WHO in the wide,wide, world of sports would want THAT on their wall?????
If there is a market for that we are all doomed. Mind you, the comments section is priceless.

Some of the reviews are genius
Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
"paul Ross knows, but he isn't telling - he wants us to find out for ourselves. Look into his eyes. Even through the medium of a printed canvas, his warmth, wisdom and humanity shine. Many reviewers here have questioned whether this print is large enough to do the great man justice. Nietzsche wrote: "The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly". So I think the answer is... yes. I mean, no. Hmm, yes. Oh, no. Wait... which one's "no"

As a long-term Paul Ross devotee, I bought one of these for the priome spot above the mantelpiece in our living room. It looked fantastic, and made for a wonderul conversation piece, people would comment on the incredible realism and how it seemd to be "almost alive", and the usual cliche about "the eyes really follow you round the room". But it WAS very lifelike, and sometimes when I entered the room and glanced at the picture it was as if Paul was up to something, as if he had just been moving about and jumped back into his stationary postion upon my entrance. I found myself darting into the room to try to catch him in the act, but I was never quite fast enough.
One night I returned home from work to find my wife sitting on the couch, seemingly staring into space. At first I thought she was watching TV but it was switched off. Her face was fixed in an expression of mild dismay, like someone who has reluctantly accepted a terrible fate. I waved my hand in front of her face, to no response. I pinched her gently on the arm. Nothing. Slightly harder. Not a flinch. I was shaking by this point, and about to dial for an ambulance, when I realised she was not staring into space at all. I followed the direction of her gaze, and to my horror I realise she was staring straight into the malevolent eyes of Paul Ross's image.
Quickly I leapt to the canvas, and clawed at it with my fingernails, tearing through it's surprisingly high quality lacquered finish in a blind panic, trying not to catch his eyes in fear that I too would fall under his evil spell. When eventually the picture was nothing but tattered shards, I turned around to see that my wife was woozily coming to, and her ordeal was coming to an end, his icy grip on her heart was loosened just in time.
Please, even though it is so appealing and such great value for a high quality item, resist temptation and do not buy this picture lest you to come to the same fate, and perhaps by the time someone comes to your aid it will be too late.
my sides are hurting

I thought the *NSFW* Wolf T Shirt comments http://www.birkoph.com/Wolf_tshirt.htm *NSFW* were good until I saw 'Wall Ross'.

lmao hahahahaha:
In the words of Victor Meldrew, I literally could not BELIEEEVE it when I saw this piece for sale on Amazon. I had only just said to my husband the previous night as we were worming the dog that I wished I could have a canvas print of Paul Ross sitting in a wicker chair, fingers entwined, possibly contemplating a second pie.
Tonight I am going to wish that we had a life size cut out of Vernon Kay eating a biscuit out of a shoe and pray that the Gods of amazon hear that too!

This is IMO the best review of them all on Amazon:
This is such a great thrill! I've been wanting a 20" Paul Ross canvas print for years, but have never been able to find one. 20" is the perfect size too! 21" would have been too big, and 19" too small. The wooden box frame makes a delightful "clonking" sound when you hit it with a teaspoon which is a sure sign of quality, and the canvas is the most canvassy I have ever encountered. If I had a hat (which I don't), I would take it off (which I can't) to Amazon. You've made my life almost complete.
All my heart desires now, is a tennis racquet cover adorned with the face of Fenella Fudge off of Radio 2. Here's hoping!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Amazon.
No really, THANK YOU!!!

Superb reading! Does anyone remember the 'reviews' for that book about the horse on drugs, I'm sure there was a thread about it a while ago? That also was a hoot..
