Title: Your best christmas present, your oddest christmas present Post by: TightEnd on December 25, 2015, 10:53:17 AM One of each please, if applicable...
My great aunt got me a "Cat n Feather" cat toy. (http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTEzNlg2NDA=/z/QlkAAOSwBLlU87RL/$_35.JPG) I don't have a cat.

My employers very kindly gave me some Amazon Vouchers for Xmas, a good few bob's worth too. I don't use Amazon, obv. I'm a shop bloke.

Only thing I ever ask for is Amazon vouchers for this very reason.

Basically, you get recordings of 40 dog races of varying lengths (some sprints, some normal one laps, some marathons, some hurdles), all with made up names and prices. We do this every year with whoever is there for Christmas. We each put trap numbers down for 15 races based on nothing but guessing numbers. Pay a fiver each and submit our answers. You get 5 points for picking the winner, 3 for the second and 1 for the third in each race. Highest total score after 15 races wins. To ensure there is no cheating, everyone submits their selections for all 15 races with their £5 entry fee to the man in charge of scores. We also put the numbers 1-40 in a hat and draw out the starting race, so everything follows from that (we drew 6 tonight, so the fifteen races were races 6-20). We had 22 entries so lots of sweats and it took a good hour to do all of the races. Everyone was involved and we paid 1st, 2nd, 3rd and money back for last. WAGs and littluns crush, obviously, while the men bemoan the fictitious trainer of Bloomin' Marvellous in the Flower Cup. Just needs someone sober enough with a pen to do the totting up and occasional score updates.

I had this discussion with a couple of colleagues at work last week. My best Xmas present became probably my worst When I was about 7/8 years old I received a Hot Wheels set with the long plastic strips of track that you linked together and could create loops etc. Unfortunately having a physically abusive father, one of the track strips became his favourite method of punishment as opposed to his belt. Spent many a time unable to sit until the welts had settled Geo Title: Re: Your best christmas present, your oddest christmas present Post by: RED-DOG on December 26, 2015, 01:38:38 PM Oh my Tighty, I had this discussion with a couple of colleagues at work last week.
