I got Mike Tyson's autobiography, very interesting read thus far. I also got some aftershave. Boss and Paul Smith? As you can imagine I had to put on a false smile when I opened those up. Smells like perfume.
I also got a snore slammer off the missus. But once I'd opened it and everyone had a laugh, she wrapped it back up and gave it to her mum. I ended up with bugger all.
My old man and me ma still feel the need to buy me a fair selection of items. Hits and misses as per. This year my socks were family guy. They'll be going to the salvo army. A clock made from a 7 inch vinyl record. Justified and ancient by The KLF if you're interested. Also some coasters in the style of mini records. So there's a theme there. The obligatory Toblerone. That didn't last long. But my best present was a nice silk tootal scarf.
My bastards going in the bin otherwise I'll end up doing a ten stretch. Her indoors thinks because it's got a 'funny name' she can assault me with it whenever it pleases her. I'm starting to feel like Tyrone when he was getting knocked about by that mental bird. OLM you have had a lucky escape.
I got a **** load of Mantaray shirts and a jumper, XXHuge. But my real present is 4 days of scuba diving in Lanzarote at the end of Feb. 10 or 12 dives I can't wait!
I got one of those 'fit bands' that you wear on your wrist and it tracks your activity during the day. Handy if you need to burn a few extra calories.
How does it know what you're eating? I'll be more than impressed if it can tell whether your nose bagging a chicken madras or a prawn salad and knows the calorific difference as well. If I was about to indulge in a nice bit of Artic roll I'd just take it off so it didn't know, that's a good bit of advice is that. You might call it cheating but this is the world we live in.
A Fat and Happy Homer Simpson mug, a couple of pkts Ernie Ball super slinky guitar strings. A fake pair of Dr Dre beats which sound quite ok . An array of smellies, Diesel, Ultra violet man, One Million. Two bottles Glen morangie, Socks and T shirts.
UPDATE. The pooch has just destroyed the Snore Slammer whilst no one was looking, he's mullered it. He's also yakked up in the hallway. Double bonus- Her indoors had to clean it up as I was curling one off at the time. They say it comes in threes, City are bound to win now. Hang on, is it good or bad luck that comes in threes?
Double bonus- Her indoors had to clean it up as I was curling one off at the time. Good lad. Now go and have a quick **** before you leave home. Times a gettin on.
I got an Electric Wok, a Poker set and a guide to Hot Chilli Sauces!! I also got to hold a Boa Constrictor - one of my 101 things to do before I die. Not a bad set of pressies all in all - certainly beats Simpsons socks and aftershave.
The one year I wanted socks not one feckin pair! An overcoat (when it arrives!!). Got plenty of books including the story of the Wrecking Crew (who played on the Phil Spector/Beach Boys etc stuff - Stan will appreciate that). Mrs. LT not impressed with even more books. Standing In the Shadows of Motown DVD - delighted with that, I went to the Motown studios a couple of years back. Best of all, my youngest brother and sister in law bought me a pair of Adidas swimming trunks, because he saw me in the pool at the DW wearing Speedos and the embarrassment was too much for him
Simpson's slippers. Simpson's annual Balloon animal making kit Brut Parka from club shop with Hull City AFC badge Footy books Hms bounty model kit
Got a lovely guitar, 1st class ticket to South Africa from inlaws, few shirts and books and quite a bit of money
