You should use that voucher to buy something that you want that you don't already have.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Epic.

AlcoholicBy I. Aisthorpe - 11 April 2010

Yesterday I was a bed ridden, drug addled alcoholic with no hope, no future. Then I bought this. Now I'm a bed ridden, drug addled alcoholic with no hope, no future, but with a 20" Canvas of Paul Ross. You just never know what lies around the corner.

"For a while I considered mounting a large number of these on my ceiling to create a Paul Ross canvass ceiling but unfortunately I realised that this is what my wife would be staring at during our frenzied horizontal moments, and what kind of a man can compare to Paul Ross in the bedroom? "No-one" I hear you cry!"

:pac: These are brilliant!

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.

This may be a good idea too, OP. Only £0.94 too!

Be aware of this issue though....

Lack of Font options
By Knives on 8 Dec 2010
While this pen is functional and easy to use, a downside is it only supports one default font (that appears to be user specific?). I have tried multiple times to access Helvetica, Times New Roman, Impact etc. to no avail... I don't even see any input buttons.

The default font is pretty shoddy looking, resembling Comic Sans.

An update would be appreciated Bic!

Assuming you're not actually going to buy the Paul Ross thing, how about this? Could provide some great inspiration if you're into cooking.

You really don't know what to spend £40 on? No problem - if you could get me an electric seed grinder, and a calvin klein bra (size 30dd), that would be awesome, thanks! If you have any money left over, let me know, I'll sort you out

The best Paul Ross review mustve been deleted, thank god for wayback machine:

Fits of laughter here.

Much like a badger using a cloaking device on a dark night, this print of Paul Ross has been sadly overlooked by the general public.

The reasons for this remain largely unclear. Was it Ross' open-mouthed, alluring pose? Or perhaps the lack of respectable foliage in the background? Whatever the reason, it should not put you off this wonderful print of the man whose name you see on Billboards everywhere (normally alongside the word 'Fabulous' and 5 glowing stars).

The quality of the print - which hangs in the hallway of my flat and leaves guests slack-jawed in wonderment - is simply phenomenal. You can make out literally every smile line on Ross' face and he stares, goggle-eyed, into the lens of the proud photographer. As an added bonus, the matt finish also makes it easily washable should you accidentally spill tea or cranberry juice on it. It can also be used as a sort-of scarecrow, as it has recently been discovered that large birds suffer from a fear of high-quality film reviewing.

Compared with the more popular 10" canvas print, this version is perhaps more suited to the hallways and bathrooms of the world and it has clearly proved less of a seller than it's more glamourous companion, but, nevertheless, the quality and talent which has gone into creating this materpiece cannot be denied.

A must-buy for anyone who, like me, simply cannot get enough of the man they call Paul 'five-stars' Ross.

Bought one of these last week so I could listen to music in the bathroom. Nothing like a bit of Barry White, while you're taking a Barry White.

Admittedly, everything pales into insignificance after the Paul Ross memorabilia but how about this?

In memory of Jimi Jamison who died yesterday(RIP); singer with the band Survivor who also sang the theme song to Baywatch. Get yourself some red swimming shorts and play the theme and you're sorted.

Only going to increase in value..........The Hoff has to leave us sometime.
