Spot the connoisseur! ), and every year my mother would be fretting over what to get them, despite suggestions to return the bottle of rats piss she'd gotten the year before! *The word 'tight' doesn't even come close in describing them. The uncle is my brothers' Godfather, and every year on his birthday, he got a pound note in a card, until the pound coin was introduced, and then he just got a card :pac:

That couple that are going riding in my favourite hotel room got me a present so obviously I've to get one back, and I'm like oh I'll drop it over Xmas Eve and he's like hope you didn't spend a lot because yours only cost xxx What the hell?! Who does that!

OldNotWIse wrote: » Ugh. I got that this morning from someone. Usual tool who only asks me how my weekend was so he can tell me how his was. So naturally he asked if I was all set for Christmas just so he could give me a running f.ucking commentary on his. He has "the cheaper" stuff to get today. He "already has the expensive stuff - you know, laptops, ipads etc" - I'm looking at him thinking, I actually don't give a f.uck if you want to spend all your money on your kids and boast about it to someone else. If they drank from your gene pool I guess no amount of expensive presents will make them feel good about how they look, you toothless, red-faced f.ucker. Oh and you know who doesn't parp on about money and "expensive stuff" all the time? That's right - someone who is used to it!

Someone in work has just given me the full run down on what they will be eating on Christmas Day. 'No wonder you are so fat' I say to myself. 'That sounds delicious' I say to her. For anyone who cares, she'll be tucking into her homemade pigs in blankets in the period between breakfast and lunch, along with a 'cheeky cocktail'. I can also provide said pigs in blanket recipe and in case you care, her favourite 'cheeky cocktail' is a cosmo because she likes Sex in the City. KILL ME NOW
