Just listening to a Pompey fan who has taken his wife up to Hartlepool for today's postponed game.

It was her Xmas present!!!

Good man

My wife needs to count herself lucky. This year she has got some wellies. Last year she had some chopping boards.

Next year should be a divorse

Sensible and practical. Truly her cup runneth over :)

I bought my wife a puzzle.

My missus quite often thinks I've bought her one. As in "Why the fuck did you think I'd like that?"

He doesn't want to spend that much!

Plus I'm not sure 'shit Christmas presents' is an acceptable reason for petitioning for a decree nisi, though it should be.

Mines got wellies as well, I may be seen at colchester with a tread imprint on my forehead.

Not sure about you but I was surprised how expensive they are!! I wasn't expecting to pay more than £15!

Cheap feckers  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

£85 fecking quid to be precise!

Hunter by perchance?

Yep. I thought my luck was in until i saw them. Should have known she never goes cheap.....bar me obviously :)

And I thought that spending £30 was a lot!!

I got my misses a cheese grater with a picture of Jesus on it. It says "our grate lord" down the handle. She may not see the funny side tomorrow morning.

Got my Mrs anti-wrinkle cream.

Got my other half a book entitled 'HRT@ The Menopause'.

It's nice to get something useful...

Well, I hope yous have all got a Shower Feet for that special girl in your life.

Calloused feet are no-no

A guy I used to work with got his wife ( now ex wife ) an ironing board cover and a years subscription to Slimmers World

I got the wife a set of stretch mark creams for her pregnancy, she got me a diet cook book.

we have not embraced Christmas at all

Like the true romantic that I am,got the wife breakdown recovery...she wasn't too chuffed for some reason

I think the one common thing about this thread is that women don't appreciate the efforts men make at Christmas. Miserable sods.

I got my wife saucepans one year.

She did ask for them mind.

2 years ago i brought my ex a day out at a perfumers & she could design her own perfume as well as getting a lesson in how to make nice perfume, it is still sat in the celophane wrapper that it came in, in a cupboard. a year out of date.

That actually sounds a pretty good brownie point present.

Left it late, but all done from 10-11 this morning happy days and a few beers in RWB tonight!  :pint:

You should slosh some under yer pits you stinking fuck instead of assaulting our nostrils in the TE every fucking Saturday.

Mrs Flash to get a Sat Nav with my chopper set as home.

My girlfriend's getting a remote controlled Mini.

I can't afford a real one.

Do any kids carol sing where you live ? Seems to be a thing of the past, When we were kids it was a way of making a few quid to buy the parents a present. Think we have had one lot knocking on the door in the last two or three years but none this year.

I think i have had the most useless present this year, the ex brought me from the kids. A Phillips mood light that can change colour as below.

On a bright side i have had the new Madness cd off of my mum & dad.

the other half wanted one of those but I could not bring myself to buy one

Highlights for me are Tupperware and a fake South Africa footy shirt, I'm have zero link to South Africa.

Did her boss get her one instead

A Jasper conran jacket in XL.  Its slightly big for me.  Until 2 months ago i was XXXL.  This makes me happy. 

Remote controlled helicopter
Bridge camera
Spacehopper

 :D :D :D :D

DRINK .. DRINK .. :pint: DRINK !!

yes I am 9

You better keep it shut Jutty...I got Mrs flash a mood light...£4 in comet clear out......we now have a purple living room.

I called it a moody bitch light when she opened it.

Jimmy Saville?

Jimmy Saville what ?

 As in the effect of all these stories of predatory paedos everywhere, even if the threat is no more now than before the awareness is and I think it means people are more protective of their kids...

Some nice prezzies though the cufflinks from Next were a tad bizarre.

A fucking parking ticket from SBC.

Think I was half on and half off the double yellows. Yet people who parked on them and on the pavement before me never got one. They were still parked there on my return!

Should I contest it?

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Which I understand. But give the other fuckers a ticket as well. At least I wasn't causing an obstruction or blocking a highway.

My pressies were uniformly shit - socks, pants, a belt that is too big for me as I have lost weight and a watch that doesn't fit me as it is a childs size. There were 2 cd's that were what I wanted, but I had ordered them and given them to the kids to give to me!

Two wrongs don't make a right.

There were 3 males in the house for Christmas, aged 27(me), 35(bro in law), 45(dad in law)
The two eldest got remote control helicopters. I didn't. How does that work

to add, got some DVD's House Season 1, Dexter Season 1 and 2, Prison Break (all seasons)
COD BO2, Lots of chocolates, socks and my other half got the photo we took from the spot I proposed to her printed onto canvas and framed. Looks wicked.

chocolate, socks and depression.

At 27 you are way too young for one mate.

You may hurt yourself and stuff

I'm 34 and I got one. \:)/

You bunch of cunts. I didn't get a helicopter.

I got four of em and welded them together

Your dad in law's 10 years older than his son?  :eek:  ;)

its his son in law :-)

one of my 'friends' bought me a pack of bangalos - WTF

My other half knows I like collecting old Town shirts (well, almost any old football shirts really), so she got me the 93/94 yellow away shirt. Colour me impressed.

Just back from Ireland. The missus got me an iPad mini, well chuffed.

think I've reached the age where I receive lots of socks. I got lots of socks this year.

wife and I got tickets to the opera too

I only got a pair of Guinness socks this year. Bit disappointed as who buys their own socks!

i got my socks quota for the year, 10 pairs. not enough boxers though, only the 1 set

Got plenty of socks and only 1 pair of boxers. I say boxers because that's what I thought they were in the box. Was initially quite please as they were Armani ones. Turns out they are pants. Splendid.

No socks, but plenty of boxer shorts. Also got some gift vouchers, chocolate, some books and a cd as well as a decent pair of cufflinks. Did get a rather nice Armani watch for my birthday too.

She probably brought it from matchwornshirts, he seems to sell every old Town shirt now days.

Some running jackets and compression tops, karl pilkington books and a couple of box sets - the olympics review and I.T. Crowd. Keeping me going nicely

Pants,socks,smellies,chocolates,whiskey,electric razor and a denon mini hifi

Jesus, commercialism is well and truly alive on the TEF Christmas gift front.

I got a couple of M&S shirts, some cashew nuts, a small bottle of whiskey, and £50.

A few folk CDs - the one by June Tabor and the Oysterband is a bit special as is seeing them live. A nose and ear trimmer as they are the only place hair groes now. Some naga chillies and naga chilli powder. A garden gome with "go away" written on it - ace. The full set of books for Game of Thrones. Not a bad haul this year.

I'm not sure Jesus reads the TEF, Mystical Goat.

When the second coming happens, we'll know if he does or not because he'll call everyone a cunt.

I got pants, chocolate and money. Never felt particularly christmassy this year tbh, so I'm not bothered.

I got a headset for my Xbox, clothes, chocolate and Teenage Kicks 1977-1981. Some belters on there.

Got a nice Bulova watch from the wife and Hollister joggers and Tshirts from the kids. A friend brought me back a bottle of brandy from Guyana just before Christmas which I'll open NYE. Also got/had a giant dark chocolate toblerone  :)

Jesus he knows me and he knows I'm a cunt.
