It made me laugh

This was on b3ta, but I found it too funny not to put it up here for posterity.

And another thing...

I like this a lot:

I'm sure it's definitely subject to taste, but the black one is certainly growing on me. They have a website all about it - I do rather like the look and that it can do so much stuff and pause and record to SD card and has a USB port and...

Wondering what to get me?

As two festive occasions dawn upon us (my birthday, and that other lesser one in late December), here follows a suggestion list of what to get me - just so you don't have any excuses:

- A rather splendid Crystal XBox with mod-chip
- A controller to use with the aforementioned
- Shrek 2
- A Global carving knife (no, really!)
- Grill pan, take your pick of a nice one :)
- Wooden Trivets
- Pervy stuff? Try RoB or Expectations or Fettered Pleasures or MEO or...
- Any of the Eddie Izzard DVDs which I don't have (which is most of them to be honest): Definite Article, Glorious, Dress To Kill, Unrepeatable and We Know Where You Live
- Bladerunner

I'm sure I'll think of lots of other wonderful things as well, so I'll add those as I think of them...

[Edit:] See, I told you I'd think of more things. I spot a theme developing...
