BwaHahahahaha!

That's complete and utter garbage. Why should any pen be particularly appropriate for women? Marketing people get too tied up in their own drivel. Reminds me of the Sky advert which says 'believe in better'. I do - that's why I haven't bothered with a Murdoch mouthpiece.

[Debbie]

Well of course it is Rob!......... Er did you read the reviews?

The three listed are on a par with the advert - as relevant and serious (not) as the product blurb.

The first page (all written by women) are absolutely hilarious!! I'm surprised that BIC missed a trick and didn't incorporate a lipstick into the handle..

5.0 out of 5 stars Alcoholic, 11 April 2010

By I. Aisthorpe - See all my reviews

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Box Canvas Print of Paul Ross

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Paul Made Me Lose all my Money, 19 Dec 2008

By David W. Galbraith - See all my reviews

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Box Canvas Print of Paul Ross

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, 19 Dec 2008

By Fossickson Greeb-Streebling (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Box Canvas Print of Paul Ross

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.

Shoddy, Amazon. C-.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's a swindle!, 14 Jan 2009

By Evo Von Himmel - See all my reviews

This review is from: Box Canvas Print of Paul Ross

I recently purchased this poster, and while it's lifelike, well made and had a certain, portly charm to it, I have since found out that it's actually *cheaper* to hire Paul Ross to come over and stand against a wall, whenever you feel the need to look at him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than my entire collection of laminated B*Witched posters, 7 Jun 2012

By Tommy Hackney (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Box Canvas Print of Paul Ross

I now have six of these dotted around my house. Five in the bedroom and one in the downstairs loo.

What makes this box canvas print of Paul Ross so breathtakingly magical is the way that his cheeks catch the light at certain times during the day. I could never get the same effect on any of my laminated B*Witched posters. So far I've found that the ideal lighting comes in at around mid-dusk. If, like me, you decide to place one of your Ross's in a windowless toilet I recommend keeping a torch handy so that you can mimic the light fall.

I spent the entire Jubilee weekend in this manner.

Just to warn you, and this more of a perk really, about a week ago one of our Ross's started whispering sex words in Danish. So far I've heard him say "moist", "thrust" and "candle" ("fugtig", "fremdrift" and "stearinlys"). He doesn't do this often, and only our toilet Ross seems to be affected. It's usually when someone has forgetten to flush the toilet or if he can hear Fiona Bruce speaking on the telly from the other room. If you're a fan of Danish crime dramas you'll love this feature, it really does add great background ambiance. It's also the perfect excuse not to flush the toilet for a few days and save money on your water bill. Just make sure you leave the loo door so you can hear him.

My girlfriend insists that one of our Ross's propositioned her last Tuesday with what she called a "barrage of filth and bile" when she was getting her socks out of the wardrobe. I think this was down to canvas positioning rather than anything else so I won't knock a star off for that.

Technical Specs: The box canvas is printed using Fujifilm water based pigment ink (not Giclee as some others have pointed out) on 7,000 thread flame retardant yak hide. This item was very well packaged and came with 3 screws and a sledge hammer.

This really is a fabulous piece. I've had no use for any of my B*witched posters since purchasing these. Yes they 'did the job', but Paul, is just... better.

:lol: :lol:

I wonder when Amazon are going to start offering ex-circuated post war currency ? .....perhaps we could all write a few choice reviews then!

[Rob]

I don't get it. Who is Paul Ross? Clearly making inane comments is a booming industry, but they fall a bit flat when they have to be explained to the ignorant. Is he linked to Debbie's original pen comments?

He's a small time radio & tv presenter. His brother is a much better known presenter & talk show host: Jonathan Ross (or Woss )

Ah, I recognise the latter as a cue to turn over or turn off. My TV's on button doesn't work very well, though the off button is in good working order.

I did find the one about the delivered item being upside down amusing, but still can't comprehend that anyone would bother making a print of a TV presenter. I know TV personalities are full of themselves, but the cost of production must be outweighed by the public's indifference towards them. I always remember as a child, being in Bristol shopping centre with my parents when one of the local TV presenters came up and said hello and started rabbiting on about something. My parents looked at him blankly. It would have been about 1970, and we didn't have a TV at the time. Clearly famous in his own lunchtime.

Also Paul Ross is hardly iconic sex symbol fodder (hence the taking the michael reviews) I also love the fact that on the link to the actual canvas it shows that people who actually bought the item also bought “Fifty Shades of Grey†deduce what you will (you probably do need to be female to appreciate that one)

Along with the battery operated pen, should make a great evening

In an attempt to steer this thread ever more away from coins and increasingly surreal (but of course remaining faithful to the 'Something for the ladies' topic), I would like to put forward Venezuelan Beaver Cheese as a tenuous and delicious food item
