Yeah some of the questions are a bit obscure but it aint to bad. If you keep an eye on the news at all it helps and if you store up useless info like I do. Also there are clues in the questions a lot of the time.

I gave meself the best present of all and passed the driving test last friday (first time), two jumpers, two shirts and a tee shirt filled in the rest, and an ice scraper for the car thrown in for good measure..

[Babysis]

I picked nearly all of my presents - new dress, boots, perfume, Cd's, dressing gown, underwear, jewellery, make up (all the usuals). Got the 3rd series of Killinaskully on DVD and the Pat shortt Dvd arrived today too with the wind that shakes the Barley. Happy days! :D

Enjoyed giving presents this year more than receiving. Got my Dad a large old framed picture of Longford Town that he wanted, made my aunty a calendar of all the pics I've taken round Renvyle where she grew up (she got quite emotional about it) and I am now number 1 cousin as Im taking my 13 year old Chelsea mad cousin to his first game - He is delighted! So, a very good Christmas.:)

Fairytale of Old Cork!!

It was Christmas Eve boy
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you boy
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Mayfield was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
King of Old Cork City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
O'Driscoll was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the Shandon choir
Were singing "Bantry Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you langer
You cheap lousy skanger
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me boy
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

They don't talk in Cork, boy, they sing!!:D :D

Dahamsta to sing it!!:D

[SligoBrewer]

I Know I'm not alone(DVD)- Michael Franti



I searched high and low for that for myself and my brother. Was sold out at the gig. Still trying to get it.

I got: 2 bottles of my favourite perfumes, a lovely hand & nail cream set, some coffee stuff, a voucher for my fav shop, a dvd pub quiz game, pjs, hair stuff, socks, wine, some gorgeous LUSH bath bombs, and loads of stuff that I love.

As babysis said, I had more fun with my giving this year. Got my ickle bro series 1 & 2 of the A Team and took my sis into town to get her hair done on Christmas eve & for Hot Choc after (she is 15 & we dont do enough girly stuff so was really nice). Best thing is tho Santa brought my 9 yr old a James Brown double CD with his life story. When I had to break the news to Jake that James had died that morning, Jake was convinced that Santa knew that James would die that day and wanted Jake to have something to remember him by. Bless, he was so upset.

Picture hanging set from the parents in law: when they last stayed with us the picture over their bed fell off the wall when they were asleep and almost killed them :o On to Plan B.

From the wife PlayStation and the game Call of Duty. Keep getting shot by those nasty Germans. Very frustrating as one goes back to the start again.
