I fucking hate it with a passion  :evil:

Usually do it last minute, but decided to get it over and done with in my lunch hour today.

2pm: Arrive at County Mall shopping centre in Crawley (dodging the groups of chavs and single mums with double buggys being the main problem):

4 x £20 vouchers from River Island

4 x £20 vouchers from Debenhams

4 x £20 vouchers from HMV

4 x £20 vouchers from Next

2.45pm: Back at work.

Think that's everyone covered, although they'll all realise I didn't put much thought into it :D

How are you lot getting on?

my mum and dad are out tonight to get everything, so i dont go shopping at all. lovely!

Just got to order my mrs a digital camera and thats me done and dusted.  :wink:

fair bit left to do... 2 sisters, 2 brother-in-laws, 2 nephews. minty

I was pretty much sorted because my parents wanted dinner plates. 6 of them for the price of 4, but still at £15 quid each!  :shock:  

It pisses me off. I know what I need so it'll be in out sorted (hopefully).

My brothers and I have a pact not to bother or 'i'll get you a pint' and my old dear is going abroad for Christmas and I said Id take her out in the New Year .So a few quid in a couple of cards for mates kids and job done this year.....Lovely 8)

not done any of mine yet, going into swindon tomorrow to do it.

only need to get my parents and a couple of friends.

same here. sorted out my mums present but my dad hasnt said what he wants, which suits me cos i like shopping on the 22nd/23rd cos there's a quality atmosphere about town

A man after my own heart.  It's online all the way this year for me.

I fucking hate with a passion dawdlers down busy high streets.  You get stuck behind some open mouthed half-wit trundling along mouth open gawping in windows with a swerve on board and you just want to nut them in the back of the head.

I'm all for having three pedestrian lanes.  A bus lane for pushchairs and prams for those that use their small child as a human snow plow, a slow lane for gawpers and the doddering old and a fast lane for those that just want to get from A to B.

Pedestrian rage is the new road rage it'll be in the News of the Screws before you know it.

I'm skint so my family are getting presents from the 99p store

 :soapy tit wank: That is a great idea :) ,i always know where i'm going to shop so it pisses me off no end when i'm rushing about and get stuck behind some idiot/idiots  :x

Done it all .. wrapped it all ... and relaxxxxxxxxxxxxx

But I'd bet you you'd get a pushchair 'dordling' in the middle lane!  :soapy tit wank:

i really fucking hate shopping.  I order most of my stuff online.

do Ann Summers have an online site then?

Wow! That has gone right off the Perv-o-meter!

Has anyone got a wife or girlfriend - What the hell have you bought them for Christmas - cos I'm stuck for ideas this year.... :oops:

We're on an internet forum.  I would guess 75% of us don't...

well ... got some Sarah Jessica Parker "Lovely" perfume ... Songstar 80s pack ... silver bracelet ....

For Bird / Lady / Sade (and anyone else vaguely female :D ) what would you want for Xmas?

this shud be interesting!

Do you not have a girlfriend then Fatbury?

No, he got all this for himself  :D

im kinda of seeing someone right now  :mrgreen:

Ok, you seem to have the general demeanour of a single man though

I'll be doing it on Monday.

well its not massively serious .. just dating ..

CD's and perfume, sounds like you got it bad

If she's into fucking 80's songstars then you're clearly dating a mongoloid.

I'm sure Birdy would like a romp with Le Bon, so i guess it's not that strange...

touché  :D

I am getting 2 x Space 1999 DVD box sets - quality!
from the kids I am getting a handbag, choccies from thorntons, DVD

For your good lady I would suggest perfume (Chloe Narcisse is nice) , expensive chocs and a girly DVD like the Bridget Jones Boxed set.

Doesn't it defeat the point that you know what you're getting  :D

No - I don't want to get stuff I don't like and I hate surprises

"Hate suprises"... I sense a typical DMR post on the horizon  :?

I'm assuming you don't let on to your kids that you know what they're getting you... my dad did once and I was mortified  :(

spoilsport  :x it's people like you what ruin christmas!

Why don't you bring her on an STFC matchday date? Pre-game drinks in the Merlin, where she can meet all of the Krazy Kats from the Townend.com!

had to get her some stuff .. she said she spent about £80 on me so had to get her some stuff back

Will she be coming tomorrow then?

Oops, a Frank Skinner-esque gag there! :oops:

Just don't do that fucking Bob Dylan impression he does. Awful.

The real thing is bad enough, let alone a Brummie version.

I cringed at that, and the crazy old director guy, but it was all worth it for Girls Aloud :P

And it's all gone quiet over there :grin:

too fucking right I would, and jon bon jovi!!!  :D  he can nibble my baps anyday.

Northern.  I want a fucking ipod for christmas.  I am not a girly girl so I don't want stinky perfume or chocolates.  I also want dukes of hazzard series 2 on DVD please  :D

i used to watch Frank Skinner show .. dont bother these days .. prefer the Unplanned show .. Skinner and Baddiel works well .. hope they are on for the world cup as Fantasy League is STILL the best!

Fatbury stop making up girl friends. :o

I see you posting, but i don't see you answering the question :grin:

you can't take a blow up doll in the merlin village you stupid boy  :wink:

I already told you about her .. she works in the club shop and goes to every game for free ... the brunette

we are best friends .. and have had about 5 dates .. tho I dont think either of us wants a long term relationship .. personally ive had enough of them to last me a lifetime ..gets in the way of footy!

Was it just me, or was Cheryl a lot more Geordie than usual last night?

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Fatbury, I don't believe you

I noticed that. And when Nadine first started talking, I couldn't make out what she'd said :?

dont care if u do or not ...

and for the record I dont come on here to be ridiculed

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

easy! easy! easy!

for once im not joking :x

It's like Ralphy is back with us   \ :D /

lighten up, jez... dont take anything seriously...

fatbury, if you're going to put this on an internet forum then you're going to get the inevitable slating. god knows i did  :D

i dont get annoyed about anything cept personal life which i prefer to remain personal ..  :nono:

you fucking posted it  :|

Dave has a point :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

but

Please stop picking on Fatbury im sure he is seeing someone from the club shop.

Why would he lie?

If you don't post about it in the first place.....

This goes against everything you stood for. You've lost it man  :(

i dont mean to have a sense of humour failure ... but it just feels like its getting a bit personal thats all fellas

Of course it's personal, you posted it  8)

In all fairness, anyone posting about relationships etc. on here does get the stick - look what Walrus got!!!

I really wouldn't worry about it, people are only having a laugh- I think some of the comments you've made before relating to women have made you an easy target.

Just have a laugh and chill out!!!!!!!!

im chilled im chilled ...

 :\/

Digital Camera & a 256mb Memory card.

I got mine an Armani watch and some speakers for her car, cos she bought a new car and it has 10 disc CD etc but only 2 shity speakers in the front doors  :shock: I did get some little stocking filler type things as well tho.

I am staying single, have enough problems buying presents for my fucking family!!

May make an effort to get a bird in the new year, provided her birthday isn't coming up in January!

If it lasts, dump her just before Christmas 06'.

Or minimum have a 'break' saying you need your own space!  :mrgreen:

God help the poor girl that meets any of you!!!  How mean you are  :old:

Treat em mean keep em keen?! Or does that not work anymore.

No wonder I'm single!  :oops:

There aren't many gentlemen left these days... mainly because there are no ladies left.

Typical tight-fisted Scot!   :mrgreen:

I fucking love the stick that goes on here, the jibes I got over sleeping with that 12 yr old were ace!    :D

I suppose I shouldn't remind anyone about Sussex.....   8)  :D

There is a small difference between "treat em mean" and "dumping them before xmas and birthdays"!!!!!!!  :wink:

what did Sussex do? :wink:

What didn't did he do?! He was with that bird who was into alsorts including threesomes etc....

Thats why 'breaks' for own space are ideal!  :roll:

:twak:

FUCK OFF

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Sorry I couldn't resist!

does ron topp know you're dating his wife?

I wouldn't seriously do that, well depending on how much I liked them!

STFCLady, if I was dating you for example, what would you expect from me as a present for Christmas? How much of my hard earned readies would you expect me to part with to keep you happy over the festive season?

Incidentally, did you hear that Tampax have brought out a range of sanitory towels with tinsel and baubles (sp) on them? It is for the Christmas Period!

 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Thanks for that!!!  

Thought that counts and all that, Im sure something with gold and diamonds would suffice  :wink:

Jewellery then? I reckon I would be mince at buying jewellery!

Well you will get to try the buying bit if you decide against "postponing" relationships at times of year when money is involved!

Back to the original question.
I have one friend's present to buy. That is all.
Shame I am skint really...

Get them a present you think they would like, and a dildo. If they don't like your present, they can then fuck themselves!

Wooo hooo!, just got to give the Mrs' Mum some cash and thats me done for Christmas shopping.  :beers:

shockingly i do that for my mates, if i bother at all.  :)

we have a pack...only cause you know what you'll get. some crap from the 99p store. its the way forward people.

 :shock:

:soapy tit wank:

Done all mine. Did a bit last month and a bit last week. (My girlfreind is a bit expensive, so had to do it in two parts.)

Can't be bothered to wrap them up.

its going to be ripped off anyway...think of it like that. easy as then.  :wink:

am i the only person who doesn't see the point of xmas cards?

*aha i card and present! open envelope, ha a robin/snowman/etc. ah it's from the person who handed me the bundle, hmm no money, AHHH PRESENT....*

you see the focus

Yes Christmas Cards are pointless but i'll be up shit creek if i dont get them for my Family.  :|

i generally get disapproving comments that i don't wrap things or give cards. it's pathetic

although i've taken the hint that birthday cards for the mrs are a must!

Im chucking the Mrs a few quid tomorrow and she's getting all my Christmas cards for me whilst im at the Footy.  :beers:

meh i'll just face another year of being a naughty boy  :oops:

hello all i am a tramp from HULL, please kindly send me a sleeping bag for chrismas as i am currently living in shoppping bags from the local costcutter muurrgghhh

currently i am livin at the hostle but i will make a run for it, the lady who washes me once a month stinks of brandy and i crave the stuff , stay away from henry murrggh

You need help mate.

Any ideas for cheap inexpensive gifts for women you want to bang?

Not expensive but plenty of brownie points (and hopefully a brownie hole) for the thought involved.

ha, legend the brown hole hey! Ive gone for a nice present and a nice sufficient stocking.  Then again not trying to get laid in my case

It's catch 22 really.

I've been after this one for quite a while now but circumstances have always dictated that nothing has really ever happened up until recently.

It’s one of those where it doesn’t warrant buying anything sufficient and nothing at all at the same time would probably be fine as well but wouldn’t earn me any favours.  

I’m terrible at buying things for people I’ve known for years let alone getting the tone right with this one.

Good luck fella, I cannot help on this tho!

Done, bottle of special edition black Sambuca.

Thoughtful (girls a bit a loose cannon and enjoys her Sambuca) and yet still functional.

I really hope i don't have to fucking drink it with her mind I struggled to keep up on Saturday.

Genius! Something she'll like and which will impare her judgement. A win-win present
