Q: Christmas box just arrived from home. Scored big time! Can you beat this?
4 disc set of Fleetwood Mac. Can any of you suckers out there beat that? Doubt it.
Plus a book written by HG Nelson. Can you even beat that? Doubt it.
And some vegemite, curry and anchovies. Beat that? No, you can't.
And a few packets of Tim Tams, Twisties (green, of course) and some licorice. Har!! Anybody?? No....I didn't think so.
Oh, and a little water pistol inside my bonbon...Oh yeah, it's already had a workout in class this arvy.
So, I'm the winner!
But, please, try not to get the envy...what did you get for Chrissy this year?
I got tons of little presents from my students this year (including a really nice scarf), but none of them gave me Vegemite or Twisties. So I will give them all terrible scores and they can spend the winter holiday reflecting on their mistake.
many of my students gave me fruit and other little gifts.
but for the life of me i can't remember which ones they were when it comes to the scores 
so they are all getting the scores i intend
my main Christmas box will be waiting for my return home - can't risk it being sent here
I'm still waiting for my Elvis Presley triple CD, WTF happened to that?? hahaa.
Plus you got the 'Luck' series, you must be like a pig in shit. Good luck t ye.
Enjoy the New Year mate
I got :
£100 from my mum
Rolo's, Cadburys Buttons, Krackawheat, Chomp, Crunchie, Milky way, Curly Wurly and Crisp bread in a package from an aunt.
A scented candle lamp from a friend.
Ferrero Rocher, Danish Butter biscuits and an external phone charger from work
Paulberger:
i havent heard of many of these candy names. i'm guessing they arent american brands...
I don't know what half that stuff you just mentioned is or I might be jealous.
I got a jumper. The arms are too short.
Paulberger:
exactly. especially all the candy names rin wrote down... i assume they are candy names.
You bloody bragger Royce! Well I got 2 blocks of Cadbury's chocolates, Tim Tams, Mint Slice, tinned oysters, cheese sauce, 4 different gravy mixes, shortbread bickies, a jar of sweet spiced gherkins and a tin of beetroot. I bought 5 tins of anchovies in the Philippines which I use on my home made pizzas.
A book by HG? That should be interesting.
What gets me is the cost of postage from OZ. $63AUD to post contents valued at $20AUD!!
@mArtiAn....a jumper? Not many reading this forum will know what that is. I have had to drop the term as nobody here knows what a jumper is! They think I am referring to a kangaroo.
Happy New Year folks!!!
You can buy tim tams in like every supermarket here in southern china now. I had no idea what the hell a tim tam was till an aussie friend introduced me. I immediatly became addicted. Best export since ....... I cant think of a witty answer,... its early..... some aussie hot actress.
Anyways, my family wont send anything anymore so i just got cash. 1000 us, paid for my flights to Dalian to play in the snow, 5 star hotel and turkey dinner!
Oh and a friend sent me the burning fire log dvd hahaha pretty sweet
I got a 1 TB portable hard drive with 750 GB of music from a coworker and a 3 TB hard drive with 1900 HD movies from another.
I haven't had a care package for years! Too expensive to send and takes forever! Doesn't mean I don't miss them though!
