What Is The Worst Christmas Present You Have Ever Received?

[OskarTennisChampion]

Funnily enough, there is a film which features Rugby Park - A Shot at Glory.

Robert Duvall is in it, as is Allly McCoist and a bunch of other Scottish 'players'.

It's really not very good at all, but it's worth watching just to laugh at Duvall's woeful attempt at a Glaswegian accent.

Yeah,I have saw it,truly awful @AndyRM .
The best laugh is,I have a cheek to talk as I have been a long suffering regular at St Mirren Park.
Old and New .37 years of hurt mostly

Marzipan in the shape of different fruits. My mum decided I liked marzipan, and marzipan in little shapes in particular, so for years she kept giving them to me.

I love marzipan fruits!
I'll swap you the gawd awful old lady nightie my mother gets me every year!
Fortunately she shops at M&S so every year I take it back and exchange it for something i might actually wear!

That is so intriguing! Is it a fossil? What are you meant to do with it, hang it on the wall? I think it's a thread winner anyway .

Jurassic World 2 ?

 

[MontyVeda]

one of these... (years ago when they were 'all the rage')

stare at static for ten minutes and eventually see a completely underwhelming image of a fecking dolphin appear right before your eyes!

She got it in Egypt - I'm guessing it's an ornament but is essentially a dead cockroach which someone's put into glass.

Oh, and I hope that giving me a cockroach encased in glass doesn't show what she thinks I am?

Cheers Colin, much appreciated.

I've actually seen this catastrophe.

You've not missed much.

I've followed your posts in the what film did you watch last night, I thought you had decent taste, and would never of watched The Last Patrol

3.4/10 on IMDB. And an 8/10 on there is usually shite.

Amazon Wish Lists. Since I have had one, I can't remember getting a present for birthday or Christmas that wasn't spot on. Around October (my bday is in November) I start to fill it with things I fancy, and lo and behold when the big day arrives they all seem to magically appear. Great idea.

(Having said that, both my parents and in-laws have died, so there is less opportunity for random inappropriateness.)

[QUOTE 4087467, member: 45"]When on a Christmas shopping trip as a kid I saw a bloke in Hamleys playing with one of these..

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNV1plMMBK4


I persuaded my mom to buy me one and spent much time thinking about how I could train the thing to do tricks and entertain us all.

It wasn't until I opened the packet that I realised I'd been diddled.[/QUOTE]

I used to play 'spot the string' whenever I saw the advert on a point of sale (POS) stand as a kid (as my mum wouldn't buy me one)

I've had some interesting ones from my in-laws, it's mainly now train related DVD's which always have the most boring voice over, otherwise they'd be enjoyable.

I've got to the stage now where my parents just ask me what I want and I suggest a few options, whatever they don't get me I'll probably buy myself when my wife isn't looking! - getting a bike seat for the daughter for my birthday in a week or so

I've watched a lot worse!

Often it's so that I can criticise films knowing I've seen them - 50 Shades of Grey, the Twilights, that kind of rubbish (I've read all of them too).

And sometimes it's just because I can't believe something so awful could be made - I watched The Room again over Christmas with a friend who didn't believe me when I described it to him.

I've followed that thread to and... he's no taste (or standards)

most of us are sensible enough not to waste our time on a film with this sort of synopsis:
"Johnny is a successful banker who lives happily in a San Francisco townhouse with his fiancée, Lisa. One day, inexplicably, she gets bored of him and decides to seduce Johnny's best friend, Mark. From there, nothing will be the same again."
...and you watched it twice!!

Somebody gave me Joss Weedon's Serenity one Xmas; normally i receive unwanted gifts graciously, but this time i told them i already had it, told them it was utter shite, and suggested they give me a bottle of wine instead. Later that evening i got a text from them... "Serenity is utter sh!te... we want our wine back!"

No way! It is, as you say, tho' hideous, quite intriguing. I reckon the thread winner has to be something of unspeakable banality - my money is on:

A flimsy, plastic mirror from MIL.
Saw it for 99p in the bargain bucket at her local chemist.

Watch it. Afterwards, you'll have an entirely new perspective on the metaphorical possibilities offered by spoons.

He made a TV show too, called The Neighbors. I've only managed to find one episode and it's equally incredible.
