A Merry Reject Christmas

Post by **Ataxia** » 25 Dec 2013, 01:55

When the Iceman brings the snow,
And an F1 driver's slow,
He's put a great big smile on a member's face
If you look into the past,
To the drivers who weren't fast
Can you remember
When Lavaggi just wouldn't get out the way?

Well I wish there could be rejects every race
Like safety cars in Taki Inoue's face
Oh I wish there could be rejects every race
Let us celebrate our rejects!

So, it's that one special day that most people look forward to. Santa emptying his sack across the world...oh, that's not appropriate? Well...I must concede, I suppose.

In all seriousness, have a most excellent, splendid and top-notch Christmas everyone. Remember to make plenty of leg/breast jokes about the turkey, try to find the difference between the parsnips and the potatoes, and if there's sprouts on the menu eat them in a well-ventilated area.

Merry Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everybody here, from both me and everyone at the Plus One Group. Have a good one!

Here's to another year of F1Rejects, through rain, shine, and HTML 505 errors :lol:

I can honestly say I'm very happy with my Christmas this year as this time I brought Presents in my own right rather than my mum buying them and slapping my name on them. I also got a strange mix of presents from the expected Tablet/DVD/Games to things like a compass, A shock pen and a Washbag set. In F1 terms I got a Silverstone wallet too

Merry Christmas to all at F1 Rejects

Have a great Christmas Day everyone, depending on how much of it is left. :lol:

As for presents, I was given a few books, a new razor and two games. They are GT6 and F1 2012 (I didn't ask for F1 2013 because that is covering
a dull year of racing. 2012 was much better).

It was a pleasure to see my 9-year-old have fun with a brand-new Whoopie Cushion today!

Joyeux Noel a tout le monde!

Seeing as he's made it abundantly clear that he hasn't been that successful with the ladies, I'd be more inclined to say that he missed the word brother/sister/cousin/nephew/niece

Indeed. Cousin. Was at my grandparents' home at the time.

Oh, and a happy Boxing Day to everybody!

Well we know that Dr Baker hasn't been too successful with the ladies, but when I think of him, I think of this part of a Flight of the Conchords song.

Well, I'm happy with how my Christmas turned out. F1 2013 is likeable, even if not the best, and the 5 80s cars are fun to drive, even if they feel too fast for their time period. I got a poker set, so whenever I suffer from a mild gambling problem some random day in the future, I can play poker. I also got a new carbon fiber kayak slalom paddle, but it still has to be put together yet, as it's in 2 parts because of shipping. But with the blade shape of it, it could be used as an effective snow shovel...

Once I get home, as I'm not home, I hope I'll find GT6 under the tree.

Cynon · Post by **Cynon** » 27 Dec 2013, 06:24

I got a new chair for Christmas, which was literally all I asked for. I'm happy. I hope everyone else is, too.

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 27 Dec 2013, 07:49

I got socks. Loads of them. Tonnes of them. Just what I needed for when I start woingrk.And loads of food to,for some inexplicable reason.

Not to mention WWE 2K14,which gladly and disappointingly retains all glitches from the THQ days.

roblo97 · Post by **roblo97** » 27 Dec 2013, 08:20

Me, I got a PS3 and GT5 although I am hoping to get GT6 today. I also got some books about architecture, chocolate and an adaptor for my electric razor. I already have over 2,000,000 on GT5 and I have a Red Bull X2011. Thanks to the DLC.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 24 Dec 2014, 18:10

Well, I guess in some Eastern times zones, it's Christmas already, so Merry Christmas everybody!

Post by **Miguel98** » 24 Dec 2014, 18:45

Merry Christmas, my fellow Rejects! Have yourself a merry happy day (although it's already 25th in some countries), and for those who haven't eaten, a great dinner! In Portugal, we'll obviously have the traditional "bacalhau" with potatoes! So, enjoy your dinners, your gifts, but more than anything, your family and/or friends!

Turned out to be a great christmas once again; Got PES2015 for PS3, a Beard Trimmer, some British Mint Chocolate (which is hard to get by here), a Travel Quiz Cards Game, a new bathrobe (hooray!), me and my gf got us new furniture, Wii Party and two tins for our medicines, and I got a new Keytar, which is awesomely awesome.

W12 · Post by **W12** » 25 Dec 2014, 16:32

I got 2 PS3 games, lots of candy, a 20€ Steam gift card and an iPhone

I got four new model cars for my collection (which brings it up to 22 cars spanning the years 1952-2011): Gilles Villeneuve's Ferrari 126CK, Mimmo Schiattarella's Simtek S951, Rubinho's Jordan 196 and Diniz's Arrows A18. The latter three are the first three cars in my collection that weren't Grand Prix winners. I got all six Star Wars movies on Blu-ray (I've had a renewed obsession with Star Wars since the release of the Episode VII teaser), a new TV, my first racing wheel (having tried it today I'm still quicker on GT6 with a controller for now) and yet another F1 history book, and at this stage I know the history of the sport by heart pretty much. The pictures are nice though. I'm also getting a Roland Ratzenberger tribute shirt, which is in the post. Apart from that I got the standard set of clothing that I specifically asked not to get.

Unwrapped a copy of F1 2014 on PS3, DVDs of Heat (1995) and X-Men: DOFP and a sci-fi themed Sound Machine. Merry Christmas to all of F1Rejects!

go_Rubens · Post by **go_Rubens** » 26 Dec 2014, 07:19

Unwrapped a Liverpool T-shirt, a Real Madrid scarf, loads of iTunes cards, 2 year subscription to Road & Track, 2 full sized footballs, F1 2014, and last but not least, a Tottenham away jersey, all a couple of weeks after my Sunderland home jersey finally arrived (supposed to be here in August, arrives December 17).

A little spoiled? I think not! :lol:

Spurs is my 3rd favorite PL team, behind Liverpool and Sunderland. At least they've finally got a run going.

A (belated) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone. Being a middle-aged suburban dad, all I normally rate for gifts is underwear, socks and ties, so I was happy with my F1 Racing subscription (even if my blatant and repeated hints for an Autosport subscription were watered down a bit).

However, I did also get my four year old son - http://www.carrera-toys.com/en/products ... 014/#62309 - which is now set up in my study!

A little late to the party but it was a good Christmas for me. I got a new printer/scanner for my computer, some kitchen utensils, a towel set, and lots and lots of cash. Most of which is going to my apartment when I move there in two months time.
