The Christmas Thread

[GAA Club Fan]

Had one and loved it bar having to charge it every night. Dropped it and it smashed . Replaced it with an amzfit  watch at half  the price. Does the same thing and battery lasts over a week

I've an Amazfit as well. Like you, I can go a week between charges. T-rex 2, got it on sale for about US$120 last year as they were bringing out the next gen one.

Does pretty much all that the Apple watch I had before it did for me.

Yeah- I got an amazfit about 6 months ago for about £85 online. The charge lasts around 10 days or so and as J70 says it does everything and more than I need.

I haven't seen Spar's  great little  Christmas tree advert . Apparently they replaced it with something else ffs

The horse in the stable and the man in the cable car always  gave me a laugh. Ah, it's the  little things......

Shameless plug for the Christmas jingle single from the lads in PluckSavage: Christmas in Melbourne

Very enjoyable video. Great ending. And good musicians too!

Not sure best thread. Gig coming up in 3arena. Best bar to go to afterwards? Not sure where to go after gigs due to time and transport being limited and now with the time of years places will be busy

Anyone have a Garmin watch that is good/they would recommend?

Fenix 6 I have, loads of extras on it that I haven't got round too after having it a few years but the main functions are great.. not too bulky

Obviously newer versions out now

Forerunner 265 I have. Find it great - Good for tracking workouts (running and gym). Can download music onto it from Spotify and listen to on runs without your phone.

Need phone on you for it but it has a live track feature where it sends your GPS location to an emergency contact when you are out on a run hike. Good safety feature imo if you're out on hikes and especially for women out on runs

Never came across this Christmas song before - Showaddywaddy, Hey Mr Christmas, 1974

Remember the years of "the boy done good" posts on social media when the dolls were getting Michael Kors watches etc.

I've one with the wife sipping champers (no doubt cheap bubbly) in town after getting her mickey Kors..

Would never buy a watch again for her, couldn't even tell ya where it is.. Typical last minute panic buy

Merry Christmas Gaaboarders one and all.

All the basic c***ts are still at it. The sort who come home from work on a Friday night with a Chinese and a bottle of cheap plonk, who then post pictures online of said Chinese and cheap plonk. They come from all creeds and classes.

Merry Christmas folks. A message suitable for any time of year but especially now. From my namesake.

"I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a cat nap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee."

On Christmas you can have a few extra....

Shortly after wrapping up Wednesday's Christmas Eve calls, Trump returned to that theme, posting: "Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly."
