To think people who buy tat like this are very, very odd?

[KingRolo]

Why on earth would anyone spend money on this stuff? And AIBU to think those who do are incredibly strange people?

Or am I just a snob?

Diana music box

Michael Jackson pendant

Baby monkey

how about for the biker in you????

lol wtf?? a dragon riding a motorcycle,

For those who want to make the transition from collecting dragon figurines to collecting motorcycle figurines - we've made it so easy

This thread is hazardous to one's health. I just hit my head on the steel bedframe while laughing hysterically at the dragon biker.

snow globe

it looks like they took a snowglobe, stuck it onto a mount and then rolled it in a pile of broken christmas baubles.

Absolutely stunning

thunderduck - i told you that the tasteless tat lovingly crafted items needed to come with a health warning

"customers who ordered the biker dragon also ordered

you can obviously see the connection!!!

i'll try again

angry man's head

The bumff sayds its an 19th century marble head, but to me the moustache says 1980's

Does that explain why my back has gone too?

Is that Tom Selleck?

lol it could be. 19th century indeed - I think someone has been telling porkies

WTF seems appropriate

DP is threatening to buy me one of these lovely pieces as a birthday present (which is technically in 27mins)

I've had to pass - I couldnt make my mind up between the zebra teapot and the leopard peanut bowl

how lovely is this www.gainsboroughgiftware.com/display_image.php?size=large&img=3765_large.jpg

I can see why you're struggling to make a decision, both are such unique and delightful pieces.
I think the zebra teapot has slightly more charm though.

oh antdamm, scroll down your link, the "bird tureen" is just divine!!!

and this is lovely aswell, oh I'm torn now...

Something for the children

I so can't read this whole thread, just the first and last pages but wanted to add that, along with a group of friends and colleagues who I worked with, I used to have a ball trying to find the most elaborate, with a Certificate of Authenticity (a "must), pref 22 carat gold somewhere, lovingly handcrafted piece of useless shite imaginable. It was like playing Bradford Exchange bingo!

I had fun with DH last week - I carefully read out the description for this gem - we sat and thought about what kind of person must write the advertising drivel that goes with, and does their soul writhe while they're doing it!

I favour the chameleon jug.
