Best and worst presents

[Stu]

It seems this is becoming a tradition every year! 

 

What's your best and worst present? 

 

Best is a tough choice for me but I think it's the new digital torque wrench 

 

Worst is the shortbread 

 

Over to you lot

Worst is the shortbread 

 

Over to you lot 

The shortbread would be more useful to me.

 

No bad pressies here. Least good is probably the Jeremy Clarkson Diddly Squat, Year on the farm book. 
Best? A Jack Woolfskin jacket.

Best is a pair of olive green army surplus overalls for tinkering in the garage. Worst a Box of quality street, can't stand the things.

[Tiggie]

I'm very happy with my lot, especially my new mug for work 

 

 

 

[Fish]

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

Will have to make sure that's locked away, otherwise your tea might start tasting a bit funny...

@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

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.

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.

Check out my haul of shite:

 

in case you not sure what you're seeing, it's some hair dye, a skipping rope and a bog roll holder.

If you fix the big roll holder high enough you can dye your hair so you look your best before you hang yourself. 

[Ian Frog]

Worst present was just receiving the positive PCR result meaning I got bloody Covid for xmas !

Cheers

Are you getting those sexy boobs? 

[Bianco2564]

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.

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.

Forgot to mention one of my presents, Wife thinks its hilarious, A set of pajamas, thinnest material known to man, super tight, almost lycra like.

 

To put it bluntly you can tell what religion I am from across the room when I'm wearing them 

[S-Westerly]

Have to ask - who the hell gave you them?!

[Tiggie]

The Wife's Eldest Brother!!

That's an image I'm trying to eradicate from my mind.
