What the lads DON’T want for Christmas
Well we are barely a month away from Christmas, the time when we traditionally buy gifts for our loved ones and they return the favour. But it is also a time when we show how little we really know each other and what we want.
So, after a lot of research on Twitter, this is the short list of the things men don’t want for Christmas.
Jack Daniels Merchandise
We like Jack Daniels. A lot, don’t get me wrong. But we don’t need the wallet, the coasters, the key ring, the mousemat, the playing cards or the poster. We just want a proper 70cl bottle of the good stuff and a glass. To get through the week we are going to need it.
Chilli gifts
We love a good Chilli con carne or a curry. But we don’t need chilli oil (we still have a bottle from last year), chilli plants, chilli chocolate, chilli sodding roulette games, or chilli beer. Please, for heaven’s sake, just give us the beer. It goes down well with the Jack Daniels.
Ice Road Truckers/Top Gear DVD
Just because we watch it on TV during the day doesn’t really mean we like it, it just means there is nothing else on. Channel Dave devotes hours to perhaps one or two episodes of Top Gear that it seemingly shows on loop. But do we want a DVD about a bloke driving a truck in the snow? Nay, lass.
Christmas Jumpers
I know it is a tradition, but it is a crap one. We have a draw full of gaudy knitwear stretching back to the eighties that even Oxfam wouldn’t accept. Please, no more.
