Disappointing Xmas presents…. 2021 (11 Viewers)

Covkid1968# · Dec 24, 2021

Thought I’d kick the thread off…
My Mrs gave me my presents early with the exception of one for tomorrow. I’m not an ungrateful man but I am feeling a bit … well disappointed. I’m hoping by tomorrow you lot have beaten me on the disappointment front. to be honest getting to another Xmas is bonus enough with my drinking habits…Anyways… to my pressies….
1. England v Austria tickets …. Euros at old Trafford. Errr womens
2. An Everton shirt
3. Covs away kit from last season( same as the one I already have hanging in my wardrobe) why she doesn’t go through my 40 plus City shirts first god only knows
4. A Lonsdale hoodie… I mean Lonsdale FFS
5. My personal fave… a travel container you can piss in if you get caught short on those long trips. I’ve taken that as an observation on my middle aged weak bladder.

My Christmas presents are never disappointing.

My wife has never bought me a present and neither has my daughter. The only other present I ever get is off my dad (my brother doesn't bother) and he just gives me money and always gives it way in advance (End of November)

I always spend Christmas Day just watching my daughter open hers.

As I say, at least there is never any disappointment.

I will have one present a pair of work boots from my parents plus some cash towards my season ticket.

The kids have less than normal so I expect some moaning.

the little one has loads of city stuff including the home shirt with O’Hare on it and the away with Allen on it.

How much do you want for the travelling piss can?

Honestly… you piss yourself once in a queue of traffic getting into Legoland inWindsor and all of a sudden I’m known as pissy pants in the family and I start getting presents like this.

Depends if you want it full or empty

Sounds heartbreaking Otis - here's hoping that the Sky Blues give you some Christmas joy.

That’s a given considering we’re unlikely to play.

Practical presents are the best. Work boots … boom

Why the Everton shirt out of interest?
Are you a big fan of Chang beer?

I'm not feeling sorry for you just yet. You've mentioned you've still got a pressie for tomorrow. Today might have been a ploy, then bang, tomorrow something epic!

Mrs is from Liverpool and she’s a blue. My family with the exception of me are also from Liverpool… they are red. I’m trapped in a family never ending banter cycle where I’m the only one not included. My family are convinced I’m with an Evertonian as part of this banter…. I’m just pleased the family moved down to Gods own city in the midlands just before I was born…

It's not. I am used to it. My daughter doesn't have much money, so I always tell her to make sure her mum gets a present first and foremost.

Be all better next year when my missus isn't my missus (couldn't afford the hitman, so am going down the divorce route)

How is you mum now Otis. I know she was in Walsgrave the same time as my father

Hope the divorce goes okay. My best mate is going through same and a f'ing nightmare. At least his kids are grown up.

Happy Xmas everybody on Skybluetalk.
Let's all hope for an end to this Covid nonsense and a happy and healthy 2022

I can see it being a few weeks before the next game.

Been through it Otis…. It’s difficult but you really do eventually emerge the other side in a much happier place. Can’t remember if you’d mentioned how old your daughter is… but it’s clear you see her as the priority… and that’s how it should be. Hope you and the daughter of Otis have a good Xmas.

She died last year unfortunately. How about your dad?

Bloody hell, the price of hitmen must have risen considerably since I, err, I mean a friend of mine last enquired.....

I could get a slight maim for 2 grand and a loss of eye and dignity for 3 and a half.

A full on snow plough, accidental death was 20k

Do you have the snow plough guys number.
Might be worth it for me
The wife spends that on her credit card.

If we can raise a few hundred for a flag we can easily do £20k. Might need to disguise the title of the just giving page but surely they can’t send us all to jail just for raising a few Bob to sort out Otis’ Mrs.

A festival of landfill.

We need to get back to the true meaning of Xmas.

Alkhen · Dec 24, 2021

Me and the wife don't bother due to just getting on the property ladder, we don't need extra expenses. We sort the kids out best we can and they always seem happy, it's what it's all about.

But this year after not having had a present in a few years we gave the kids a tenner each and sent them into Home bargains to get us one each... Should be funny to see what a 6 & 9 year old think we'd like

I went to Poundland to buy a gift card for 'er indoors.

Houchens Head · Dec 24, 2021

I've wrapped and sent a book each to a couple of my kids. They just need to make sure the library gets them back by the date stamped!

Bob's already sorted out Otis' Mrs. that's why he's getting the divorce

A mate of mine used to travel the country with his job. Many’s the time he’s been busting for a piss when stuck in a jam on the motorway. He used to nip out of the car, lift the bonnet and have a piss in the engine compartment while pretending to check the engine!

The old joke that someone stole the wife’s credit card but I didn’t report it as they are spending less than she did!

I´ll do it in return for your place in the Leamington and Warwick Supporters Club.

I got caught in my truck last year near J6 on the M6. So it was either in my pants, out on the road in front of everyone, or in a new bottle the mrs bought me. She wasn’t too happy when I got home and told her why I got rid of the bottle!
