Me too, about £30 from Amazon or 3bay. No thanks!
I kind of want to buy one to properly see what the fly's face looks like after reading this review on Amazon.review said:

4.0 out of 5 stars It's pretty okay 26 Nov. 2013
By Tim D. - Published on Amazon.com
I just bought this tape dispenser and unpacked it. It's okay for a novelty tape dispenser. The chameleon is kind of cute and it dispenses tape where the tongue should be, that's cool. Awkwardly pry it apart to change the roll. And it sort of changes color, nifty, okay.
But what I really wanted to tell you about here isn't so much the chameleon.
Instead, I want you to look at the other part. Where the tape cut-off blade is. Look at that fly.
You can't see it in the stock photo, but if you order one or pick one up in the store and just... look at it, for the love of all things holy LOOK at it, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
This little grey square blob of a fly-like creature that looks more like a flying pillow, with cute little white wings on its back. It has huge cartoony eyes. Big puppy dog eyes, looking right up at the chameleon's sticky tape-tongue lashing out to its head. And right underneath the eyes is a little mouth, a little, tiny dash of a mouth below those adorable eyes, and it is smiling.
The fly is *smiling*, people.
This is no mere blank look of staring incomprehension like a housefly you or I might encounter, nor is this a stare of mortal terror in this creature's last moments frozen forever in time in grotesque plasticine statuary. The fly is *smiling*. Hopeful eyes, gazing up with reverence and awe as a green fate (or a sort of sickly yellow fate if you touch it too much) looms eternally and casts its pale shadow upon its fading corpus.
This fly looks, in short, like it's found God.
So, what the heck, I give it a 4/5. 3 of those are for the tape dispensing abilities and construction. The fourth star is because that though I've seen better tape dispensers, I've never seen one so utterly philosophically, theosophically, or epistemologically loaded.

I'd say 'smiling' was a bit of a stretch...

Spent the morning on Lake Como, it really does say what you think it does
According to this website :https://wegrus.smugmug.com/Travel/Bellagio-by-the-lake/i-Dxfbmwj the Villa Fanny is situated at Bellagio where the two legs of the lake divide!I also visited there in 2014 and took an almost identical picture but I didn't notice the letters - just checked the photo and they are there. How could I have missed that?

Missed that, what did he do ?http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/37067095
He did at least wait until the end …
