Hollywood or Cricklewood? Although they are quite similar...

Suppose that’s apt as he is so wooden.

I think the cameras are stunting the presenters, Foghorn looks like a barrage balloon.

This just appeared on Ideal World's YouTube page, a tour of the new studio with Sally:

I wish she’d expanded the tour to the lock-up where all the tat and Simon Peters are kept overnight.

That's not the cameras, according to Dr Sally "fashion guru" Jacks, that the slimming effect of Ideal World's Fashion.

No expense spared then?

Wonder where the shipping container full of exclusive, limited edition watches is kept?

Tonight at 8, an exquisite display of horological craftsmanship and elegance.

That's a pity, I'm out this evening, I'm going to miss it. Devastated

Dejero? A Lady Gaga hit? Unfortunately, they're back now..

Somebody probably pressed the wrong button.

Mike had 50 emails asking for the dehumidifiers from yesterday show.

Why email? If they can do emails they are online so they can just order it from the web site.

Now were bak to moistures bad, just wait till they're selling these during the heat wave that's in the post and moisture will be good again.

That utterly meaningless phrase ‘Swiss Design’.
I think it’s disgusting.
It’s relying on the fact that people won’t realise it isn’t ’Swiss Made’ or even ‘Swiss Mechanism’.
To me, it’s a shining signal that the makers are intending to deceive.
In fairness, the description says ‘Japanese’, but I suspect the average telly shopper thinks that’s a design thing, rather than the origin of the mechanism.
That other stalwart of selly telly watches, Constantin Weisz used a similar trick with ‘German Design’.

Is that like the MGs that are British designed but built in China?

Spot on.

No logic to the nonsense they spout.

Might as well rename it Another World, as that’s where there presenters come from

Interesting to know how he personally receives these emails from punters asking about Ideal World products etc.? I would have no idea how to email him and other hosts at Ideal World. There are certainly no presenter contact links on the official website. Like virtually everything I hear come out of presenters' mouths on there - to be taken with a large pinch of salt.

Not at home, but I can tell Mike is on: people out in the park with nets again, catching all the stock that's flying out…



I shouted as I walked past "careful, you might actually catch something".

Presumably flying out the door again?

Mike is saying if other Swiss Brands did the Marine Chrono, would be £10,000.

I challenge anybody, include the IW staff that read here, to find a Swiss brand that makes a similar spec watch, ie 200mtr diver, 316l s/s, 5030.d Ronda quartz movement, assembled in the Far East. In fact i'll even allow for the watch to be assembled in Switzerland for £10,000. Happy hunting.

Actually there is a Swiss brand taht makes a watch almost identical to the Marine Chrono, that would be the Roamer Deep Sea 100 which is basically the same watch, although the Roamer is nowhere near a £1000 let alone £`10,000.

Been wondering where you guys had the emojis from, just found them
