My prezzies this year included:

A book on drinking games and practical jokes. This has everything from the 'put the inside of the matchbox the wrong way up' to the renowned bucket of warm water trick. Next term will be a whole lot of fun...

Some Japanese ceramic shot-glass type thing. There is a glass section at the bottom of the glass, and if you look closely you can see a pic of a nekkid lady. It's possible you could hold the glass in position with your eye (like a monacle), and leave both hands free. For pouring more drinks.

A projection alarm clock radio. Displays the time on the ceiling or wall, so you don't even have to turn your head to find out the time when you wake up. Excellent.

Some of last years presents that I didn't use, and didn't notice when they suddenly went missing. How great it is to have parents with a sense of humour.

Some more juggling balls. Taking my tally from six to nine. I can juggle with only four. Despite this I will still get more of these on my birthday.

String.
A bit of string fed through two pieces of wood, like a novelty magic trick thing. You can pull the string from either side, but whenever you separate the two pieces of wood, the string is split. Great, eh?

For reasons best known to himself, my brother bought me a game which involves electrocuting oneself. Strange...

I get something really cool every year, well, for the last few years.

2000: A personalised pen set with the name "Roger Peters" on it. In case you didn't know, that's not my name. From my Nan.

2001: A fantastic brown leather watch, made by a company called "Bugor". From my Nan again.

2002: A t-shirt that says "U SUK" from my Grampa.

I can't wait for next year.
