I don't even have words. I'm just laughing and laughing... brilliant.Grin

Kittykat93 · 27/09/2018 13:33

Oh my god GrinGrin

This is horrendous wonderful!!!

Unfortunately I don't have 700 quid spare at the moment though Sad

AFistfulofDolores1 · 27/09/2018 13:33

I actually feel a little sorry for the seller, and I'm not sure why.

Whatsthisbear · 27/09/2018 13:34

10 views per hour thanks to everyone on MN having a look, the seller must be getting excited with all the interest Grin

AnotherShirtRuined · 27/09/2018 13:35

That has to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen... HOW can that be £700 in materials? From what I can make out it consists of plastic tat badly stuck together. Just...how?

"THE WHOLE THING STANDS OVER A FOOT TALL"

I LOVE this bit! I was expecting at least 3 feet for it to even be mentioned! It's the ultimate bathos –like the mini stonehenge in Spinal Tap.

wafflyversatile · 27/09/2018 13:36

Ok. I get the drummers drumming and pipers piping but what are the four horsemen of the apocalypse doing there?

Bloobs · 27/09/2018 13:37

I can imagine making one for a laugh (and DD definitely would if she got half a chance) - the seller should do a youtube vid of how to make it instead.

4 CALLING BIRDS ~ PLASTIC FARMYARD ONES WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO BE ON MINI PHONES BUT LOOKED TOO MUCH

GrinGrin

Because the phones would have been too much...

ladycarlotta · 27/09/2018 13:41

oh my god, it's amazing. I would pay £50.

MixedMaritalArts · 27/09/2018 13:43

I bet there are friends who have also fashioned unique pieces of Christmas functional art. Winner is the one that sells for highest price !

MixedMaritalArts · 27/09/2018 13:45

Challenge Accepted by the way ! Revs up the ole glue gun ... mwah ha ha !

MaryBoBary · 27/09/2018 13:47

Glorious!

And I thought I’d found a funny one when I saw this the other day.

Not a patch, bravo OP

😂😂😂 Thank you, thank you for sharing this!

Justmuddlingalong · 27/09/2018 13:51

They obviously had some artex left over from decorating. Confused

Snowymountainsalways · 27/09/2018 13:52

That takes the bloody Biscuit

Do you suppose they are expecting a stampede after your exposure on MN Grin

ACatsNoHelpWithThat · 27/09/2018 13:52

It just needs some glitter.

HildaZelda · 27/09/2018 13:52

Isn't that Terry's showstopper from Bake Off?

EdisonLightBulb · 27/09/2018 13:53

If I left this outside my house (and I live on a street with three schools total 1800 combined pupils + parents passing daily) with a sign saying Free To Good Home it would still be there.

At Christmas.

LondonLassInTheCountry · 27/09/2018 13:55

It looks like a childs school product that the parents have got the contents from the pound shop

tectonicplates · 27/09/2018 13:55

To be fair, £700 is just the asking price. The seller does accept Best Offers. Has anyone tried offering a tenner to see what happens?

strawberrisc · 27/09/2018 13:55

I think you're all being really unfair.

You can purchase this magnificent centrepiece in instalments. £33.02 per month for 24 months.

Seriously though, 100% positive feedback for all that tat?

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 27/09/2018 13:56

It’s ingenious, I’ll give you that. Five gold (golden) onion rings.

ALemonyPea · 27/09/2018 13:58

This beats any FB selling post ever! Well done Op.

I will only pay the full price if I get the secret recipe for the sweet eggs. tally ho!
