Originally posted by wobbegong View PostMy 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.
You rotten bastard, (some)people get a great deal of pleasure out of choosing and giving presents!

A mate of mine was given a butchery lesson run by the Ginger Pig folks.
Learn Butchery at The Ginger Pig Butchery Classes | Marylebone, London > Home
He had a great time and reckoned the value of the product you get to take home was prob worth 50% of the cost.

Didn't one of the Sailors on the Royal Yacht Brittannia once capture one of the Queens Richard the Thirds, varnish it, then mount it on a frame?
Just saying...
