A Swindon Town 1969 tie. It appears to be the same one as Stan Harland is wearing in a photo in which he's holding the cup with the mayor.

Got the Babyliss i-stubble so I don't have to worry about planning when I shave, hate being clean shaven. Also got a couple of Gap t-shirts, 1 Million gift set, STFC rear windscreen sticker, and Swindon Monopoly. Along with the usual stocking bits.

Bought the mrs a pair of shoes, leggings, clutch bag, onesie, Robbie Williams CD and a fairly impressive collection of stocking presents.

Bloody hell. Sorry, but that's just odd. Charred sausages? Peperami? Eh... was this some kind of odd present bet?

And just what did the worst gift recipient get?
