Wink People that buy "stars" for their girlfriends/wives

Does anybody know anybody, or have you bought a "star" for your GF or wife??

Did you get a certificate, with a hologram of authenticity???

Suffice to say he was a total bell end.

Hi mate,

got a star as a novelty thing, realise it doesn't mean **** ! It's the thought that counts. You do get a certificate and if you use a prefessional body they do enter your name into some central book but the star is never actually yours as you know already.

It was a good gesture and at about £45 quid you can't go wrong ...but you'll still need to get some more stuff cuz they're never satisfied are they lokl ?

This guy thought it was his and his alone "shutup you ***** its got a hologram" lol. He got so very irate about it. We were in tears laughing at him (not the first time we've laughed at his clueless comments).

Me thinks he spent alot on his credit card to pay for it. More than he cares to admit.

I don't understand how someone owns it in the first place. NASA or whoever could be selling off the sun of another galaxy. I can imagine the populace of its green planet coming down like a ton of bricks on someone claiming ownership of their sun.

They're not selling the rights to that star, just naming it in their catalogue, for the 'registration fee'.

IIRC you can purchase a small amount of the moon. About 1ft sq or something for £30 or so, you get the deeds to the spot.

It's a acre. Got a friend one a couple of years ago for a laugh. The story is that some bloke decided to try staking a claim to the moon, wrote to the goverments of the UK, USA, Russia etc asking if they had any objection or claim and no-one replied contesting his claim, so he has an uncontested claim to it, which he has filed officially with whatever the official body for such things in the US is.

They also sell acre plots on Mars, althoug IIRC on Mars there is a disclaimer in case someone (something ?) already lives there !!

Patently B.S but it raised a smile and you get the deeds and a certificate and a map showing your plot.

The whole star thing is a scam. There are several companies naming stars so your star can also be 'owned' by other people, also no official body reconises these companies. In essence all you get is a crappy bit of paper and your name in a companies book. Not really worth £40 eh??

Stars are actually given obscure names like D77841 e.t.c in real life.

Most women love that kind of thing because they are astronauts deep down.




















Why else would they keep on asking for fúcking space?

Ah the star naming thing. Cute idea, and if you don't take it too seriously, a bit of a laugh.

I've got a swedish friend who has purchsed a plot of land on the moon, knowing him it would not suprise me if he's going to pass it onto his kids and see if they can build something on it He's that mad

Think I'd rather buy an acre of woodland on this planet we call home, at least you could possibly visit it, or do something with it (burn it, burn it, burn it, kill the trees!)
