Anyone been surprised or disappointed by any gifts this year?

For me.....

Fave: Money and my STFC daily facts book
Not so fave: Roll on

BEST: Boston Celtics jersey from my brother.

WORST: £2.50 Gordon's gin mini-bottle. Thanks DAD! :)

Best: New laptop. Though it's currently redundant as my dad can't work out how to configure it to the internet.

Worst: Lynx bodywash set. I'm not a 14 year old chav. Though i'll probably still use it when going out down the bottom of town

I got a digital camera from my parents as my main present - its just something that will collect dust sadly because a digital camera is just not something I've ever need or used, otherwise i'd have one by now.

If I really needed to take a picture I'd use my phone.

Not a good haul this year - the Only Fools and Horses trivia book should definitely kill some time, some proper difficult questions in there.

Best present is probably all the money Royal Mail have paid me for all the hours I've done this month.

Big Trak.

I know i'm in my 30's but it is cool, even the Jeremy Clarkson dvd is still waiting to be watched.

Got a Boss Loop Pedal. Have had some good fun with that already.

Didn't really get any bad presents. Although why anybody would choose to buy a Mint chocolate orange instead of an original one is beyond me!

Best : Kindle, Bigtrak

Worst: None really, though wrapping up dime bars and reggae reggae nuts and pretending it was part of my main present, until 4pm, was my worst for a few hours.

Best: Adidas Samba's. (Last had a pair nearly 20 years ago) Black Ops for the old XBox.

Worst: A tool belt.    For Fucks Sake.....

Best: F1 Simulator day.

Worst: Urm.. shower gel?

Best: Blackberry, Laptop

Worst: Shower gel and smellies. Someone trying to tell me i smell?

Best: TOWN END HALF SEASON TICKET

Worst: Socks?

Best - money and gran tourismo 5

Worst - water filter and/or lynx shower gel set

i feel very sorry for my mum who got a box of christmas cards from the great aunt and uncle...  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Best - new coat and new putter from mother.

Worst - didn't get much else bar money so no complaints.

ohhhh what putter did you get? i keep seeing scotty cameron ones and wishing i could justify the best part of £200

Do it mate, they're worth it!

I got the Odyssey Black Series TD 09, just wish the weather would do one so I can go and give it a roll!

if i had that sort of surplus cash i'd probably be more than a fair weather golfer. one day...

Best: Gran Turismo 5 or Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
Worst: Like Dave, a Lynx boxset thing

wowee i got exactly the same joyous ps3 games and the utter embarressment of the lynx

That's because we're the cool kids.  :toocool:

what's your ps3 username champ?
i made the horrendous faux pas of buying a kart first off...then doing my national A licence and being gifted another kart.
stupid Bennett

Haha! I love the Karting events. Great fun and plenty of credits for winning as well.

you dont have to spend big money to get a decent putter.
i use a forgan two ball putter which cost me £15.

I bought a ben ross two ball for £30 a few years back and it's done me ok.

Sadly golf is about good habits and i've never gotten into one with putting, which is another reason I've not bothered investing that much into an area of my game where it'll make nearly sod all difference currently.

I have a putter that is fourteen years old.....got used to the weight and serves me well usually.
Looking forward to getting a game in soon....and i got a lovely prezzie at Xmas..4 day pass to Wentworth in May for the PGA.

You golfists are dull. Let's see if I can can subvert this into a cycling related thread. I got a trip to the uci world cup in Manchester. Anyone get any bike bling?

oh dear

Best - Money

Worse - A Trevor Sorbie set of hair gel, wax and styling cream. (when was the last time they saw me!)

Best - seeing my daughters face on her first christmas

Worse - Gloves that are ripped, t-shirt that don't fit and a book i've already got.

Best - Snazzy new watch

Worst - What is it with Lnyx? Horrible stuff, fortunately I have a younger brother to palm it off to

MyMateCartwright. I think. :) You can be my first PS3 buddy! (I still haven't played GT5 or NFS because I've been at my Mum's.)

Favourite: Nothing huge this year, but Goldeneye Wii should be good fun, and I appreciated the floppy Cricket hat more than I should have done.

Worst: Tesco For Men Shower Gel. Didn't get any Lynx this year, which would normally dominate this category, but Tesco wannabe Lynx is really pushing it. And Bournville Chocolate. I like Dark Chocolate but that stuff is rank.

Ooh I got goldeneye wii too. I need to find some friends to play it online with.

best would have to be comedy gold. Frankie boyle/kevin bridges and John Bishop. (plus frankie boyle book)

worst would as trend would show Lynx africa. Im not 14 this is not a cool present girlfriend.

Once I've got some practice in i'll play you... sound like we could get a few TEFers involved.

Ill play aswell

Best was my new watch Oooh and dollars for New York
Worst was possibly some sort of grow your own flower in a bag thing??! That was from one of my supposed best mates as well!! soapy tit wank

Although the thought off Bennett in golf gear this thread has given me has cheered me back up! Grrrrr  :-[

I'm making a mental note of the Lynx hate too!

Lynx is better than BO. Can't believe men would be so picky.
