I had a Credit Crunch Christmas.
I dont think the Credit Crunch really affected us this Christmas.

I received some really nice gifts from my brother this year, they were:

Some bubble wrap. And just not any old bubble wrap. This had big bubbles! And loads of it too. Do you know how good bubble wrap is to pop? it relaxes you and its fun to irritate people! Must have spent ages with this present, but had to becareful not to use it all up in the one day! Still hours of fun!

Lacoste Aftershave. Wow really nice gift! OK, it had just about run out. But how cool does it look in ur bathroom when you have a girl over? She'll see that I have a bottle of lacoste! Every girl loves a rich man. But, heres the best part about this present: If you put your nose to the nossle and sprayed, you could actulaly still get that Lacoste smell! woooah amazing. I guess this is how the other half live! woah.

Terrys Chocolate Orange. He really went out of his way on this one. Seriously it was brilliant! OK there was just the one piece left. But I mean thats got to be better than an empty box because you still get the unique opportunity to taste and enjoy terrys chocolate orange. What a lovely chocolate it is too! Eveyrone was in awww that I had such an opportunity to taste its chocolatey goodness.

My biggest present had to be the cardboard box. And not only that, it was a box the supermarket used to pack Doritos crisps in!! It had that cool logo on the side! So not only was the box awesome in helping me store my stuff - like my bubblewrap. But also friends would think that I was rich enough to be able to afford luxury items such as Doritos! - And a lot of them too!

I felt like a very rich man this Christmas. Im so fortunate because I know its hard times. My brother must have really been saving up this Christmas. Theres no way my presents could have ever matched up to his.

All I could get him was an N64 with Goldeneye.

Biatch!

Goldeneye rules!!!
Goldeneye gave me one of the best moments ever
Sitting at home years back, housemate's annoying teenage brother arrives to stay from interstate, he walks in, looks around sniffing disdainfully at everything. Nothing is as good as he has at home.
TV's got almost no reception, internet connection's too slow (possibly because we were downloading bucketloads of porn at the time, but anyway), and the game console was just a N64.
"N64??" he sneers, "I've got a playstation2. It's way better. I've played every game on the n64 so much there's no challenge at all. I can beat anyone at any n64 game. They're crap."
"Really?" says the other housemate, who has, like me had enough of this.
"I'll play you in Goldeneye for $10."
And so the snotty little brat was almost reduced to tears as he was repeatedly shot, blown up and in some pitiful cases karate-chopped to death while he frantically tried to find a weapon or do anything to survive.
He hadn't counted on the fact while he might have been the best of his friends, none of them were likely to have played anywhere near the six to eight hours a day we'd been drunkenly playing Goldeneye for the previous six months.
The TV, he should have remembered, was almost useless for anything else after all.
