videogames i'm going to really like a cheap crappy Tetris clone. I got a Sudoku LCD game last year too:rolleyes:.

    I should have a good chance at this, i can always count on my Mum to get me a crap prezzie. Last year she got me a Tax disc holder for my girlfriends car:nod:.

    Hey! Newtons are pretty cool! I'd love to get my hands on a cheap one. They're pretty revolutionary from an architecture standpoint as well - which, I guess, doesn't get you anywhere but is still quite interesting.

    A pat on the back and "I'll make it up to you next time."

    EDIT: There was never a "next time".

    I haven't asked for anything this X-mas. All the things I want can't be bought (intagible and just needing a massive change in lifestyle that this god forsaken household can't begin to fathom).

    My best friend is getting a painting. She doesn't want anything material and I know she will love this thing.

    I'll never forget two years ago. My parents got us an Xbox360 box. We opened it up and it was filled with books. It was the worst evar! They borrowed the box from a friend and then afterwards gave the box back! We didn't even get to keep the box!
