I'll stick with my 120GB iPod Classic in black. Not as big a fan of the new Touch or the Nanos with the touchscreen. Give me a click wheel anyday.

What did you get for Christmas?
Some cash, a bunch of stand-up dvds and various other bits and bobs. A pretty good Christmas. :thumbup:

Cars
:thumbup: Thats a cracker, once I get the money together I'm after something like that. The older (Mk I-III) Golfs are my favourite "every-day" cars. My uncle had a Mk II GTi which was amazingly fun to drive. He had his lowered a bit and fitted deep dish alloys which looked amazing. I'm pretty sure it was his car that got me into Golfs and cars in general. Also, are the rear brake lights smoked?

Dell Inspiron laptop. Had lots of problems with it so I'm never buying a Dell again. It'll do me fine just now.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
I'm pretty sure Bose have a thing where they replace any earphones or whatever that break within x amount of time. Might be worth having a look at their site. Some of their earphones are a little on the expensive side but the quality is generally pretty good and they replace them for free so it's a pretty good deal. I'm thinking about doing this once my current cans stop working. I'd recommend staying away from Bose and Skullcandy, which are generally the most popular brands in my area. Bose you just pay for the brand name, they aren't really that good. Skullcandy are some of the worst headphones I've ever had next to the standard iPod ones. I'd suggest getting some nice Grado's myself, like these. Awesome headphones. http://www.amazon.com/Grado-Prestige-SR-60i-Padded-Headphones/dp/B0006DPMU4 I agree 100% about Skullcandy being [cabbage] as well. Sennheiser make some pretty good earphones, not all that expensive either for a semi-decent set. My current headphones are Sennheiser CX299's which have lasted me ages and the sound quality is pretty good for a 20 quid set of earphones.

If I had a million dollars....
Ferrari 458 or a Koenigsegg CCX. If I had an even more ridiculous amount of money, Bugatti Veyron.

Your Bedtime Playlist
I've just recently started doing this as I've got early starts for work in the morning so my iPod on its dock means I can use the alarm feature on it. For trying to get to sleep, I've made an hour and a half long playlist of acoustic stuff (Trampled By Turtles, Bob Dylan, Nils Lofgren, Regina Spektor, Frank Turner and a whole bunch of others). I don't do it every night but it doesn't seem to keep me up much later when I do.

Crazy man shoots at school board
The board chairman or whatever, sitting talking straight to the guy with a gun pointed at him has some balls. Glad he missed and security got him before he could hurt someone.

Cars
I quite like Porsches, especially the 911s. The Cayenne is a horrific car however, looks wise. Theres a German company called RUF Automobile which take unmarked Porsche chassis and bodies, add lots of their own parts and make some pretty powerful Porsche-like cars. Their website.

Cheap Biros for me normally as I tend to lose pens a lot although I did get given a sweet as hell Parker pen (like what Racheya posted) for writing my exams when I was still at school. The ink thing inside burst after I dropped it one too many times and that was that.

Weather
We've had snow for the past two weeks. It's probably the worst snow we've had here in a looonngg time. Everything got disrupted. It's thawing out now though but it's just freezing over so instead of snow, we've got ice which is worse in my book.

Today...
I drunk a load of water before I went to bed. It's the first time in ages I've woken up after being out feeling absolutely fine. But yeah, work today and as the snows finally started thawing and going away we're expecting to be ridiculously busy which means my shift goes faster which makes me happy. :thumbup:
