Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

shite prezziesMy younger brother has recently taken it upon himself to not buy useful presents any more, instead buying "humourous" presents. Last Xmas I was presented with a DIY rocket kit, which consists of a plastic bottle and some assorted bits of paper and plastic. You mix ordinary vinegar and baking soda in the bottle which reacts and acts as the propellant. I am grateful for the thought, and indeed, the present, however I am sure that he is kicking himself after I had pointed out to him that he had spent the best part of £15 on a box of household waste. I am 40 today inidentally and I know that there is a big box sitting at home, a present from my ever loving brother. I shudder to think what's in there ( he was laughing and sniggering and said I would really like what's inside)
hmmmmmm... he tries too hard but bless him anyway as he's my bruv and I love him
OOH OOH UPDATE!!!
as I mentioned, it was my birthday on the 23rd and Bro felt so guilty about my shite plastic bottle rocket, that he went out and bought a really good one. And a radio controlled Monster truck!! I am such a lucky old sod.
