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.

Gran, bless herOne year, about a month before Chrimbo, I was chatting to my Graqn and the subject of the festive season was raised. As I was sick of receiving weird/surreal/second-hand shite from her local market, I thought I'd be adult and make a suggestion. Hmm...but what? Got it! A book token.
Surely I couldn't go wrong? Surely the perfect, neutral, easy pressie in the world for my gran to get?
WRONG. Imagine my joy when "Reggae Hits Vol 3" ( Featuring Aswad! Shabba Ranks! Chaka Demus and Pliers!) peeked out from under the second-hand wrapping paper.
Old people are rubbish
