Least good is probably the Jeremy Clarkson Diddly Squat, Year on the farm book. Best? A Jack Woolfskin jacket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Have to say the best was the selection of chocolates, with the worst being a box of Mike n Ike's. When asked what I wanted I told everyone the same.... nowt. Spend it on others, as I pretty much have all I need 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 @Joe85 years ago a workmate sank a teabag to the bottom of my coffee cup knowing full well by time we got to drink it I'd be downing the cup in one go. I literally got teabagged on the face 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianco2564 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) For the garage I got a new soldering iron. For the bike I got a pair of Velcro trouser straps to keep the legs in place. My Ma-in-law is into crafting and stuff and for the last couple of years makes me woollen slippers. She hand spins the wool from a fleece, I'm not kidding , she has a spinning wheel and all the kit. She then knits the slippers but the pair I got today would fit the BFG, they are f'kin huge I could get both feet in one. We have got to wash them and the wear them wet to end up the right size. Ooh, and these are all good presents, nothing duff this year. Edited December 25, 2021 by Bianco2564 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Several years ago my ex inlaw mentioned to some family members the lack of some clothing. That year I got 35 pairs of socks... Best present was my divorce on my ex's b'day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fix the big roll holder high enough you can dye your hair so you look your best before you hang yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianco2564 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 We went Xmas shopping a couple of weeks ago and bought two boxes of these, one for us, one as a gift. The second one never made it to the wrapping stage , we ate those too. So nice, we bought a third box and started them today. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Tough call for the best. Girlfriend got me a digital torque wrench, the 1/2" one from Machinemart. Dad got me a borescope, so I can now stick a camera down a spark plug hole and see how mullered whatever eBay special I've bought is Not sure what the worst would be... Probably the sheer quantity of chocolate I got. It usually takes me a year to finish 2 small boxes of ferrero rocher, and this year I got tons of stuff, and quite a variety. It's too rich for me, two pieces and I'm usually done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
