Bought my old man a bottle of rum as his xmas present yesterday.

Only I forgot to pick it up from the shops. I'd bought the mid-sized bottle, as I hadn't enough for a full size one.

Told the manager I'd forgotten it, he was alright, and replaced it. Only he just handed me a 70cl bottle, not knowing which I'd bought. I'm sure as hell not correcting him  :santa:

  That's awesome!  Will you go to the conference to present the paper yourself?  :viking:

I got an electric tea kettle that turns itself off automatically and a bottle of sherry for early christmas presents today.  Now PA can't burn water (he left the tea pot to boil dry twice this past 3 or 4 months.  Thank heavens for Corning Ware.)

  Do you get nervous presenting papers, or are you confident?   :toporly:

I'm confident. Sure, I am usually nervous right before my presentations, but the talks themselves are fun.

Found 2 Tshirts with price tags on them totaling $45 at the thrift store for $3.49 total.  Also managed to find some decaf English Tea Time tea as part of PA's Christmas present.
