    Hols for Heroes - 11 September Memorial Bear 'Hope' ends 3.9.10

    Many thanks to people who have been offering me auction items whilst YesItsMe has been out of action.

    One of these superstars, monty417, has kindly donated this little bear. Apparently people were leaving bears as tributes after the Twin Towers came down, so this little 'official' bear was sold. She's called 'Hope' and comes with her own numbered certificate.

    This auction will end on 3rd September at 1800 UK Time. Monty417 has kindly offered to pay postage to the winner. Proceeds (as always) go to Holidays for Heroes/Help Them Out. There's always a need for proceeds!

    (And YesItsMe is on the mend, hoping to be back in auction action imminently (or within a couple of weeks))

    And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
    Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.
    They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
    If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
    And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
    Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
    Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
    For today we have naming of parts.

    I'll get the ball rolling with a tenner.
    The harder the fighting and the longer the war, the more the infantry and in fact all the arms, lean on the Gunners - Field Marshal Montgomery.

    Thanks, Recce. Are you cornering the market in small bears these days?

    Here's a slightly better picture of the certificate (with thanks to monty for his technocratic ability, from me the technopeasant)

    One question....Why??

    Are we going to flog an 'Iwo Jima' bear too or just sticking to chad-valley publicised tat with a '11/9'* cuddly toy?

    One hopes youre going to do a follow up with a 'Warren Point Bear' and an 'Omagh teddy'? Seems only apt if you want to make dosh for the chaidee.

    *The British calendar correctly states the date of the AQ terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre as 11th Sept 2001 which means, if you wish to abbreviate; 11/09/01. Unless of course as a Brit youd like to start using 'mom', 'math' and 'color' as your preferred syntax..... in which case you may as well shoot your cunt off with a Perdey up 'n' under.

    Oh I'm sorry. I bid £3.25p
    I hate humans. I wind people up, it's what I do.

    Hm, I bought the teddy of you. Will you pay £3.50 to watch me fucking burn it?

    Because it was donated, and because it raises money for Hols for Heroes.

    Do we need another reason?

    As to your 'nine shillings and elevenpence' or 'ninth of november' anger, I fully agree. Which is why I avoided using it on the header. I also use both a knife and a fork whilst I eat!

    Anyway, back on track. The bear is at £25 with Dale the Snail, preferably without the BCR CD, because I don't think I could auction that, even on arrse!

    How about I auction 'ideas for destroying Dales BCR CD'? We could have a poll to pick the winner.

    Thanks for the bid, recce.
