Can you name the most unwanted Christmas present that you've been given from previous Christmas'?

Why you didn't want it?

And what you did with it?


Edit: 2017 unwanted presents, why not do a swap with someone else on EDF.





Administrator: I hope you allow this post, it's just a brain storm of mine.

I had one of the most ugly but surely one of the most useful: I had a UK made Brick with 2018 written on it!


Person that gave it to me says apparently they are in big demand these days so.. easy to give to someone else in case.

She also added everybody has an irish relative, a scottish friend or european family. Perhaps American friends or mexican friends maybe?...In the middle east also in big demand and all over the world really. Cataluna wants to separate, and surely some North Italians will be happy to "draw a line" above Rome!


I must say it is an ugly present, possibly most ugly ever, but surely one of the most useful in this world..

From my side i would have welcomed better some chocolate box and wine to share!!

Perhaps Pato, you could exchange your 2018 ugly brick for some choco and Wine, as you don't drink, though, non Alco stuff.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      Just found these matches!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
