Christmas
This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

I have an idea - on January 3rd (no earlier because I won't be sober enough to work machinery) I will open a thread entitled "Christmas Swap Shop"....and I'll invite you all to post pictures of stuff you received for christmas that you really didn't want....basically we can all swap novelty crap - no money exchanges - just swapping.
What dya reckon? They say your rubbish is another man's gold, right??

this thread has been derailed.
sheesh, i'm away for one afternoon and this thread increases 2 pages...not good.
harking back to the original topic:
Joke gifts. Taw, you get them probably because you act like you think theyre the best thing ever, like your a bit of a joker. People will be walking round M&S and see a stack of a billion "billy big-ass ball bollocker bull****" fish and go "our peter would like that, he's into whacky things like computers and such. always kidding around, that would be right up his street" and proceed to buy a billion of them and send them around. Its cool, ive been there someone gets you a novelty gift you go "wayhay" when you open it, show it to everyone yet for some reason the packaging sticks around doesnt it? thats because when everyones out of the room, that fish, or in my case, novelty pint glass, goes back in the box and into cold storage in the loft. When someone gets me a novelty gift it hurts. like a stabbing pain in my chest. Not just because now you own some form of electrical santa (a gift you can ONLY use at christmas) or a pint glass which has words appear around the bottom, or an animal that sings or whatever, but that the person who sent it to you thinks so much of you that they think you would actually LIKE said item. Every time i get something like that it goes on public display in the box. just sits there, on the floor for a good while into January so that the message goes out, subtly that joke gifts WILL NOT BE TOLLERATED. A simple test when buying "if its funny NOW, will it be funny in 3 months? 1 month, next week? NO, SO PUT IT THE **** BACK AND BUY ME A DVD FOR CHRISTS SAKE, ITS NOT LIKE THOSE THINGS ARE CHEAP, THEYRE NOVILTY "RUSH THIS ****ER OUT FOR CHRISTMAS" GIFTS, THEYRE EXPESNSIVE TO ****.
talking of gifts you dont want. I dont know about anyone else, but im 19, so i still dont purchase my own socks. I think sock buying is still something that only grown-ups do. Anyway, anyone else get it where a parent/ parents will come home from shopping and go "ive got something for you" and your heart leaps like "HOLY ****! I'M GETTING A GODDAMN PRESENT HERE!!!" and you start thinking "this is so unexpected, i wonder what it could be, i havent asked for anything have i? well i did say i was looking forward to this new game, and that came out yesterday...ooooh, did she remember? has mother finally proven her worth?" and then she gives you 3 packs of socks followed by "they were in the sale"
"GHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!" you scream "SOCKS ARE NOT A FREAKING PRESENT!!!! AND WHILE WERE ON THE SUBJECT OF DUBIOUS PRESENTS, REGARDING A KISS AND/OR HUG AS A PRESENT IS, QUIT FRANKLY, MARAUDING!"
phew..i feel better
"it has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime, what better place than here, what better time than now"
