So it arrived damaged. Never mind, I thought, it's what's inside that counts...

Reviews on HofF website are funnel obsessed too!

Ta da!!! Who likes my new username??

TitaniasCloset · 16/12/2017 15:44

How did they manage to create an advent calendar quite so shit? Were they still drunk last year after the office party? Was it a dare?

'Yeah Brenda we better crack on with next years AC, whoever comes up with the crappest gift gets the rest of the Christmas Prosecco and half a packet of mince pies!"

Brenda-
"I'm your girl! ...I'm thinking, a teeny, tiny funnel?"

No idea how to bookmark using the app so just marking my place this thread has cheered my morning up !!!!!!!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 16/12/2017 13:57

Thank you Cheese, I must admit it had me (as someone posted earlier or on another thread) laughing so much that my skeleton was trying to escape through my mouth.
This whole thread is hilarious. I love your deadpan writing style.

Touché Ecat has to be one of the best puns ever invented. The 'paw' minimiser had me chucking away for most of the day too!

This has to go in classics.........
Ken told me telepathically

ToucheEcat · 16/12/2017 12:16

I've been inspired to namechange as a homage to this marvellous glitter, sticker and funnel fest.

Bendyandtheinkmachine · 16/12/2017 11:36

Oh no that's not on. That eye pencil is too normal. Must have been a packing error.

Ken for PM! I'm sure he'd take on the role with great pleasure but he'd sell our country down the river at the shake of a bag of dreamies.

Our neighbours would sell many stories to the press, I fear it'd destroy Ken's campaign. He once mauled someone's defrosting Christmas (dead) turkey which had been left in their garage. He was caught in the act and shoed away. He showed no remorse.

Day 16 has brought us another eye crayon. This one is silver so maybe it's the evening colour to follow the flesh coloured crayon.

It's not sparkly or shittery and I'm extremely disappointed. I was hoping for a third set of stickers.

Just read the whole thread. This is BRILLIANT. Ken, glitter, dead spiders... what more could a girl want??

totallyLosingIt · 15/12/2017 21:41

Foolish lot. Those aren't martini glass stickers, they are quite clearly funnels.

clairethewitch70 · 15/12/2017 18:13

Decorate the funnel with the stickers

kwick · 15/12/2017 18:09

@TracyBeakerSoYeah I second your motion!!! Ken for PM!!!

Here is the rallying cry I suggest we adopt:
What do want?
Ken!
When do we want him?
Now!!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/12/2017 17:58

Brexit negotiations he he.

Love Ken's aloof air. He's maintaining his dignity despite having to pose with the Multiple Shit Stickers.
Ken's comment: "Oh please. I wouldn't get out of bed for those stickers if you paid me."

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 15/12/2017 17:40

I nominate Ken for PM ( I think Teresa May wouldn't mind as she likes kittens -heels-)

Ken should also be President of the USA (he can give Trump a hard bite in the neither regions for all of Trump's misogynistic crap.)

Finally Ken can also be President of Russia (he could outstare Putin & have his dog any day.)

sugarlost · 15/12/2017 17:04

I agree Ken is very cute and a fabulous model but don’t forget Cheese said he is a sinister creature....despite this I’m part of his fan club...only time will tell if this was a foolish mistake on my part...

Lol Brexit negotiations!

I wonder what glittery shittery tomorrow will bring

Opheliasgoldenwine · 15/12/2017 16:50

Butterfly I think so too

Butterfly1975 · 15/12/2017 15:29

I feel that Ken's calmness and resilience in the face of all the glittery shit, funnels and stickers surely means he should be the no 1 choice to lead us through the Brexit negotiations

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 15/12/2017 15:23

We love Ken!

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 15/12/2017 15:19

If HoF have any sense they would hire Ken to be the face and paws of next year's calendar.

After all he's the best thing about this year's.

Just don't let them pay you in glitter and spider k ha, OP.

TheFurryMenace · 15/12/2017 14:38

PS - I think I speak for everyone, when I say we just cant get enough of Ken. Keep it coming.

TheFurryMenace · 15/12/2017 14:36

Ken has definately got a bright future ahead of him in the modelling game, Cheese. Be quick and make sure you sign him up to stay with you as his manager, otherwise it could get ugly. Well, you have to think of these things...

PS - back up stickers? They really are spoiling you Cheese.

GwenStaceyRocks · 15/12/2017 12:57

I'm starting to think it isn't a martini but angel delight in a fancy bowl . . .that's much more in keeping with the age range.
