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.

Going round the bendA friend's grandmother was getting on a bit, and the family had started to suspect she was losing her marbles. They had confirmation that Christmas.
The family had gathered together on Christmas morning, taking turns opening presents. Having gotten to the end of the pile, there was an uncomfortable silence when everyone realised that Gran hadn't given anyone a present. She then proceeded to open her bag, pulling out a large box of no-name soap, handing each family member a single cake with the comment "Sorry, didn't have time to go shopping"
