Ok, so now we will be starting the countdown to Christmas, what's the worst pressie you have been given?

A soccer logoed(sp?) mouse mat, soccer emblazoned chipped mug and a notepad. All in impenetrable hard transparent plastic wrapping and bearing the legend "Tesco World Cup Desk Set" given to me by my Sister in Law 18 months after the World Cup ............ It still had a veritable heap of price stickers that I carefully peeled off to discover that it had been discounted 7 times. She appeared to have paid 99pence for it.



Still it's the thought that counts ~ isn't it?

Corkscrew that broke the first time I used it (one of those wing ones) resulting in broken wine bottle.

A Richard Digance video - nothing wrong with him, but I bought the video earlier on and when buying it, was told it would not be in the shops, ever! My sister bought it in Woolworths!

A mate of mine once sent me a CD. Trouble is he had taken the CD out of the box to listen to it himself first and had failed to replace it.

My sister once sent me a video whch I discovered I had to rewind as she had watched it and not rewound it herself. The same sister also sent me a book, clearly marked "To be given away only with a copy of the Daily Mail".

I've been waiting for someone to say they once got an empty box labelled "Action Man Deserter" but I couldn't contain myself any longer so decided to ruin that joke.
