Note: I mean no offense with the Kiwi statement. I'm presuming it's used much like Aussie, or Brit, or Yank. If I'm being an idiot, please forgive me.

Ain't going to be no chocolate left in the house tomorrow!

Meh, being German we had our little celebration already on the evening of the 24th.

I'm telling you people: there is no such thing as Christmas on the Southern Hemisphere.

If it snowed where I live, then people would be worried. :D

Christmas spirit hasn't come up eversince I set foot here. It makes me sad rather than all warm and fuzzy to see people out bloody decorations out in 35° heat.

It's just so out of place.

But then, that's probably more my problem than yours. :D

Meh. It's going to be cold and wet in Melbourne.

This so called "christmas spirit" hasn't worked for me since I began working in retail. After working all weekend and last week, i'm too stuffed to really care. :p

Merry Christmas to all! Fluffles for everyone. :fluffle: :fluffle:

Check your Geography again. Russia is actually the first country to get Christmas :D

Reminds me of a nice Charles Schulz quote:

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia."

Merry/Happy Christmas to all!

I just discovered the big ass one is for my brother. >_>

I just discovered all the huge ass presents are for my brother and sister.The biggest one for my sister is about 4 by 2,it's massive.I got the liddle ones.I actually don't like getting the big ones. Because normally then that's all you get! And they'll have to wait for you to open all your little ones. Besides, good things come in small packages! :D I hope you like your presents and have a great Christmas day!

I think I've officially become an adult, or at least slightly less of a child. Christmas this year holds no surprises, little excitement and a slight need to get away from my family and back to university.

On the other hand, I'm getting this for christmas:

christmas is the stupidest holiday of the year.

Only 7 and half hours left in the USA, EST

christmas is the stupidest holiday of the year.

Look,just go away.It's Christmas,absolutely no one can be arsed with your trolling,flaming ways and you aren't going to get a rise out of us.Because we're all a little fed up of you're continuous bashing of various groups of people,we're sick of it,and we'd all be grateful if you didn't start slagging off our holidays.Catch my drift?

HA! 2 1/2 in the UK.That means we're better than you :p



Joking :p

What the hell is that?
It's a cambridge audio azur 540a v2 audio amplifier, which I picked up for £150 instead of £250. 60W per channel, with two channels and a subwoofer jack, so it's loud. It's also really high quality sound, so even at max output the clarity's excellent. I'm not much of an audiophile, but I had a cambridge before this and it was the best amp of anybody I know, except DJs.

Wow from someone who can't be "arsed" or "risen" because of my post, you seem to be quite angry. Gotta love the holiday season:rolleyes: I don't like Christmas, I don't like anything about the season. If you don't like it, grow some skin or put me on ignore.

No,I'm just speaking for the generality of people on NS.You annoy a lot of us.You might not like Christmas but at least soak up some of the Christmas cheer will you?

O Rly? And who died and made you spokesperson for the entire NS general forum?

Jesus, both of you shut the fuck up. Arinola, he said he didn't like Christmas. It's a fair statement, considering a lot of people's opinions on the materialism of Christmas. Soviestan, be quiet for once. You do annoy a lot of people, not with your recent conversion to Islam but with your recent conversion to the Holier-than-thou sect.

Now play nice or you don't get your toys back.

Agreed.I apologise.

......says the person I've never heard of. Holy Vishnu on a stick all this holiday cheer is starting to piss me off. I'm done with this thread.

Soviestan, chill. If I have to warn anyone on Christmas, I will be very annoyed.

Everyone, it's CHRISTMAS! Hurrah! Hurray! It's a wonderful day! The sun is shining for the first time in about a week, and I have an electric frypan with "quantanium" non-stick surface!

......says the person I've never heard of.Hopefully that's a good sign, as it means I don't go around advising people on how to live their lives. I spam and I debate biology, it's all I'm good at.

All it's done has clouded over here in teh UK,it's boring.AND it's not even Xmas yet.1hr50mins.Gaaaaaah.

60W per channel, with two channels and a subwoofer jack, so it's loud.

...of course, not that wattage measures loudness (as much as you can describe an amp alone as being loud) in any real sense...

I won't even mention my 2x700w@8Ohm Yamaha amp here.

Fair enough, but it is loud. And damn your yamaha to hell, I'm a skint student :(

Fair enough, but it is loud.

About twice as loud as a 2 x 6W amp, if my maths is right (all other things being equal).

Note: I'm not trying to be pernickety, just someone fascinated by the mechanics of sound reproduction.

Yeah, I was just reading up on it. I suppose the wattage of amplifiers is analogous to the pixel rating of digital cameras - it's just a nice number that makes people feel better about buying stuff. I have, as it were, been had.

Still a damn nice amp for the price I feel, considering I'm getting in on the bottom end of the market.

Nah, not really, you'll be less likely to clip it and so less likely to damage your speakers, thus allowing you to get more volume out of them than if you had a lower rated amp. The sensitivity rating of your speakers is probably the best rule-of-thumb measure of how loud a system is, but anyhoo...

Certainly. Cambridge Audio ain't nothing to be sniffed at.

In future I'm coming to you for advice, including asking which speakers I should get to compliment the amp :p Richer Sounds are clearly out to sell me stuff they get the most commission on.

Home hi-fi is something I know little about. I come at these things from a live sound perspective.

One of the problems with the audiophile market is that there is just so much smoke and mirrors stuff. For example, how do you fancy nearly £200 for a silver power cable (http://signalcable.com/silverresolutionpower.html)* or £300 for a wooden knob (http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=NOB_C37_C)?

The sad thing is that people buy this shit.


* let's just ignore the fact that the electricity has been carried by mile after mile of copper wiring before it gets to your house never mind your stereo, shall we?

It's 6 PM Christmas Eve here.
I feel so behind....... :(

Here here. That last sentence is so very true.
