2/3

My presents ranged from, an under other circumstances, ludicrously expensive Burberry umbrella to a copy of MAD magazine.

All strange. All suitable to a manchild.

More importantly my father seemed like he'd actually use the presents I got him, my brother seems to like Will Self and after one listen my mother is confident she can overlook the liberal use of the word 'fuckery' and love Amy Winehouse.

Out of family paraphrased quote of the day:

"Apparently if you are black and James Brown dies everyone has to call you up like you were related"
