Continuing the Xmas theme, what's the worst Xmas present you've ever received?
Mine was an electric nose hair trimmer when I was 21. I barely had need for a razor, let alone nasal clippers! :D
Anything from M&S

Egg Cups =)
.... four of them :o
A grey old man style cardie from my Gran when I was a teenager. It was the start of cash based presents.

:o I think it'd look really good draped on me with that young lady wearing it ;) :P :d
A barbie doll when I was 10! >:( MY mother had decided my action man games were becoming to militaristic, so she got us a barbie to calm them down, however barbie had knickers you could hide a pistol in and she was out assasin, so although initial dismay, the games got more violent with a female assasin in. ;D ;D ;D
a sweater with a teddy bear on it when I was 21. I think the gift got wrapped and my name was put on it by mistake. Somewhere that Christmas a 12 year old girl probably got a nice gift of whiskey instead of a cutsie sweater.
i''m sure she found it character building Shrecky
A 1:1 platoon of Panzer IV Ausf. F when I specifically wrote in my letter to Santa Claus that I wanted Panzer IV Ausf. E
At least he got the scale right - 6mm - but as you can imagine it ruined my Christmas completely
;)

God damn slippers! I hate them! I hate them! And anything associated with them such as pyjamas or dressing gowns. Any parents contemplating buying such crass christmas presents for their children - are you sick? Don't you know what pyschological damage you are doing to your children when they open their pressies with expectant desires to find f*****g slippers!
Please have a heart and give a 10mm airborne division instead. A merry christmas

But they weren't Pendraken - doubly bad! ;)
Our second son. Well, he was born on Christmas Day.
He completely spoilt our plans for Chritsmas that year and ever since has screwed up any Christmas sermons that start, "And whose birthday are we celebrating today, children?"
[I hope he doesn't read this! :o]
Other than that, I can't think of anything. :-\
The full series of Tintin in thick cover version. I really don't like it much at all. Haven't touched them since. A few more years and I can sell em as brand new.

We popped into the Tintin shop while we were in Antwerp, and we couldn't believe the prices. I think it was 300 Euro's for a replica of the red rocket!
Yeah, I guess it means some people actually fork out that kind of cash for it. It's not like there are no decent comic adventure writers today...

A broken knee, on a boat crash (yes, we we're sailing very fast !)
