Posted December 27, 2006 Anyone got a real dud this year, or any year for that matter? I know this topic might sound harsh but I though it would be fun! Last year I got a yodeling goat...it was so embarrassing, I had to fake so hard appreciating it, it hurt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2006 To be Honest (or TBH), I liked all my presents, even the usual socks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2006 I can deal with the usual items, e.g. socks, but mis-aimed humour, e.g. yodeling goats, seem to be what I mostly get! I was just wondering if anyone else got something close to being that useless:wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 27, 2006 Pray tell, what is a yodelling goat? Its a soft toy, just under a foot tall, and you press it's foot/hoof and the thing starts playing a whistling the yodeling song from The Sound of Music. As if that wasn't bad enough after about 1 minute (literally) its mouth starts moving and it rocks from side to side and starts singing the words...this went on for about 2 minutes...it seemed like an eternity!!!

Posted December 27, 2006 I bought my mum a temperature probe thing for food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2006 I got something similar to the yodelling Goat, A Shrilling Cow. The body you squeeze and it makes a weird... noise. Wouldn't call it shrill, but it's certainly interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2006 Any chance you can provide us with pictures and soundclips, guys? I think that would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2006 I bought my mum a temperature probe thing for food. Practical! I got something similar to the yodelling Goat, A Shrilling Cow. The body you squeeze and it makes a weird... noise. Wouldn't call it shrill, but it's certainly interesting. Thats what I like to hear! Maybe I should change the topic title to Lame Soft toys that make wierd noises... Any chance you can provide us with pictures and soundclips, guys? I think that would be great. I think I disposed of the offening item! Ill look for it tomorrow and if I find it I will ill post the violently abrasive sound clip!: peace: But I think I gave it to a charity shop! HOLY MOLY! I just found it on ebay!!!

Posted December 27, 2006 The wireless router I got doesn't seem to like my NTL internet connection that much, here's hoping PC World will refund my parents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 27, 2006 Well I didnt really get much anyway..... being 23 sucks for getting presents. I just got the usual blokey things, After shave, B.O buster, shower gel, socks (which i needed actually) a poker set, some chocolate, a GAME voucher, a Lee evans DVD, a beatles book, a couple of CD's and a bit of money. None of that is really lame....but Christmas as a whole was lame for me this year as I was working nights. Didnt feel like Christmas at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 27, 2006 I didn't really get one, but my sister got a square of white material. We think it's a hanky, but there's no way of telling. I suppose it's another year of "thank you very much for the gift"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
