When I was about 6 I got a pair of Liverpool FC sweatbands off the policeman up the road. I burst out crying in front of him and ran out the room haha.

Cerulean
Not very cerulean eh
I got some pairs of Looney Tunes socks 5 years in a row from my grandmother, those were miserable years. She stopped doing that 4 years ago, cos she died.

When I was 17 I had collected a massive load of vinyl, but all I had to play it on was one of those shit ALBA midi hifis with a flinstones turntable on the top that makes all your music sound shit. I told my parents that this Christmas they should buy me a standalone turntable, one that has a good needle, so that for once I could listen to all of my vinyl with a bit of clarity. I told them again and again just to get me a decent turntable and explained why.
Come Christmas day there was this big box waiting for me. I opened it to find a really cheap ALBA midi hifi with a shit turntable on the top. I just sat there gobsmacked. My face was hanging off my skull. I asked why they didnt get me just a simple turntable like I had asked for so many times, and they replied that they thought theyd get me this one cause it had a cd player in it. I didnt own any cds. I owned loads of vinyl though. I tried to look happy, but I could feel the weight in the front of my face.

i don't have a wristwatch since almost 5 years now. I lost it on a highway when i tried to throw a bottle of beer out of the cars window. I got stuck with me wristband on the window pane when pulled me hand back in and off it was. It's possibly still lying there. Since that me mum was going on to gave me money every christmas so that i could buy a new one. I never did, cause i couldn't find a decent one and so i spent the money otherwise.

I never wear writstwatches. Yeah he laughed. I also got a good guy doll one year for christmas cos my dad wanted to see my reaction when I opened it. think I was about 4 and I was so scared I pulled the xmas tree down trying to get away from it.
the dalmations jumper is an essential part of my wardrobe.
best christmas present I ever got was a signed everton shirt with a limited edition box of badges with about 20 badges and the match ball from the Coventry v's Everton last match of the season when coventry equalised 11 minutes before the end and we only avoided relagation cos I think Bolton lost or something. 1998 I think it was. maybe 99

I was there at that match. I saw John run onto the pitch from the main stand. Gareth Farrelly scored, Barmby missed a pen, Chelsea beat Bolton. It rained, I got a pie dinner from the Goodison Fish Bar. We walked into town and got hammered. Anyway, Christmas yeah. I had a pair of brown Popeye cords once and the zip got stuck, which resulted in me shitting down the back of my legs on Christmas day. Luckily I had a pair of navy blue Superman nylon slacks, which were more than enough as a replacement.bleed_black_orchid said:

The best one I got was this bunch of paper characters from a tv-series tale that you could cut out and play with them. I guess this was the best cause I remember only this one, it really made me happy.
Adult presents are different, but the greatest presents weren't for Christmas. Once I got a ticket for Tori Amos's concert in Vienna for my birthday, it was so shocking I started to cry.
Worst presents, I don't really know, my sister bought me a hat once but I told her I wouldn't wear it and we took it back to the shop and bought something else instead.

Steak and kidney puddings are a delicacy. Ive probably had less than 15 in my entire life, yet they top my pie chart. Them pub pies are fantastic as well, as are steak and guinness, proper Cornish pasties from Cornwall, Jamaican patties, pork and apple pies, all Sayers pasties do the job as well.
