Hells Bells
And buckets of blood ..
Put me off my bamboo.
I’ll just have to regurgitate.
Bugger!
What sort of person buys that?
This is a joke taken straight from “The Daily Mash” isn’t it?
(Please say it is)
It’s actually taken straight from The Daily Telegraph…….a similar joke…….
This is all getting a bit too much for me. It’s not compulsory, is it? Please tell me it isn’t.
I wonder where they thought their niche market was lurking?
If they sell any at all my already dismal opinion of the great unwashed will be further revised in a downwards direction.
Is the real mug on the right?
It’s so sweet – our first openly gay partnership PM pair! Arrh, bless!
And ideal for a cup of cea or toffee.
The truly boring possibility which could be inferred from a plain reading of the text is the substitution by a photo in colour.
Even so it’s a giggle.
AND a wonderful example of the creativity of which a free-enterprise economy is capable.
Even better any sale will presumably cause a few pennies to tinkle into the VAT pot.
Some other ceramic shape might even be produced for Labour supporters who could keep it handy under the bed.
Never mind that – feast your eyes on this:

(warning, you’ll need a larger sickbag)
Oh my good God, I didn’t see that one Ciaran – I shall have nightmares!
Edited to add – d’you see the price has shot up by
Should we have a whip-round to buy one for Gordon (& Mandy)?
Regrettably I think this might have been written in a satirical vein:

Yes, indeed, I was being snarky & satirical when I created that. Alas. t’was not an actual product. I do things like that a lot….but I thank you all most graciously for the visits!
Ah but Gordon’s were more exclusive. Only 950 of them but 2010 of the coalition ones!
The Gordon Brown Mug could be used as an ironic souvenir, a sort of weird Kitch collection, along the Chas ‘n Dave one and a Prescott “International Gourmet Pie Inspector” version, etc etc.
Someday the collection could be quite collectable and be on Antiques Road Watch.
Anybody else have any nominations for other celebrity mugs?
On the other hand Brown’s one, in particular, could be used as an exhibit for the prosecution.
How about Camel-Egg rather than Cleggeron?
(Have you tried to find a camel’s egg? Who’s got the hump? Etc, etc?)
Every home should have one……
Is the price with or without the 20% VAT?
But we all know this ‘love in’ will all end in tears.
My belated effort on the Gordon mug here:
What Mugs!
