  • My wife wanted a new husband who doesn’t snore, I got her an amazon echo (she doesn’t know yet) she will be pleased 😃
  • Dont currently have a worst Xmas Present

    Best has to be a book called Pro Patria Mori which concentrates on the Gommecourt Diversion at the battle of the somme as is where my Great-Great Uncle on the first day
  • A cycle tyre pump and a aquarium thermometer.
    Best as every year.......
    Five Christmas cards from German Shepherd dogs we sponsor given up for destruction up to six years ago. :)
  • No worst one. Best so far, Star Wars slippers from my daughter
  • I'm slightly confused as to why my MIL got me a Nico Rosberg signature t-shirt. it's quite nice though so all is good
  • Sponsored links:


  • Best, 3 biographies Roger Daltrey, Johnny Cash, Alan Turing

    Worst, none.
  • Best - Ray Campi CD. Worst, a Christmas T-shirt with a surfing santa on it. Now that wouldn't have been so bad, but the well meaning friend who bought it, knew that the missus had bought me a blinding Christmas Hawaiian shirt. I don't need two once a year shirts... Still, it's the thought that counts. :smile:

    @ForeverAddickted Straight away I thought of Wilfred Owens poem
    DULCE ET DECORUM EST

    Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
    Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
    Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
    And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
    Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
    But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
    Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
    Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
    Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling,
    Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
    But someone still was yelling out and stumbling,
    And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime . . .
    Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
    As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
    In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
    He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
    If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
    Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
    And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
    His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
    If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
    Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
    Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
    Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
    My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
    To children ardent for some desperate glory,
    The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
    Pro patria mori.

    Wilfred Owen
  • So far....I've got nothing.

    So the best , the worst, the weirdest/,random.

    Is part of a collective "f*ck all"
  • We have dogs and I hate them (piss and shit everywhere ) and I’m always complaining about having to dodge poo in the garden .
    So wife bought me some “don’t step in it “ dog poo game ffs

    Surely if you hate dogs you wouldn't have them.
  • Some gourmet hot sauces. Packed the fridge with big roll.
  • Sponsored links:


  • Best so far, and pretty much only, is My Turn by Johan Cruyff. Will get most presents tomorrow so hoping for something a bit better then. I think MsAA has got me a ticket for some event in Paris so that will probably top the list.
  • The cheese an kisses bought me a collection of old Charlton programmes. She moans that I spend enough time on the kharzi, I’ll be on the throne for hours now!
  • Got the signed Taylor and Grant poster from the musuem. Best present this year
  • We have dogs and I hate them (piss and shit everywhere ) and I’m always complaining about having to dodge poo in the garden .
    So wife bought me some “don’t step in it “ dog poo game ffs

    More a case of he likes pussy, therefore he has dogs.
  • Tickets from the wife for her and me to see Billy Joel at Wembley in June. Well chuffed.
