I'm inspired. I think I need to make my own. I don't know why I haven't done it before. Though I do feel this one is a tad understated. This guy obviously has great taste, but come on, if you can't let your hair down at Christmas, when can you? I'm going to add a bit of glitz to mine.

It needs glitter

how much would it make their christmas if we all chipped in and bought it though. imagine waking up and seeing that beast had sold and you were £700 richer.

Amibeingnaive · 06/12/2019 00:23

The only people at that dinner party were sex dolls and/or mummified family members.

AutumnCrow · 06/12/2019 00:26

In rocking chairs

So mummified momma is a'rocking in her chair while the stunning centre piece revolves atop a lazy susan powered by an old Dansette record player playing Elvis It'll be lonely this Christmas without you to hold and a fabulous light display of a string of battery-powered Wal-Mart fairy lights is switched on.

It's what Christmas is all about, really.

Amibeingnaive · 06/12/2019 00:32

I imagine he used it as a sort of cloche for the big finish, where he lifted it to reveal... a dead partridge and a pear.

Or his collection of human teeth.

YoureAQuizardHarry · 06/12/2019 00:33

@AutumnCrow oh my god I'm dying.. 'it puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose..'

HuggedTrees · 06/12/2019 00:35

I remember this from last year!

AutumnCrow · 06/12/2019 00:36

To be honest, I've got a collection of human teeth.

Riddikulusness · 06/12/2019 00:38

“my speciality sweet eggs” an unwrapped Cadbury crime egg sitting on twiglets perhaps? Alas, we’ll never know. ‘Tis a secret Crown Sad

Amibeingnaive · 06/12/2019 00:39

LORDS A LEAPING WAS TOASTED BREAD, SHAPED , FROGS, WITH GENTLEMANS RELISH

Poor frogs. This is just a roll call of casualties now. Like House of Wax, except he prefers to TRULEY EMBED his victims in plaster of paris.

Riddikulusness · 06/12/2019 00:43

I vote it’s polyfiller

Amibeingnaive · 06/12/2019 00:44

AGAIN BRITAINS (i THINK) FARMERS WIVES/ MILK MAIDS SOME WITH YOKES

I should jolly well hope so too. We don't want any of those foreign plastic farmers wives/milk maids some with yokes coming over here and ruining our festive tableau.
