[QUOTE="Leemcl, post: 467521, member: 6474"] The thing that sent me over the edge today was receiving a Rouge One sweatshirt and a stormtrooper wallet via Special Delivery this morning. What the feck is the point in that ? A) it’s too late for Christmas, why post Special Delivery I only live 10 minutes drive away. I have no pressing need to wrap my cold body in a poly cotton blend sweatshirt with a piss poor logo on the front. B) the real value of the items is less than the cost of the special delivery. So why the rush ? C) what part of “No Star Wars tat this year” makes no sense and enables someone to go buy this junk ? This ****. Added to other tat I received this year has been in my kitchen all day and I am thinking. “Do I bin it, do I give it away ( who the hell would want it ) do I take to charity ?” Then ten minutes ago - via text “did your presents arrive ?” My reply, through gritted teeth. “yes. Thank you, arrived today” Next text “I hope you loved your presents !” Every part of me wished I replied with - “**** you. Is this what you think of me ? I told you NO STAR WARS JUNK THIS YEAR. And you buy me this bollocks ? I don’t need gifts. I am 41 years old. I am never going out in a Darth Vader sweatshirt and hoping to use my stormtrooper wallet in the Supermarket” Of course I did not reply with that. I did the honourable thing and said nothing and just deleted the text. I need to decorate tomorrow. I’ll maybe use the Rouge One sweatshirt for that ! The Wallet. Well recycling is on Tuesday....
