Does your lounge need that certain something to start conversations?
YES!!!!Where and how much ?
If it were live, it'd be a great way to get rid of the neighbours who linger too long after a party.
"Oh, that? It's a massive bomb, from an RAF Tornado. We're pretty sure it is empty - but don't knock against the nose just in case - they'd be finding shreds of us streets away!
But seriously - don't get too close to the nose of it. The last one that accidentally went off cleared the land for Milton Keynes to be built. Great things, you just need to be careful around them!"
"Could I get you another glass of Port? It's an excellent vintage. I SAID DON'T GET TOO CLOSE TO THE NOSE!!!"
Just make sure you have booked a nice hotel for the night, while the Bomb Squad verify that it is dead.

When I was an undergraduate, one of my best friends was the son of an RAF Wing Commander. He brought a dummy bomb (about 2ft long, chubby, fins on the back) up to college to decorate his room. It sat in the corner for the whole first term. The bedder (the cleaner) ignored it. Come the end of term, all the students had to pack their gear into a tiny cupboard in the room so the college could rent their rooms to conference attendees.
One of these conference participants obviously was nosey and looked in this cupboard, saw the bomb and called the police. The police called the bomb disposal team and sealed off the college. The BD team called the Master and gave him what for. The Master called the MoD and demanded to know what was going on that a student could get hold of one . The MoD called the Wing Co's boss to ask why this had happened. The boss called the Wing Co and dragged him in for an interview without tea or biscuits. The Wing Co. called my mate and gave him the b0ll0cking of his life.

Frivolous, yes, needed, no, a bit pointless, yes...
Having a lunchtime browse of eBay and as I was browsing someone listed the reg plate S14 PLY, seemed cheap and means nothing to me, but it was £99 buy it now and it was already on retention so no £80 to pay to transfer, seller sends me the document numbers and it's on my Range Rover within 10 mins of opening my sandwich.
Sure I can sell it on for a bit more at some point.
