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.

Our Australian relationsare famous for sending over bizarre gifts. We live in Auckland, New Zealand, they live in Sydney, Australia. One year they sent my dad a street map for his birthday. A street map of Sydney. Veeeeeery useful.
Another year, they decided for Christmas they'd get just one present for the whole family to share. What did we get? One of those "Solitaire" games where you jump the little balls over each other and if you can wind up with just one left you've one.
Fun for all the family.
Actually, that reminds me of a dodgy joke (yes yes, 2 questions too late):
Ok, imagine a radio ad announcer voice:
"Hey kids, why not play 'Incest'! The game the whole family can enjoy! Also known as 'Roll Your Own!'"
