Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

I'm sure they didn't really hate meI had an old auntie on my dad's side, one of those ones of some ambiguous genetic or marital connection that's just called "auntie" despite no-one knowing who she's actually related to.
Every year she would give me keyrings, packs of cards, more keyrings, maybe a matchbox sized car and some more keyrings. As if this wasn't crap enough, they were were all promotional items that she'd got for free somwhere.
But that's not that bad, what's bad is that they were all fag related. At the age of five I had an impressive collection of Dunhill, B&H and Rothmans sponsored tat. Marvellous.I'm sure she didn't meant to encourage me but I am rather partial to a smoke these days....
