Ok so it's a week to go to Xmas so I thought tonight lets have a laugh. What's the worse gift you ever got and or worse you ever give. Also let's push the boat out, Christmas dinner disaster ?
Christmas dinner disaster... When my mum moved in with her new husband he asked me and my wife around for Christmas dinner. We went thinking we should make the effort and welcome him to the family. Things didn't look good on arrival - only 4 chairs at the table for 5 people (him, my mum, me, my wife and my son). It got worse. The dinner had been seemingly prepared in a manner Scrooge would have been proud of. Vegetables had been counted out - 2 sprouts, 3 carrots, 1 roast potato and a teaspoon or so of slop that could only have been mashed potato. The turkey was a Bernard Matthews turkey roll. All of which was served at room temperature. My son was expected to sit on a small box beside the table and balance his plate on his knee while eating (at two and a half ffs!). Christmas pudding was a microwaveable pudding for two divided between five. We had to prepare something to eat for ourselves when we got home. Awful, awful meal. And not a one off - every meal we've had at their house since has followed a similar pattern, even barbecues. Worst thing is that the guy claims to be a great cook
I have the pleasure this year of cooking Xmas dinner, i will post the disaster photo's afterwards. the worse gift i have been given would have to be a personalized dressing gown, (my name on it at the front) I cant stand dressing gowns, worse present I have given was a personalized dressing gown to my mate (whose called Dave by the way)
I once bowt a frozen turkey wi only one leg, I had been art ont ale like before. Both on us a bit legless like. You cant seem to come across em narr days.
My Mum normally sends me clothes from Canada. Unfortunately, she seems to think I'm 3 sizes bigger than I am! Got bloody loads of tops, etc. that end up going to charity.
A friend of mine who is/was into rock music had the single Achey Breaky Heart bought by his parents. can't believe he told us all in the pub.
My dad once got a Kevin Webster car care kit (complete with spanner shaped sponge!) anyway one summers day he decides to give the car a wash and realises he's no turtle wax car shampoo left so decided to give his Kevin Webster kit a try. aye, it went on lovely but was so abrasive it started to take the paint off of his car, needless to say it all went swiftly into the bin.
