    Best - a new multi tool for my bike. Last one was confiscated at the airport when I stupidly tried to take it in my cabin bag. Saw the same, very expensive, one recently in Halfords at half price and my partner got it for me. Which was a genuine surprise.

    Worst is a bright green blanket with sleeves built into it

    As I suspected, my wife bought me one of the new Bob Dylan prints - 'Man on a Bridge' - fantastic. To square the circle my boys bought me tickets for the Bob Dylan/Neil Young concert in Hyde Park in July :)

    I'm a happy bunny.

    TFL are upping their corporate image. Watch out you might get lots of grief when there are delays on the tube.

    I’ll pretend I work there say delays are due to the staff cuts we made to buy us all Adidas trainers then just walk off as everyone starts frothing at the mouth

    Is that not what we'd all call a coat?

    Got my annual massive chocolate present from my wife’s German relations today. A reindeer this year.

    “So Russ, how are you, do you still have type one diabetes?”

    “Yes, 35 years and counting, managing it well thanks”

    “Oh that’s good, here’s your Xmas present”

    Mine arrived 25 days early.......

    1st Dec I picked up the keys to a rental property that is housing me & my 3 kids after 8 years if not living with them. They've fallen out with their mum & I've stepped up. Bloody difficult living with 3 teenagers but wouldn't swap it for all the tea in China & Sri Lanka.

    I knew some of those comments you made a few weeks ago were strangely upbeat. Congratulations.

    Bit late to the party with this but I thought this was quite a decent stocking filler present from the other half. Me and her go to away games whenever we can and we have been ticking off quite a few the last year or so. So she got me this to complete

    Also coming to this late - best was probably a new phone. WTF was a t-shirt with a picture of my Nan when she was in her 20s with her Mum and sisters printed on it. I do not know what my Dad was thinking.

    Best a handcrafted wine glass from Mum, still using 20 years on.

    Worst a polyester fitted sheet from Sister, never made it out of the packet. Minimum 300 thread please.
