    Well, that would require an extra "L"

    They are nice, though.

    Why is this thread in the fantasy section? Can a staff member move it?

    It's generally better to click "report" on the starting post rather than to ask on the thread.

    I think it is because a lot of my threads are created in the Fantasy section so it gets confusing. Sorry about that.

    Not really one to brag about presents, and I didn't get as much this year because a) I stopped caring and let my parents spend more money on my younger siblings, and b) I'm saving to go to South Africa on a research trip this summer. But in the spirit of that I did get this really awesome Jonathan Kingdon poster I've been admiring for a while!

    I deduce that you are a male aged between 12 and 50... It's not Christmas without at least one body spray & deodorant combo gift! :p

    Exactly right, I got two packs. Atleast I won't have to go shopping for a long time.

    I was about to make a similar comment, including the latest Guinness Book of World Records as a typical lads present. I get at least one of those a year (and one year got three from various people).

    I would have naively lowered the age bracket to 30 however. I honestly had no idea I could expect the Lynx for another few decades. It’s a good thing I like it.

    Lynx has to be one of the lamest presents though. Firstly you just went to the supermarket and spent a few dollars on it, and secondly you're implying that the person has an odour problem.

    "Hey, Merry Christmas, I couldn't be bothered going to a real shop or spending more than a cup of coffee on your present, plus you smell, so here's some Lynx."

    The most annoying thing about Lynx is:
    “Honey I got you a present!”
    *opens parcel and discover a Lynx Africa box*
    “It’s good, hun.”
    *throws box in bin*
