  • An umbrella with a light in the handle? Oh and in the same present another umbrella without a light
    The thought process of that person standing in a shop and thinking two umbrellas is a decent Christmas present!

    You wouldn't say that if you were standing in the pouring rain having left one at home, then you remember you brought the other one with you.

    Genius.

    Totally agree, not only that but the one with the light cost one pound, and the other must have been considerably cheaper so reckon £1.50p in total. 😀😀😀

    I bought myself the stream for the match today. Worst present I could've hoped for.

    Well the mother in law got me a few mix and match smellies, but think she got confused and I also got a gift wrapped Carex anti bacterial hand wash

    Yeah I was struggling with that. Or is it a goat shaped swimming hat? Or one made of goat skin?

    Here it is, a swim hat with goats on.
    Goats are pretty good swimmers actually but avoid it as they hate getting wet.
    Not waterproof you see.

    What did you want a not-waterproof-swimming-hat for? Regardless of what’s printed on it?

    Lol it’s the same material as the waterpolo hats.
    Not intended to keep you dry but to just cover your hair.
    Our pool insists on wearing a hat.

    Now I'm wondering what the first word on that book is. Looks scary to me.
  • I ask everyone in my family not to buy me anything but each year they ignore me. Not because I’m short of money or I’m not interested in Christmas it’s just don’t like others spending their money on me. But I do like buying my family stuff. 
    My wife bought me a 4K copy of Oppenheimer which I really did want and was my only present to open from her.

    Nuala is a seasoned cold water swimmer. Essential reading for us nutters who love getting in the sea all year 😎

    My Sis and her husband came over today. He’s a director of the print company who made the Taylor Swift Reputation tour VIP boxes. They had a spare one in his office and gave it to her. She was beside herself and said that other than the concert tickets we got her, was best thing she’s been given all year.

    Worst.  Charlton.
  • No worst pressies this year.

    Got tickets to see the smyths (smiths tribute band) at Shepherd’s Bush empire in a couple of weeks with my son. I had tickets to see morrisey in Perth at the beginning of December but he cancelled on the day so this is the next best thing.

    also, my wife bought me/us tickets to see Niall Rodgers in July at dreamland, Margate.

    really looking forward to both.
