Rubbish Christmas Awards - Grand Prize Presentation

 
An ecstatic Rubbish Christmas Grand Champion Jan receives her treasured prize the Limited Edition Special Pack tomato shaped tomato sauce bottle.
I’ve got two more prizes to hand out to runners-up Lin and Alison, I bet they can’t wait to get their hands on those Poundland tokens. Will I be seeing both of you? Or should [...]

Rubbish Christmas Presents Volume 10

Think we’re up to no 10, not sure.
Anyway, looking for something toylike for Big. I’ve got her something to wear (or at least, I will have when I make it!) and something to watch. But I wanted to get her a toy - she’s a child, children should have toys. Browsing the [...]

The guardian’s nicked our idea!
Comment is free: The emperor’s new clothes
tagline reads:
A knitting pattern for a penguin’s jumper is a rubbish Christmas present - and it fails to address the real problems facing these birds.

Rubbish Christmas Presents Volume 9

A follow on, having been prompted to visit the alumni section of Aston University’s web site, I stumbled across the gifte shoppe. This is full of tragic stuff - I mean, why would want the university scarf while you are a student, let alone want to buy one after you have left?
But Aston’s alumni shop [...]

Just Rubbish Rubbish

I suppose I will stop laughing eventually….

Rubbish Christmas Presents Volume 7

(Rubbish Clothes)
A long time ago, Mr Levi started making work wear called jeans. He put a little label on the outside (and a rivet in the crotch). It was good work wear and very successful. Some time in the 1950s people decide that it was comfortable to wear (without the rivet in the crotch, by [...]

Rubbish Christmas Presents Volume 5

(rubbish presents for rubbish people)
“Unleash the sex kitten inside…simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go!
“Soon you’ll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars”.
Tesco condemned for selling pole dancing toy - too bloody right.
Tesco are still [...]

Rubbish Christmas Presents Volume 4

(Things that look like other things)
Some of you are probably thinking, “but I would love a guitar for Christmas”. Well wish on, because this is not guitar, it is a really nasty, nasty telephone.
 
Another phone. Anyone fancy sitting in the office holding a toy car to their head? No? If you want a fancy phone, [...]

Rubbish Christmas Presents Volume 3

You just have to ask why.

from lidl, just in case you actually want one.

Rubbish Christmas Presents Volume 2

I mean, why? Why would you do that? Why would anyone think that was a good idea?
 
But hold on, it gets worse.
In my view, anyone insane enough to attach a tree to their mobile phone deserves to get banged on the side of the head with a tree. But a bloody great big one.
 

Rubbish Christmas Presents Volume 1

I think I am going to buy a few of these, and see how many people I can get to make themselves look utterly ridiculous by trying them on.
I mean a Petzl head torch is one thing, but a Maglite stuck in a headband?
Don’t think I know anyone who can affect a vacuous grin like [...]
