    I was talking to a chum this morning over a coffee, and she put me on to Annie Doran.  It struck me that Julie may prefer a more inter active alien as opposed to merely ornamental.  Hours of endless fun and multi functional. I think Annie would be quite open to reasonable offers. -   http://www.anniedoran.com/blog/giant-hibernating-alien-puppet-nears-completion

    In Response to Statue Quest:
    Aaaanyway, whilst we were chatting she ended up telling us about how she had this statue of an (And I know this will sound a little odd to some and maybe awesome to others) Alien smoking and gave us a small description of him. She said the cat she had at the time broke him and she cried for she loved that statue so and would give anything to have him back. So after she left I did some sneaky internet searching and located what I believe to be the little fella, well I say little, he stands over a metre high, only problem is that said "little fella" comes with a price tag of £200 !!!! OUCH !!!!!

    Just re-read, so it was the 4 foot version! What cat did she have? Was it a Bengal tiger?

    What happened to said cat? Hope it wasn't abducted in an extraterrestrial revenge attack.

    In Response to Re: Statue Quest:
    I prefer the one of the alien sitting down, are we sure we've got the right one? Rather than get a maquette, what about this 4-foot version?  Sure Julie will love it!  What's more it is far less likely to get broken by a cat. http://www.allclassics.com/fiberglass/alien-encounter-smoking-cigar It's in the sale too!  Was $449 now only $199, value!
    Posted by bbMike
    Wow !!!

    4ft is quite something indeed. Thanks for doing some looking, that's really nice of you.
    I think we'll stick to the size she had though just in case a huge version may require some space, like it's own corner or something. It's a cracking idea though to go BOOM ! he's back and he's been of the vitamins.

    Thanks for the post bb,

    Best wishes to you and good luck on the felt !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Perhaps Julie would prefer one of these ? ;-)

    Hi,

    Wow that's one impressive statue. Not sure about it for Julie but Pudding says she'd love one - Not that it would fit in our tiny flat. That thing would need it's own bedroom !!

    Thanks for the suggestion, and my very, very best to you,

    Mog

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your posts. I did reply to one just now but don't know if you've read it.
    She had the 1. something metre guy I believe. Not the huge 4 footer.

    Said cat has passed and gone to moggy heaven I believe. At least she no longer has said cat so I guess the furry fiend left this earth - possible abduction though ? 

    You maybe right............................

    Cats beware

    Hi and wow !

    Thanks so much for that xxx

    I had a good look and all looks great but I'm firmly going to stick with the lil fella she had since she sais she said she would give anything to have him back. So I think it should be "Him".

    But that's so lovely and thoughtful of you. Thanks.

    Did you read my reply to your post ?
    Hope so.


    Best wishes and many thanks,

    In Response to Re: Statue Quest:
    I received a response back from the eBay seller of the Statuesque (Thanks T) Dear Kevin, Thanks. We can offer a discount of 10% + 3.75%, which are the online fees, = £142 which is £118 + VAT. £118 is the amount we'll get after paying £24 to HMRC. Delivery is safest by UK Pallets at their charge cost which is likely to be about £48 + VAT depending on your postcode. Supplying a pallet, strapping, etc will be FOC. We'll also send by Parcelforce/Interparcel at your risk. You're welcome to collect from us FOC or arrange a Courier/collection. We're members of, and support, Progress Prostate, and Tenovus, Charities. Thanks & All The Best, Cecelia. So it looks like around £200 mark with shipping Still not a Great discount and I was hoping for a little better. Mog has stated the same item is available for £199 this also includes free delivery amazon I hope that the  amazon seller may offer this at a discount and hope an email will reduced the price further. (Aliens long fingers crossed) There really must be a timescale for Mog to decide weather or not too proceed with the purchase as it is a Christmas present for the lady  and time will be of the essence (delivery deadlines, postage volume)...So if this thread reached maturity or not . He can then decide if he is going to buy (with the current funds in the donation quota when time is near) So we can make arrangements for the donations to passed on to him.

    Hey Footsie,

    Thanks so much for that.
    I will go ahead with the purchase. I'm determined to save and save whether I manage to make any money on the felt or not. I may even give it to her as an early Christmas pressie if I can and I will write on the tag the names of all who were kind enough to donate and will almost certainly show her this thread - She won't believe it !!!

    But PLEASE check your inbox Footsie. I've sent you a very personal message which you can of course choose to ignore if you wish, I won't be offended.

    With continued thanks and the best of wishes and hoping to hear from you soon,

    Mog x

    For the avoidance of doubt, please can you clarify the relevance of this post to the ops original challenge.

    As things stand, members of the Sky community could easily be misled that their donations are in some way related to cancer.  

    Can you confirm that all donations are to allow Mogweedy to spend two hundred pounds on a Christmas present for his neighbour, who has no connection with this site.  This present is a four foot fibre glass statue of an "alien smoking a cigar".

    Can you confirm that any donations are not in any way connected with cancer.

    Can you confirm that in obtaining or attempting to obtain a discount from a commercial trader, that you have not stated to that trader that this discount is on behalf of skypoker or the skypoker community as a whole.

    Oh my gosh....Mog delete your post and I do the same The thread needs a clean up of a few posts.
    Posted by footsie66
    I am trying very hard to understand this for the benefit of all members of Skypoker community.  Why are you continually deleting or amending posts.  What posts exactly did you and mogweedy urgently need to delete. I have had a very difficult job trying to keep up with it by cutting and pasting your posts onto a wordpad file in case other members may feel they should be reinstated for a full understanding of the thread.

    As i recall you made a reply to one of slipwaters posts, to which he replied without copying in your post.  You then immediately deleted that post, which made slipwaters subsequent comment untelligible by those who have read it subsequently.

    I am trying to be helpful here, but I think members of the forum do deserve a full explanation as to why you posted earlier in large font all about cancer, and then ended with a request for donations to Mogweedy, which you now accept has nothing to do with cancer.

    Yes, I think the truth is out there somewhere. Its just finding it.  In the meantime, I have had a thought.  I have been a particularly good neighbour this year.  I looked after their house while they were away on holiday.  I haven't screamed or shouted all day, and I have kept my playing of mozart piano concertos down to an acceptable level.  I have seen this this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-29cts-ROSE-CUT-DIAMOND-ANTIQUE-VICTORIAN-LOOK-WEDDING-HAIR-JEWELERY-FOR-TIARA-/251628913386?pt=UK_Jewellery_Watches_VintageFineJewellery_CA&hash=item3a964082ea   .  It is a snip at six hundred and seventy five pounds, and I could wear it at next years skypoker live events.  Time is of the essence, so I might be able to get a discount if I can represent the skypoker community forum.  I just need two others.  I am going to try and spin fifty pounds up to 675 but if i can't any donations will be very helpful.  I will start with twenty pounds which just leaves £655.  Paypal is best way for payment, I think.  I did used to have a very nice tiara, but sadly i bought a puppy and guess what it got chewed by the puppy losing all the diamonds.  It had huge sentimental value, and I am very sad about the whole thing.  If I could get hold of this new replacement tiara, it would truly make my Christmas.  Think I will start now on the ten pound dyms and will give a progress report asap

    Please note - this is not in any way connected with charity.

    And remember - The truth is out there

    Update.  Paypal gift £20 tsarina amount needed £655

    Further update.  just lost  a 20 pound dym, so am going to deposit another three pounds and try for a thirty dym.  amount needed back up to £675

    Mogweedy started this thread (with what I assume was the best of intentions) and then five hours later footsie turned it into a let's-all-club-together-and-raise-the-money-ourselves kind of deal, and turned the thread into his own in the process. Certainly that is how it seems if you read the content and the tone of the opening gambit.

    As tongue-in-cheek as tsarina's recent retort is... it does serve to highlight the whole 'Nigerian prince' aspect of it all.

    In Response to Re: Statue Quest:
    I am struggling to find anything redeeming about this thread, and it is wrong on a number of levels.  Personally, I think Skypoker should delete the thread. It is one thing for a player to set a challenge to increase their bankroll by whatever multiple.  However this is not the case. Players are now being asked to donate ten pounds so that Mogweedy can give a neighbour a present of a statue apparently of an alien smoking a cigarette.   What then, I ask, has this neighbour done to deserve such generosity of spirit from skypoker players?  Has she worked tirelessy for charity or a good cause?  Actually no, she has merely proved to be a better neighbour for Mogweedy by behaving normally ie not screaming, shouting and playing loud music at all times and has now decided that it would be better for her to give up a main job to claim jobseekers allowance to help looking after her daughter s family. If Mogweedy who can apparently barely string one pound seventeen pence together wants to try and win two hundred pounds to give to her new neighbour it would have nothing to do with me. However, this is not the case.  Thirty per cent of us will die of some form of cancer, and twenty five per cent of us will die of some form of heart disease.  Meanwhile ordinary families up and down the country are having to rely upon foodbanks to survive. If any player wants to contribute ten pounds to allow Mogweedy to buy a statue glorifiying smoking which is undoubtedly a habit which kills many. then fair enough. However, if any player has ten pounds to spare, then I would urge those players to donate to a worthwile charity of which there are many.  Cancer Research Fund, British Heart Foundation, Macmillan Care, NSPCC to name but a few.

    I respect your comments Slip and agree to an extent, but we are all adults on here and if we are foolish to donate towards a scam then on our heads be it, seems a bit of a witch hunt towards footsie and moggy which i think is getting a bit out of hand...i think all parties have said their piece and maybe let the thread ride now. This is my last comment on this thread but im still donating, gl all.

    I wasn't suggesting it was a scam (although, admittedly, that could be inferred from my comment). My point was simply that footsie has really taken over this whole thing, and the manner in which it has been done, and the way that he has communicated with the online seller is a little... questionable.

    I wish Mogweedy the best in reaching his target, but my suggestion is that he gets there the old-fashioned way.

Its just finding it.  In the meantime, I have had a thought.  I have been a particularly good neighbour this year.  I looked after their house while they were away on holiday.  I haven't screamed or shouted all day, and I have kept my playing of mozart piano concertos down to an acceptable level.  I have seen this this  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-29cts-ROSE-CUT-DIAMOND-ANTIQUE-VICTORIAN-LOOK-WEDDING-HAIR-JEWELERY-FOR-TIARA-/251628913386?pt=UK_Jewellery_Watches_VintageFineJewellery_CA&hash=item3a964082ea   .  It is a snip at six hundred and seventy five pounds, and I could wear it at next years skypoker live events.  Time is of the essence, so I might be able to get a discount if I can represent the skypoker community forum.  I just need two others.  I am going to try and spin fifty pounds up to 675 but if i can't any donations will be very helpful.  I will start with twenty pounds which just leaves £655.  Paypal is best way for payment, I think.  I did used to have a very nice tiara, but sadly i bought a puppy and guess what it got chewed by the puppy losing all the diamonds.  It had huge sentimental value, and I am very sad about the whole thing.  If I could get hold of this new replacement tiara, it would truly make my Christmas.  Think I will start now on the ten pound dyms and will give a progress report asap Please note - this is not in any way connected with charity. And remember - The truth is out there Update.  Paypal gift £20 tsarina amount needed £655 Further update.  just lost  a 20 pound dym, so am going to deposit another three pounds and try for a thirty dym.  amount needed back up to £675

    In Response to Re: Statue Quest : I wasn't suggesting it was a scam (although, admittedly, that could be inferred from my comment). My point was simply that footsie has really taken over this whole thing, and the manner in which it has been done, and the way that he has communicated with the online seller is a little... questionable. I wish Mogweedy the best in reaching his target, but my suggestion is that he gets there the old-fashioned way.

    defintetly my last post! agreed...the old fashioned way is more favourable but the whole thread is now doomed IMO which is a shame....just hope we can all just let the thread continue without the way the sarcasm/tongue in cheek comments are going....it will get personal soon and that shouldn't happen in this community.
