Default Crappy or unwanted presents - what did you get?

Now i know it sounds a bit ungrateful but let me kick off with;

1l bottle of Bells whiskey - of all the awfull nasty blended whiskeys to buy this has got to be there or there abouts.

I got the person who supplied that bottle of window cleaner a 18 y/o Jamesons - lesson learned!

Anyone who buys blended whiskey as a gift should be lynched. IMO.

If you want to abuse your own tastebuds with the junk, crack on.

I got some reading to do.. both Clarksons books and Hammonds.
and the DVD, probably the same one as wish.
It's not that bad to be honest, learnt a little more about the Veyron at the end anyway.

I don't think I got any crap presents this year either!

Blended is ok when taken with Dry Ginger, I quite like it, not something you would do with a malt.

Currently on Brandy, Remy Martin, have not really drunk Brandy much, quite like it. Used to get Southern Comfort every year but cant face it any more.

I got the Private Eye "Dumb Britain" book - lots of questions, as posed on various TV and radio quizzes, together with the wrong answers as given by the contestants. Not clever, not useful, and after the first two or three, not funny either

For the first year ever, nothing crappy whatsoever.

Every year before my nan had got me a "tool kit" you know the ones that look really good because they are so big. But fall apart first time you use them. I had to have a word with her about this after last Xmas, looked like it worked.

Most of my pressies were good this year, only let down are the odd few smelly sets that'll never get used. Not to worry, they can always be put away to be my gifts next year, so not a loss after all.
