My Christmas Wish List

Revised: November 23, 2006

Howdy to all those people out there who actually read this poorly written crap. In the interest of providing some idea to people who know me, as to what I actually want - not necessarily for Christmas - just want in general.

If you could get me one of the items listed below for Christmas, I would love you indefinitely, however I know not everyone who knows me is loaded so therefore if you could provide me with some money to go towards one of these lovely items then it would be very much appreciated.

GPS: Shinco Navigator/Entertainer GM 400

I have spent a good while shopping around online for a GPS device that met my requirements. I bought my car a little over a year ago and have since done 19800 miles a lot of that is routes I know, such as to and from Portsmouth, London, Blackpool and more recently to and from home and Coventry - in all that time I have rarely got lost but when I do it is spectacular - imagine trying to get to London from Southampton and ending up in Exceter. But I do like exploring and having an electronic guide will help me discover many more places in England that I would not have otherwise found - also it aids me in getting to Camilla's without getting lost in London.

After a big long search I found the Shinco Navigator GM 400, at £229.99 it's not cheap, however it does appear to be a quality device with a wide variety of useful features. Its apparent "top-of-its-class high definition 4" touchscreen" won big bonus points with me, as when your in the car driving the last thing you want to be doing is playing about with buttons, it's nice to know that a simple touch of the screen will yield what I want. The second feature that sold it to me is the 2 Million points of interest that it holds within its database - these apparently include restaurants, petrol stations, parks and hotels to name a few. The deal maker however was its postcode and address navigation system, whereas I guess I enter any postcode and it navigates me there - which is a, very, very useful tool. Finally the last feature that caught my eye was the speed limit warning, letting you know if you are going too fast for the road, and what the current speed of the road your on actually is (a life saver for me and those driving behind me as if I am unsure of what the speed limit is, I tend to slow down to 30).

So there you have it, the one GPS Navigation system that I would really like for Christmas

MP3 Player: The Ipod

It has long been my wish to own one of these fantastic icons of modern consumerism and corporate manipulation of people. However I never really got round to getting one, or changed my mind at the last second. I know how expensive these bastards are but I still want one, if it became a choice between one of these and the aforementioned GPS then the GPS would win hands down, although one of these could prove useful, not that I really absolutely must have one, or even need one. I simply want one, and when I get the money I shall eventually get one - i'm stubborn like that, even if the apple store have shitty DRM, I'm not going to be using it am I? I have plenty of CD's of my own to rip to the sexy little device.

My new Flat

This isn't part of the wish list, just simply a update on my day to day going on's in life. I have recently been invited by my friends who recently married to share an apartment with them - as it works out to be a lot cheaper with three of us and on top of that it's a sodding LUXURY apartment, who in their right mind is going to turn that one down? We are hoping to move in over Christmas which will be amazing, not simply because then we can have a christmas party If all works out fine I shall probably be spending next year there too, awesomeness! Hopfully oneday Camilla can move in
