Have to do it - those awful Christmas presents!

26 Dec 2007

Sorry, sorry I know but I have just have to do it....those damn awful pressies you get from Great Aunt Clara.
Ours - a navy leather holdall (most likely been in loft since the 80's). Guilty present giver said "I've got one just like, it's really practical for getting lots in". As Blue said under his breath to me (with big smile on face naturally) "Yes, but you're in your 70's Dad"
What's yours?

My son (18 at the time) got a pottery and real fur comedy sheep. It just sits there looking useless. It was from my (ex) ma in law and is the culmination of 2 decades of totally naff stuff she has dumped on us.
There are some real advantages in getting divorced you know!!
But the same son got me a CSI laboratory kit for my pressie this year - so I'm gonna spend New year doing fingerprints, blood spatter and ink analysis - way hey!!!!!!!!!

Exactly that. The kit comes with samples, pre-created imprints to dust with powder etc and its own microscope with light-box. biggrin

I was doing a Forensics MSc a couple of years ago and the house was full of crime-scene images and books and God knows what the FBI might have thought about the Googling I was doing - Heroin manufacture, explosives sources and effects, counterfeiting money etc etc etc. All above board and for research purposes only - honest. LOL

Oooooooo Foxy, do visitors to your house get frisked and dusted down then? :rascal:
