My sister (4 yrs my senior) went through a phase of giving me odd Christmas presents; a 10" high, plastic, pipe smoking duck on elastic that made a sort of strangulated gurgling sound when it bounced, an elasticated, fluffy black and white monitor surround, a pair of divining rods, an abacus and lastly, a pair of lozenge shaped magnets called 'Oids'.
All of which went straight in the bin!
It was shortly after this that I politely suggested we didn't bother buying each other Christmas presents any more.Comment

It doesn't take a lot of effort to walk into 'Hawkins Bazzar', point at something and say to yourself, "That'll do". She can still generate as much pleasure as she wants by giving that crap to someone else, it just saves me the bother of binning it on Boxing Day.Originally posted by Churchill View PostWhy?
