Not to the point but FARMER'S WIFES, shouldn't they have a name or just be farmers surely??

If innkeeper's wife is offensive, MN needs to educate this seller Grin.

I bet he liked those Polish milkmaids in Eurovision though

Yeah, it’s WIVES, surely? Wink I was irrationally frit, after clicking on that link, that I would have some kind of involuntary movement that would result in me bidding on or buying it accidentally.

Interested in this thread?

I daren't even dream of the centrepiece he could conjure up for a Eurovision party.

Do you think he takes commissions? I could probably cobble together the funds by May...

@Judashascomeintosomemoney uuh much too late for me, one hour ahead of you, only excuse for not getting it right Grin.

MAFIL · 06/12/2019 01:07

Damn you all! I have just wasted an hour looking for the components of the seller's steampunk time machine, and I have an early start tomorrow so shoukd be asleep.
But wow. People were open mouthed. That I can very well believe.

I feel like I’m in some strange Groundhog Day. This comes up for sale every Christmas. Same jokes are made.

Am I the only one who remembers?

Oh my god is there a parallel universe?

perplexedneighbour · 06/12/2019 01:31

I so want to know what happened on chili night - (blurb from the steam punk link)

EmmaGrundyForPM · 06/12/2019 02:09

Am I the only one imagining that dinner party? A 3-bird roast served with onion rings and a glass of milk........

Latest in school fundraising, sell the reception children's creations?

Did she clear her kid's toy box out for the decorations?

TitsInAbsentia · 06/12/2019 11:44

I can't possibly contemplate buying this until I'm informed upon which order the quality street were consumed from the tin...I mean it's the very foundation of the piece, it should be given far more credit!

Purpleneonpinkunicorns · 06/12/2019 12:02

I have no words....but has certainly made me laugh when not feeling well ...shall we all offer 20p and make a comment Grin

JemIsMyNameNooneElseIsTheSame · 06/12/2019 12:02

"FULL FAT OF COURSE WELL ITS CHRISTMAS" Grin

Purpleneonpinkunicorns · 06/12/2019 12:05

@titsinabsentia at that price I would still want the quality street lol

megletthesecond · 06/12/2019 12:09

Reading that description gave me a headache.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 06/12/2019 12:46

He's also got a time machine for sale. Apparently he used it at a dinner party to take the guests back to Iraq in 1999. Because if you had a time machine that's the first place you'd pick, obviously. Hmm

maybebabyagain · 06/12/2019 13:17

Kirstie needs to get him on next year then we can all learn how to recreate it

Puzzledandpissedoff · 06/12/2019 13:39

Unless I've imagined it, I'm sure this was for sale last year too; in fact I'm pretty certain it was featured on here, which is why I just checked the date on the thread

If so that's two Christmases where folk have failed to appreciate its magnificence ...

maybebabyagain · 06/12/2019 13:43

Kirsties handmade Xmas the wildcard episode ....
I can see it now

I have visions of the maker of this ‘centrepiece’ wears elaborate waistcoats for some reason 🤷‍♀️

He says he's into cos play, I'm thinking more "Elf from LOTR"

Chemenger · 06/12/2019 13:52

Am I missing something, but what are the jockeys on rearing horses meant to be?

maybebabyagain · 06/12/2019 13:57

🤣

DuckWillow · 06/12/2019 14:03

This is up for sale every year....and it still hasn’t sold.
