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.

When I was a kidall I ever wanted was Star Wars toys - every birthday/christmas there would be a hopeful little boy waiting expectantly for the milenium falcon or an AT-AT, or at the very least, a landspeeder. Instead, I would rip open the paper only to find something 'educational'. I'll never forget I was given (after hinting ever so subtly for an X-Wing) a Paul Daniel's magic set and a set of those squashy juggling balls, because it would 'help with my co-ordination'. Needless to say I hate that bald cunt for ever existing (though, if he hadn't. it would still have been someone as equally shite filling in his magical void) and can only thank the good lord for providing grandparents and uncles/aunties who never had a clue what to get me and gave me money instead so I could buy the toys myself.
