So Dunnes are now selling a plank of wood for 60e

A clear sign the celtic tiger is back, let the good times role.

I can only think that the only reason why you'd buy one of these is to show how stupid you are with your money,

What does one do with a "Living Wooden Board"?

zl1whqvjs75cdy

Can I have enough for a full set of decking. Throw in a patio heater and we're golden.

Lyaiera

I was all ready to come in here and give out to you about how it's much more than a plank of wood, like maybe it's a really nice chopping board or something tasteful for hanging your wet towels on.

But no. It's a plank.

handlemaster

no idea what that is for... chopping board ?

Hey now it's far more than just a plank of wood. Sure doesn't it have a hole at the top and a wee tag on it, DO YOU NOT REALISE THE AMOUNT OF TALENT IT TAKES TO DESIGN THAT

What does it do?

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Am I blind, or does it give no information about the size could be the size of an A5 refill pad or a bed sheet.

Also apparently there are only 3 left in stock, must be pretty popular

Shut up and take my money!

Don't get invited to many wine n cheese party's do we mate?

Seriously though, any bloody drongo that spends sixty bucks on that plank, needs it broken over their backside afterwards.

I've ordered these up for the fire. You get a lovely glow from them and they burn for ages.

Walter H Price

Dunne's has gotten awful notions about itself in the last few years , like €60 for a piece of 2x4 your taking the Michael now lads.

livedadream

think its either a MASSIVE cheese board,
or for serving loads of little bowls on?

either that or its a paddle for spanking... always knew paul was a durt bird

We'll have to ask Paul Costelloe. He's the inventor of it.

Length is 70cm and width is 22cm.

Charging sixty euro for a plank of wood........

I have no idea what it's for but I feel like I'll be judged if I don't have one.

According to the description, it is

ideal for serving cheeses, charcuterie and antipasti.

Not gonna lie, I don't know what a charcuterie is

Mr. CooL ICE

I used the zoom function to have a proper look and can confirm that yes, it is a wooden board.

It's for hitting yourself with when you realise you spent 60 Euro on a fecking plank of wood.

I like how in the description they class the shape as a design. It's a ****ing rectangle. Paul costello did not design the rectangle as much as he'd like to claim it.

Barry Badrinath

Jesus tittyfcuking Christ.

Fcuk Paul Costello, chancer.

Anyone who buys that, deserves to be beaten with it until it breaks.

How is it "living"? It's hardly going to grow into a tree now is it.

Or they only ordered in 3. It is more of an M&S kinda thing.

I tried to work out if the product made more sense with punctuation:

Paul Costello Living? Wooden Board?
Paul Costello, Living/Wooden Board?
Paul Costello. Living Wooden Board
Paul Costelloe Living Wooden? Board.
Paul. Costelloe Living Wooden, Board?

It doesn't.

I did fire off a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland though. That board most definitely is not living.

I serve my charceuteries and antipasti on the empty frozen pizza box like god intended.

Bit of an odd product for Dunnes.

I used to have a board for antipasti but it came into contact with pasta and blew up the house.
