A very singular portrait of Lord Rodney
Actually he seems more of a Christmas Reindeer than a Naval Hero, but, you know, fame is fame, even with its drawbacks !
And now I’ve this insane vision of ladies of quality tearing at each other’s powdered wigs in a 18th century version of Harrods, fighting to be the first to buy the newest earthenware cups with a certain green-eyed Commodore on them ! 
AHAHAHA! Yes, that would be just the thing for an 18th century naval hero fanlady to want!
Christmas Reindeer
You’re aware I’m now terribly tempted to turn poor Rodney into a Christmas ornament, aren’t you?!
Just having awful toughts about the fine ladies fighting for a cup with Mr Gillette’s ears….
ROTFL… *Mr Gillette singing*
Deck the halls with Rodneys and Norries
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Just having awful toughts about the fine ladies fighting for a cup with Mr Gillette’s ears…
*dies*
Well, I know that I WOULD fight for that one! Lovely ears. Best ears ever. Or at least they used to be. A Gillette-mug with Gillette’s mug – my chai latte would be twice as tasty.
Hmmm… maybe I should pick up pottery again…
STOP ENCOURAGING ME, WOMAN!
LOL! My lack of refined taste is showing, because I rather like it
Though I admit, having handles coming out of your cheeks is not for everyone!
I’d certainly buy the Gillette mug! For a start I’d never have to worry about my children stealing it – they’d be too afraid
Ooh, do, do! There could be a collectable series of them. You could have a tree full of decapitated naval heroes ;D
LOL! My lack of refined taste is showing, because I rather like it
My own abysmal and pathetic Naval Hero worship shows even more, because my first thought in front of the thing was “Oh, he’s as good looking as in the Reynold’s portrait”
ROTFL It seems the Gillette Naval pottery is the ultimate Christmas 2007 gift to put under your Decapitated Naval Heroes tree ! A must for all the Navy fangirls.
And – special extra for the Italian fans – a Nativity scene set on HMS Dauntless, including a figurine of Mr Gillette as a shepherd of little mermaids. ;D
Should I EVER pick up pottery again, I promise you Rodney/Gillette/Collingwood mugs.
And just so poor Rodney won’t be lonely: click here and scroll down the page.
*g* I thought so too! Very classical looking
He could be a caryatid, or one of those figures from the archaic period in Greece.
Oh no! Only available in Italy? Then we’ll have to have our moot at your house, because I want one! How sweet would that be? ;D
We definitely need ads reading “I will have his head… for Christmas!” to promote sales of the heroic heads at this time of the year.
“I will have his head… for Christmas!”
*flabbergasted* That’s the perfect Naval Christmas Spirit !
I can only bow in awe to genius
How sweet would that be?
LOL, I fear a Gillette including nautical Nativity scene would soon degenerate into a pandemonium, with Gillette shouting at the unruly mermaids, Mr Norrington attempting to arrest Mr Sparrow hiding under the crib, Mr Groves shocking the singing angels with his naively indecent proposals, and Lord Beckett causing an uproar with his offer to employ the Holy Family to advertise the EITC Christmas Promotion
LOL! That would so work on me! I really want to do it now
Oh, but that would be wonderful! So much more entertaining than anything else on TV
So much more entertaining than anything else on TV
It’s relieving to know that Italian TV is not the only one in Europe to assume that people, at Christmas, develop a sudden crash of their IQ
Perhaps you can design the advertisement even sans product?
