Ideas: Do you have any?

[Ben Wah Balls]

Anyone had any good ideas lately?

Me and one of my housemates had an idea earlier for a new invention called inflatable Christmas.

What it is, you buy it from the shops on Christmas eve you take it home and you blow it up and then Christmas just appears in front of you. Kind of like a message from above, in a way.

Inflatable Christmas would come complete with snow, a christmas tree with presents underneath and lights on, a fireplace with stockings and father christmas with one leg sticking out of the chimney, all kinds of tinsle, mistletoe, christmas pudding, robins, crackers, a turkey and more.

It would be perfect for people who want christmas on a budget. If you're fed up of christmas starting too far in advance, with an inflatable christmas you can just inflate christmas on christmas morning and you're ready to go. No hassle.  Also you could deflate it, put it in the cupboard, then blow it up again next year. You can even take inflatable christmas on holiday with you. There are also plans for a nativity scene version for religious people and an Australian version featuring Bondi Beach.

As I do a lot of work for charity, raising money for baby orphans and wounded dolphins, I will also donate some inflatable Chrismasses to Africa 'cos I'm not sure they even know it's christmas time at all. I have contacted Bob Gandolf and Bone-o with this idea and they sounded impressed.

I am going to try and get Richard Branson to drop ready-inflated chrismasses out of a christmas-themed hot air ballon somewhere above the sahara desert to bring Christmas to the World.    Noel Edmonds could put it on tv on that Christmas show he does giving out presents.

Who else has had some ideas? Post them here.

Pah! Im to old for ideas,I had some once and where did they get me? :x

Fair enough but would you be able to resist buying an inflatable Christmas?

[spacey]

I'm undecided.I'd have to see one in action first.

How would it cope with cigarette burns and cocktail stick punctures? It could be a potential deathtrap.

You haven't given us a no I hate inflatables option :x

Shit I hadn't thought of that. http://www.thisisstfc.co.uk/forum_new/images/icon_smile_shock.gif

It is still in the R and D phase so nothing's finalised yet but I guess it would have to be made with a super strong coating. Bouncy castles don't pop that often so it must be possible. Might put the price up though.

I did a search on google for inflatable christmas and there was a few pathetic looking christmas trees but nothing on this all-in-one scale. I can understand your cynicism yeovil but I'm not just talking about some shit inflatable, this is proper quality stuff, it's all going to look completely lifelike, you won't be able to tell any difference from the real thing.

I don't like the way you're forcing Christmas onto other religions and cultures

I don't like the way you're forcing Christmas onto other religions and cultures  

A bit like the way Band Aid is.  Do they know it's Christmas time???  Do they give a fuck?

[blinkpip]

Just go back to the drawing board.  :arrow:

They should make " do they know its ramadan" as well so as not to offend the musssies

[Simon Pieman]

God it would be like those fucking air beds...a royal pain in the arse to inflate. I don't think this inflatable Christmas is very practcal is it?  :?

I feel I've recieved sufficient interest so far to merit further development of this innovative product.

Worry not because alternative versions will be available including a ramadam version featuring no food and a pagan one featuring stone henge.

I will write a note on all the Chrismasses I drop over Africa, saying "So this is Christmas: Take it or leave it." That way they can decide for themselves whether they want Christmas.

I have given this a lot of thought and it will come with an auto-inflate feature which should fully inflate Christmas in around 10 seconds. No effort needed.

Back to the subject of the post though, has anyone else had any ideas? They don't have to involve inflatables or Christmas.
