    Both my wives claim to have received the worst Christmas present ever from me. The first was a shiny new PP9 (remember them?) battery for a radio, the second was an indoor TV aerial. Since then we've stopped exchanging presents.

    A flowery toilet roll holder. I wasn't even bought any toilet roll to put in it either.

    A relative has just given me my present early, due to them being away for Christmas...

    It was one of those Barnsley tax disk holders that the club are stuck with and flogging at 2 for a quid...mint!

    Best thing is, they also got my Mrs one too.

    So now were left with one car, that doesnt have a tax disk and 2 tax disk holders!

    My mum bought me a ticket for the home match with Watford in December 2000. A few hours before the match she decided to walk to the post office just as it was getting dark and icing over. She fell and had to go to hospital meaning I couldn't go to the match. We lost 1-0.

    made the mistake of enthusing about the Toblerone I received some Christmases ago -
    the result is I now get Toblerone for Birthdays, Christmas, High days and Feast Days.
