    A Michael Jackson Doll, complete with rhinestone glove :( . His clothes were even too small to put on Sindy. Totally useless.

    :confused: Arent men just soooooooooooo stupid sometimes....

    Yep. Do they not understand that they're supposed to make some sort of romantic gesture cos it's NICE as opposed to fobbing us off with "it's a stupid day". Scabby b@st@rds!

    Why do women like going out for dinner all the time, am I the only one who thinks its a pain in the crevis? First you have to wait for ages then order then wait for a starter then wait for main course then try to get the attention of the waitress so you can get the bill, then put the money in the wallet and wait for the waitress to come over and take the money then wait for the waitress to bring back your money.............. I would much prefer to cook a big meal and enjoy it at my own pace. From time to time a meal out is nice.

    I hate going out to dinner. I don't like people watching me eat. Makes me uncomfortable.

    Actually, just remembered,

    I gave someone a christening card with a car air freshener in it for their 21st.

    Didn't know them all that well, and didn't know it was their b-day, so it was down to the nearest garage.....

    Worked a treat actually, she thought it was hillarious..

    At the age of 10 I received a hair dryer off my parents for christmas.
    as a 10 year old boy with short hair, I had no use for it whatsoever but I did put on a brave face.

    I remember hearing my older sister who was 20 at the time giving out to them later that evening.

    Probraly
    -books already read which were really crap anyway
    -karoke set - worst thing was i could tell it was expensive, used it once.
    -free samples of aftershave
    -slippers from same person every year
    -lynx sets every year from same person
    -a copy for school, had some ****ty design on the front, never used in case i got slagged!

    COme to think of it, isn't it hard to think of what presents u got over the last few years, maybe its just me being ungrateful?

    - As a kid, woke up on Christmas morning to find that Santa had brought me a bicycle helmet. Although I did get the bike later that day.

    - My ma went to Spain and brought me back a Simpsons mug and mousemat. Although they came in useful.

    - My grandparents gave me Lynx deoderant for xmas. Bear in mind I'm female.

    ha great gift,did your granny give it to you? :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,890 ✭✭✭embee


    No, a "friend" thought they'd be just what I needed. For my 17th birthday. It turns out she had won them at a table quiz and I was the unlucky person she offloaded them onto.

    Needless to say, we don't talk anymore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,230 ✭✭✭OLDYELLAR


    probably when mobile phones first came out and I kept hinting and really wanted one for christmas but instead I got a manicure set and a vanity case full a stuff , I was shattered I wanted a ready to go pack oh so bad! :(

    Thats when I realised womanhood was upon me.

    When I was 14... I wanted an N64 with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64.
    I got clothes and a make-up set.
    And my little brother got a Playstation with FIFA 99.
    There is no emoticon for how I felt that Christmas.
