"Don't buy this picture. It looks fine on the website, but the one they send you is upside-down. My wife hasn't stopped crying for a week."

For some reason that one had me cackling like a demented cretin for a couple of minutes. biglaugh

In the words of Victor Meldrew, I literally could not BELIEEEVE it when I saw this piece for sale on Amazon. I had only just said to my husband the previous night as we were worming the dog that I wished I could have a canvas print of Paul Ross sitting in a wicker chair, fingers entwined, possibly contemplating a second pie.

Tonight I am going to wish that we had a life size cut out of Vernon Kay eating a biscuit out of a shoe and pray that the Gods of amazon hear that too!

I used to be a very successful insurance salesman at AIG. I had riches beyond belief: Faberge Eggs; Brut Aftershave, also by Faberge; a diamond encrusted Rolex; lime green Lamborghini; monogrammed slippers; a piano shaped toilet that once belonged to Liberace and a 16 ft pyramid of Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Some friends at the country club let me in on this secret that all the old money had canvas printed photos of Paul Ross, so I bought one at auction.

There was something wonderful and majestic about it, some people say the enigmatic smile is a knowing reference to his Merovingian ancestry. It hung for 3 years above the alabaster fireplace in my drawing room, replacing Munch's Scream, which I borrowed from a friend who was also in the insurance business.

But over time there was something unsettling about the picture. At first it sounded like it emitted a high pitched, almost imperceptible, tone, like an old TV set. Then it started whispering things to me. After a while it started telling jokes and then giving me stock tips. Eventually it recommended I invest all my money with a guy called Bernie Madoff.

Now I have nothing, I get high by sucking anti-freeze from car windscreen washers, and even had to take public transport. My only possession is this picture of Paul Ross. It is my love, my life. He completes me.

Sorry but it was covered yesterday.

As was this one months ago. "Penetrating Wagners Ring"

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Penetrating-Wagners-Ring-C...

Sadly they've cleaned it up a bit as it was up to about 10 pages

Although it would be a travesty if she had any work to those breasts.

As a busy working mother of two, who's a mother, and a businesswoman, and busy, I don't have time to mess around. I need food on the go, and a toothpaste I can trust. I also need to know that, when I need to know that my Paul Ross print is over the mantlepiece, it really IS over the mantlepiece. This one is. Which is what I like about it. My husband, meanwhile, who's a busy working father of two, who's a father, and a businessman, and also busy (except every second Tuesday when bellringing practice from 4pm-5pm is his only commitment) likes the fact that this Paul Ross print is wipe-clean. (My busy working husband has occasionally spilled his yoghurt over Paul's jowly mancheeks.)

This is a near perfect likeness of Mister Paul Ronald Raoul Ross. It is really very good and I am more than pleased with it. It is slightly lacking on one of the three dimensions - that being depth - but in the other two it excels - they being width and height. Thank goodness for trustworthy retailers such as Amazon in these times of financial discord and fiduciary turmoil.

That "Media Storehouse" company have some really weird crap for sale. I mean a 40 inch canvas print of some random guy from the BAFTA Cymru film awards 2006???

http://www.amazon.co.uk/BAFTA-TELEVISION-AWARDS-CA...

Unless you are actually that guy or his mom why the hell would you buy that?

And once you have brightened up the sitting room with that how about a 16 inch canvas print of Adolf Hitler for the bedroom:
