RE: What do you want for Christmas?

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My Wife - "What can I get you for Christmas?"

Me - "What's my budget?"

Wife - "=A3100 ish"

Me - "Hmmm ... Well there's a really nice battery charger that I'm
after at
about =A380"

Wife - "I can't buy you a battery charger, that's not much of a
present."

Me - "Well, there's a nice little RF keyboard and mouse made by
Gyration at
about =A3100"

Wife - "But that's not really a suitable present is it?"

Me - "OK - There's a graphics card that I'd like for the HTPC - that's
abou=
t
=A380."

Wife - "Now you're just being silly ... There has to be something that
you
want."

Me - "Well I've just given you three things that I'd like and you said
no,
what sort of things are you thinking of?"

Wife - "Well, you don't have a coat, how about a coat? Or a nice
jumper?"

(I know three people here that will really understand why that last bit
frustrates the f*ck out of me...)
