Useless Tacky Xmas 'gifts'.....
December 12, 2003, 10:39:57 am
Once again I'm simmering with discontent, the Bah Humbug thread got me thinking about this one.

I guess the answers are obvious, but fcuking why oh why do all these shops like Next and even Marks and Sparks insist on producing all thesecrappy plastic pieces of shite for blokes at Xmas? Stuff like a torch, with a thermos flask in it and a spanner that comes out of the side?????

Jeez, it's all shite, who the f*ck needs a bubble bath that looks like a pint? With matching socks and toenail clippers????

Presents for present's sake, for cnuts with no imagination or what? Or are they for giving to someone you don't like as a joke?

Honestly, any tw*t who tries to actually do any work with those horrible little pressed steel tools deserves to slip and gouge their hand on them.

I dunno about the worst, but I had a glance in the other halfs crappy bird mag and there was a section on what to buy your bloke this year. Examples:-

Some driving gloves
A nice velvet cushion
A old skool shaving brush set
A keyring style car keyhole de-icer
A nice pen set.

Now who wouldn't be happy with one of these eh?  :evil:

Effing nora! There's a reason I use a Mach 3 and shaving gel, and it isn't because I'd prefer to cut my neck and itch like f*ck every time I have a shave..

: as recommended by Cosmo, who no doubt have no idea what we really want...
