Presents
My brother is fantastic in many ways, but present buying is not one of them.

He is no longer allowed to buy my mum presents after the 'plastic bag dispenser in the shape of a cow' fiasco of three Christmases past. The sad thing is he thought long and hard about what to get - this wasn't just a last minute panic buy - he reasoned that she liked the countryside and had lots of empty carrier bags, so therefore this would be the perfect gift.

As I now take responsibility for all family related gift giving, he hadn't managed to get himself into too much trouble of late - that is until this Christmas when picking out a romantic gift for his girlfriend of two years. He felt that the perfect present to express his love for her would be 1. some car polish and 2. a brush for cleaning her wheels. He reasoned that her car was very dirty, so she obviously needed the polish, and the brush was apparently a top of the line one and she should be grateful.

They have both gone on a mini break to a remote destination in Scotland. Will he make it back OK or will his lifeless body be found on some remote Highland moor, beaten to death with a wheel cleaning brush of the highest quality?

Do you know what?
I would bloody love some car polish and a nice brush. All I got was a Nicaraguan traditional costume.

Colorful though.

It could be the perfect crime
I bet car polish is perfect for removing flecks of brain and other incriminating DNA.

Also, where did he get the plastic bag dispenser in the shape of a cow? It must be either completely awesome or a suitable gift for my sister's birthday.
