That’s Gas! There’s a fella called Elmo selling gnomes on Done Deal this morning

Only the red hat ones though, so there is no gear included...

Only the red hat ones though, so there is no gear included…

While last night’s episode of Love/Hate was stuffed with graphic violence, impending doom and increasing levels of paranoia, one bright spot of humour was provided by the plot involving drug importation, which revolved around some very dodgy garden gnomes.

A special shipment of the outdoor decoration was picked up at Dublin Port by Elmo, who was under strict instructions from Pauley.

The ones with blue hats and brown eyes had heroin in them. The ones with blue hats and blue eyes were packed with ecstasy. The red hat ones were just common (or garden) garden gnomes.

And Elmo, being the business genius that he is, was given the go ahead by Pauley to sell the red-hatted ones himself.

What we didn’t expect was that Nidge’s henchman would have them up on Done Deal this morning, but thanks to JOE reader Barry O’Sullivan, it seems he has.

Here’s the ad, and here’s the link

Gnome Love Hate

In fairness, at €2 each, they are a bargain…
