Surely having to get up to touch the screen makes the remote aspect fairly pointless

i meant a touch screen remote like this

so pointless because you have to look at it to find the buttons as opposed to a conventional remote where you can actually feel the buttons in the dark

I once was given the present of a gun rack....

I didn't even own *a* gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack

Lily of the valley scented drawer liners a few years ago, which I'm convinced were intended for my gran. These are cloth-tissue sheet things that you put in a drawer (as in a chest of drawers) to keep it nice and fresh.

jenny2hat · 13-12-2009 11:26PM

None of my relatives ever know what to get me, cause they're too lazy to try find out what I like. As a result I have dozens and dozens of hidious pyjamas. I give people money if I'm not sure...everyone likes money.

Dudess · 13-12-2009 11:29PM

There are few things more disappointing then opening the wrapping and discovering a pyjamas. I get one every year from the same person.

I bet you're not getting Batman pyjamas, because no-one can be disappointed with Batman pyjamas. Unless someone gets Super Ted pyjamas. That's the only scenario where Batman pyjamas would be disappointing

The ones I get usually have crappy one liners on them. And are pink. A girl can only need so many pyjamas...:o

Maybe I'm weird but i'd love to get pyjamas from someone!! Must remember not to get them for someone else so!

most useless present is probably a box. I've a friend who every year gives me a decorative box. I only have so much stuff that can be categorised to fit into little boxes!

Saibh · 14-12-2009 12:39AM

A microwave oven :rolleyes:

teddy_303 · 14-12-2009 12:41AM

£5, and I could go into Sligo and buy "whatever" I wanted?

From "Santa cnut" it said. I must be the Spawn of Satan to get that at 6 yrs old! And no, I'm not 90. Or 40 ffs. 999, social services please.

Recession proof, that's what I am. Whinging Woofers these days. Word!

salad dodger · 14-12-2009 12:50AM

A singing Billy Bass from my family!

To add insult to injury the the cheap fkrs admitted that they found it in a skip!!!!!:eek:

Cupcake_Crisis · 14-12-2009 12:00PM

I'd kind of like a nice pair of comfy pyjamas for Chirstmas, and new slippers.

HereticPrincess · 14-12-2009 03:50PM

When I was younger & quite 'tomboy'ish someone for Christmas bought me a make-up set... & my sister got something I thought was better (can't remember).

& we were all like .. Swap? .. Yeah!

I thought that made no sense at the time!
