Crap Xmas presents

[Ally 0]

My dad bought my mum one of those red motorola phones. My mum didn't like it and my dad threw a huff for the rest of christmas day and half of boxing day. It's on contract as well so she can't take it back.

 

 

Has she not mastered the 'its really shit but i'll smile and pretend to like it' face?

I got a torch in my stocking... a torch from my aunty... how dark do they think Leeds is...?

 

I got them little pretendy aftershaves which are hardly worth the effor tof opening them, fucking chocolate! Despite the fact I haven't enjoyed chocolate for years!

 

Burtons Vouchers even though I'd rather spend the £50 in a better store.... and I make that obvious at every opportuniy.

 

My sister got me HMV vouchers even though I've repeatedly extolled the virtues of alternative acquisition of Music tracks

 

basically, no fucker paid any attention to the advice I gave and continued to buy me the same stuff they always have, except my younger eldesr sister who bought me a gizmo that turns my iPod Nano into a radio. Which is ace.

 

cost about £30, less than that which the others spent, but precisely what I wanted.

 

I've decided that Xmas is a time of year to show off how much you can spend and has bugger all to do with getting presents that people actually want.

 

bah

 

fucking

 

humbug

 

You ungrateful bastard. What wonderful gifts did you get for them? You realise HMV sell other things too, not just music? Go and grab yourself a couple of books from there or something.

Fucking seething this year because I didn't get any new slippers. Thinking about taking one of my old ones to my mams on Sunday and giving her a good fucking shoeing with it for not getting me any new ones....bitch

Christ I had some shockers, don't mean to sound ungrateful but come on.

 

I'm 21, and I get bought a pair of slippers in the shape of a football and a Bart Simpson clipboard (?!!)

 

Got some quality stuff though, some nice shoes, lovely smellies, money etc. But ffs who wants a clipboard?

 

Potpourri?

 

I got chocolate sardines.

 

 

Aftershave you dumbfuck. Not that you would know, because you're a total scruff.

 

I wear hugo boss you binge-drinking borstal dweller.

 

Just because you wear Hugo Boss doesn't make you less of a scruff tbh. Borstal Dweller? Binge Drinking? Shut up man

 

Have a shave, or even better, fuck off?

Oh she was tactful as she could be, my dad just got the hump because she didn't do cartwheels. The row was quite funny. Best bit:

 

Mum: Why did you have to get the red one? You've got the same phone

Dad: It raises money for AIDS (or something). Don't you want to help people like that

Mum (very coldly): I do enough for public health as it is, thankyouverymuch. (she's a GP)

 

More entertaining than the Vicar of Dibley by a long way!

I would if the voucher wasn't a tenner, but I'd rather spend a tenner in a bookstore like waterstones because the book selection in HMV isn't great.

 

I don't mind that she couldn't think of something specific because I'm not an easy person to buy for.

 

speaking of Books, I didn't realise that Newcastle has a rare book store just up from Bar Luga on Grey Street

 

I'll be having a look in there before I go home.

 

Oh, the gifts I got them? I got the iPod sister Gary Barlows Autobiography, because she asked for it and book of Sudoku because she's as addicted as I am, I got the HMV sister a photograph of New York Skyline that she took when she was there and has "been meaning to have it framed" mounted on wrap around canvas and blown up.

 

I got my mam a few books, a couple by Maeve Bincy whom she likes and one called "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" by Mitch Albom (which I've been told is beautiful). I bought my Dad a tripod for the camera the family bought him for his 60th this year, I got him Alan Bennet's book and I got him one of those jokey Old Git Handbook type books..
