Mumsnet Talk

right, ahem. I am offering an American candy bar of your choice (see terms and conditions below) to the winner. the game is to find the most ridiculous house on rightmove to be decided by me. By "ridiculous" I mean yurt or underground bunker or the like. This does not mean bad wallpaper, over abundance of bunting, or livingrooms with Wolf men inside.

* T&C: prize value not to exceed 2 dollars and should any American mumsneters choose to enter and subsequently win they may of course also have their choice of an American candy bar but it would see a bit pointless really. should such an occasional arise a kindly British mumsnetter may choose to send pombears but of course that is entirely up to them.

Well this certainly has - ahem - potential.

my very exciting thread had only one reply Euphemia winner and only contestant pm me if you'd like some fancy m&Ms or some such

Interesting to zoom out of that link to work out where in the UK the mill was.

Bit late to the party, but I quite like this

It's just basically a glorified Wendy House (I so want it!).

That's lovely! If I had the spare money I'd buy it. Apparently they're extremely popular and make you money.

We're househunting in N. Yorks at the moment and saw these two the other day

I'm not sure what you'd do with a sacking great tower but DS was impressed

Peanut Butter M&Ms please.

How about this?

I would have had a fab one a few years back when we were looking. They had converted the downstairs loo into the world's smallest sauna.

Land in the vague shape of a penis

I guess, DeadlyDonkey if you stretch the definition, that is indeed a 6 bedroom detached (waaay detached) house. And yes, that looks like a penis.

Wonky your links don't work.

A garage that is not a garage.

If you open the brochure, one of the selling points is that it is close to Heather Mills' popular Vbites restaurant.

Not sure whether the small table/stool is included in the sale. It's not a deal-breaker, but it'd be nice to know.

Is that a 'fridge, Talc?

Not sure Tee.

It may be a chipboard cupboard with delusions of fridge-dom.

Shall we all chip in and buy this - and open the first MN General Stores, selling all manner of MN-themed produce and fancy goods? It is at the top end of Lower Frog Street, which is a superb address, I'm sure you will all agree.

There could be a Naice Ham chiller - and every wire hand-basket in the stack would of course contain a discarded shopping list.

We could take turns to don the striped butcher's apron and serve the local populace with a cheery rub of our ruddy hands. MNers would flock from all over the globe in earnest pilgrimage.

Sorry rightmove + iPhone doesn't seem straightforward
Right try this

euph, image 6 is that a pair of undies hanging up ?

Large organ included in sale

Shed-style shed

Comes with free woman who did not dodge out of shot (due to lack of space, presumably).

What about a pretty blue doored garage?

Caravan?

not to pretty garage

Character property

Erm, trees?

House that has eaten some Ready Brek

Property for sale in Orkney

Or Barrow-in-Furness.

Or Catford.

Wherever you want, really. Petrol NOT included.

House that has eaten some ready brek

Took me a minute, but

Placemarking for full enjoyment on laptop.

Am seriously considering either the trees or the Orkney minibus!

Like the ready brek house!

Michelin-starred restaurant with a name that just oozes style and sophistication.

Feck me - that's one hell of a two bedroom park home

Oh, THAT California. Damn.

Not suitable for those who enjoy stone-throwing as a hobby.

Seafront hotel with extensive guest accommodation

Have you ever wanted to live in a car park? Near to an out-of-focus swimming pool and pixellated children's play park? Would you like a young man holding a goldfish with an eating disorder?

Then THIS is your Shangri-La.

Do you realise I have frittered away two hours on this tomfoolery?

I hope you're all bloody grateful.

<< stomps off for a shower >>

Water tower with outwardly ugly chalet round it

Skang - that looks as if Neasden Municipal Library fell from outer space and impaled itself upon a castle turret.

What's with the horse trough behind the khazi? (picture 8)

Judging by picture 20, I reckon the vendors are not averse to a game of 'doctors and nurses'. <snurk>

.

.

<< hides behind sofa in inevitability that vendor is MNer >>

I think the water tower one wins.

Why do that? Why not make an extension that actually works with the tower?!?!

Marking place to enjoy later

Was that water tower on Grand Designs?

pm me your address Euphemia (ignore if you already have done mumsnetting on my phone and nothing ever work on it). will give through thread later and search for second prize winners.I'm liking the sound of the plot of penis land. interesting aside- my spell check automatically changes penis to Orbison

I don't get the ready brek one

Lego - do you remember the Ready Brek adverts featuring children with a radioactive orange glow around them after they'd eaten their breakfast?

The red line around the house in picture one reminded me of that.

Ah yes, now I get it

talc your shed-style-shed made me smell my great nana when I opened the links. Oddness. Mobile home in plymouth flashbacks to 1985.

Was it a trifle musty, Nagoo?

I can imagine the condensation pissing down the walls of that des res.
