I can't decide what's worse, the tree, or the fact that he's put 2 French hens and 3 turtle doves in there! Surely if you create a £700 'masterpiece' you check the song lyrics first?!

This has made a shitty day a lot better Grin

dontticklethetoad · 27/09/2018 21:42

Yes.

TeachesOfPeaches · 27/09/2018 21:44

I think you are really mean OP. The person who made this obviously spent a lot of time and tried really hard to make something creative. I hope they don't see this post.

packofbaloobas · 27/09/2018 22:09

OP is not being mean. This guy us trying to completely rip some poor auld sod off with this yoke.

Blameanamechange · 27/09/2018 22:25

SO he used it last year and its time to let it go but its made from things like bits of old toast?- surely it must be going mouldy/ smelling manky etc?? YES he should let it go- TO THE TIP! Honestly I know some people manage to sell some weird shit on ebay but this is hilarious.Thanks for sharing OP. I forgive you for mentioning the c word and shopping for it nowGrin

NotANotMan · 27/09/2018 22:34

The person who made this is trying to sell it for £700 fucking quid. He deserves no sympathy.

NotANotMan · 27/09/2018 22:35

The toast was part of his Christmas menu! (Not included) (though he has included it)

Stompythedinosaur · 27/09/2018 22:43

This is a splendid find that has lightened my day!

Wauden · 27/09/2018 22:49

ITS A HUGE TALKING POINT AND WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR MANY XMASES TO COME AND WILL INDEED LAST FOR MANY USES/ XMASES TOO
🤣🤣🤣

Sniv · 27/09/2018 23:06

Someone needs to recreate this party. It sounds like one of those experiences you take to your grave - eating your toast frog with gentleman's relish while the fiberoptics play over the plastic swans; that is what Christmas is all about.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 27/09/2018 23:07

A big thank you to whoever mentioned the payment "instalments" ... it helped me to remember the atrocity this reminded me of (and what might actually have ... errr ... inspired him)

Hilarious 🤣

DancingintheSpoonlight · 27/09/2018 23:25

It's all very well being the highlight of Christmas but where on earth could one store such a delight until the big day without being at risk of someone stumbling across it's magnificence prematurely and ruining it? Would it last in the back of the airing cupboard etc?
Based on that I'm going to have to pass this time.

Amazing! On another listing...

I so want to email them to see a picture of the assembled time machine

"Dining room dressed as a tomb." Quite an imagination there. I wonder what his food looks like?

wowfudge · 28/09/2018 07:17

I'm sharing the 12 days of Christmas with DP but won't tell him, will just wait for the reaction.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 28/09/2018 08:00

I'm more interested in the "beard baubles" advertised above.
Just what every festive hipster needs

Gammeldragz · 28/09/2018 08:24

doorbells that is brilliant, I could really eat a Lemon God Barge right now...

cakesonatrain · 28/09/2018 10:25

Stunning. Thank you, OP

wowfudge · 28/09/2018 13:45

I'm now been pursued around the internet by ads for hideous Christmas decorations. We should have a MN Christmas Centrepiece competition. It'll be hard to beat that beauty. Extra marks for additional uses your upturned empty container can be put to.

Notmethistimehonest · 28/09/2018 14:07

There are 90 people following the listing now and it is being viewed 58 times per hour....

Eeek, that owner must be getting rather excited or confused by why he has so many following and no bids Grin
