Tombola

I  recently won this bergamot scented candle in a cup and saucer at a tombola stall in Pickering, North Yorkshire, they were raising money for FWUK (Fallen Women UK) it's a great cause, generating awareness and support for those with loose morals, it's a charity close to my heart. 

Isn't it hideous? The cup is actually attached to the saucer so it is of no use other than for what it is. Of all the prizes I could have won including a bottle of Grants whiskey, 5x1000 piece jigsaws of classic trains, a Lynx gift set I had to win that, the campiest thing on display 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth' crowed my maid of all work, Carmen. I'll make her eat those words when she unwraps it on Christmas day.

    Now had that been a 5x1000 piece jigsaws of classic porn penisis, now that may have been worth it.

      Now that would be worth spending an extra couple of quid on, as long as they're not the vintage old caca types MJ goes for.

    You could give Carmen a double surprise by scraping out the wax, smashing the glued-up cup and saucer and telling her it's a jigsaw.

      I could give her a triple surprise by melting down the wax and using it to seal up her mouth.

    Maybe snip the wick off and serve it as a joke cup of tea to guests?

      It's only the size of an espresso cup. It will come in handy though as an egg cup once the wax has been used. I have a cup called the dick head cup I sometimes give to guests who I think are a bit of a dick, it belonged to my grandma, she used to soak her dentures in it.

      Is it true LX that Americans don't use egg cups?

      I personally have not seen egg cups used.

      No egg cups LẌ ? So you have to hold them in one hand while you cut the head off ?

    It'll look lovely on your sideboard with your lamp AND if you have an ant problem then it will come into its own as ants don't like bergamot.

      I could put it between my toby jugs, it'll look like they're sharing a cup of tea. Thanks for the ant tip. I don't have an ant problem but my mother does she is inundated with them, they are driving her demented. I'll buy her some Earl Grey tea bag as she can't be trusted with a naked flame.

      Tiny as it may be, it won't fit on your sideboard now that Ms Scarlet's plonked that ruddy great photo on it!

      I will move it to a less intrusive position when I officially get up in the morning. To be fair I haven't quite got Dinah's flare for it.
