Best this year: a 'cyber tool' Swiss Army Knife from my parents, which, apart from the name, is amazingly useful. It has, I believe, 41 functions, including a small screwdriver with exchangeable bits, wire strippers, and (inexplicably) a nail file. It is also blue, which makes it look a little more interesting than your common-or-garden red variety.
Worst: well, someone gave me a set of HB pencils, but I'll actually use those. The worst, from relatives who obviously don't know me, is a football alarm clock. It really is somewhat naff. It is shaped like a football, with a little embedded, hard-to-read display. Its chime, rather than something sensible, is a poorly digitised clip of some football chant. Quite apart from the fact that I would never want to wake up to the sound of three thousand metric units of testosterone being blasted out, it also has the nasty habit of going off randomly, and never at the time set.
I'd pass it onto some poor, unsuspecting schmuck, but for the fear that it would start a spiral of hate, anger and mental disorders which would eventually result in the recipient becoming the next Dark Lord and enslaving the human race.
Okay, perhaps it isn't quite that bad, but it is pretty awful. |
