Totally bu@@ered this year. I normally buy season tickets for myself an the daughter, infact both daughters wanted them this year, but oops I can't make it on a Fridays.
Now got to think of something else? Perfume? Coat? driving lessons? I know what ever I buy it will be wrong

The men in the family are always the hard ones to buy for, and this years no different

Id buy the following though

Charlie Caroli A new red nose
Frank B Poker lessons
Maurice A seat on the board
wheresyourball A new ball
Peawapp A free ticket to a match of his choice
Starbug Hide my laptop and finish his garage off so he can leave you saddos in peace for a bit

What about a rocking chair and cardigan for Frank B , after all he is a Val Doonican fan.

My Gran used to like him and had loads of his records lol

"Paddy McGintys Goat" is Franks favorite .

.

Cheers Charlie





It’d certainly be better than last year’s surprise….

I like Christmas, really look forward to it, and none more so than last year.

The Wife and I usually get one another a couple of surprise presents.

Last year in the lead up she said “I’m going to get us something we can both use at night in the bedroom.”

Wow… This was going to be my best Christmas ever.



On Christmas Eve, I asked will I be ok opening the surprise presents in front of the kids, she said “Yeah, their old enough now to understand” I was a little shocked but what the hell they were 19 and 17.

Anyway Santa had been, and in the normal routine, I’m last at the opening ceremony, I hadn’t been so excided for years, I ripped the wrapping off as fast as I could and there it was……….








A tub of Anti-wrinkle cream.

PMSL
Did it work though
