A Christmas present for the masochist that has everything
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat, shops have the seasonal tat on the shelves and are poised to drill appalling seasonal muzak into our skulls for a month.
This year I have been scratching my head (but mainly due to psoriasis) about what to get my loved ones for Christmas. To the best of my knowledge none of them undergo any act to mortify their flesh but if you know someone who does then cilice.co.uk may have the ideal gift for them.
The website has a an excellent selection of of scourges to fit an pockets but perhaps the best bargain is the hair shirt, made from genuinely irritating sackcloth, which is currently being offered at half price - the low, low price of $49.99!
Get them while they hurt!
I prefer nothing. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJust ordered an extra-large but I'll save it for my birthday. Thanks, Jams.

ReplyDeleteAh a fine choice Calum, may you have many years discomfort!
Sackcloth is what we'll all need soon.
