Random musings and general banter.

At the top of the hour Mike said to Joe we can no longer touch surely not down to the Mpox thing

Uber quality and absolute Swissness.

Mason, absolute Swissness.

Shame it was assembled in the Far East, huh Mike.

Here you go Mike, you can fool some buy quoting ten grand, fifteen grand all you want, but here's what you should be comparing it to you shyster, especially as it's a Far East copy of this watch, made buy the same folks as the Roamer except in assembled in their Far East facilities instead in Switzerland where the Roamer is assembled.

Roamer 'Monza'


And the overpriced copy

£40

Can I state for the record that I wasn't sobbing

Lot of watch for £40.
I've had my Parnis version for nearly 6 years and still looks as good as the day i got it.

You know the only real differences between the Pagani and the Duchump is the movement and the packaging. Both are assembled in the Far East,The Pagani has a £20 Seiko movement, Duchump has a £40 Ronda, the packaging difference, being Chinese would probably £5 max. Those are retail movement prices, not wholesale, so you wonder how Duchump can have the gall to have an RRP of near £2000.
Oh and an other difference, is Pagani don't hide they are Chinese and aren't pretending to be a luxury Swiss watchmaker.

I was sure they sold out last night.
I imagine he was begging the buyers to secure more stock.
Thanks Mr Ofthemasons - you always look out for the gang

Well I thought I’d seen the worse of the tat this channel sells. Motormouth is on again after her stint with Torchy this morning. Thus time she’s selling the naffest of naff Tamsy Leatherette Skirt for £30. It looks bad on the hangar and even worse on the model.

They’ve even got a deal that you save £4.50 if you buy all three, that being all three sizes. Why would you want 3 different sizes.

I was just about to say, I don't hear music, I feel it, but he beat me to it.

Anyone who is a fan of 90s house music will remember Planet Soul and their track 'Feel The Music' I think Mike of the feelings should do a cover version. And by should, I mean shouldn't

I've done it again, honestly, I've done it again! My timing knows no bounds!!!

I hopped on to IW last night and Joe was flogging the air fryer that tilts and rotates with Joanne. Just as I hopped on, Joe pressed a button that made the bowl start to rotate. Let me repeat that, Joe pressed a button that made the bowl start to rotate.

Joanne's reaction?

(in an overly excited tone) Oh Joe, you are a GENIUS! I love it!!

Definition of genius: Exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability.

I hopped off.

Excuse me but I think you'll find that naff Tamsy leatherette skirts are bang on trend at the moment. I know this because Sally (celebrity fashionista) said so

And my wardrobe does contain 2 sizes, as I've lost a little bit of weight recently and can now fit into a smaller size but I don't buy bigger clothes as well anticipating weight gain because I might stuff my face with Krispy Kreme doughnuts for breakfast!

I don't watch very much live, but when I do I usually hear (within a few sconds) something worthy of posting here. But nothing up to this high standard, I need to up my game!

He always gives me the impression with the feel the music comment that he thinks he's better than everyone else and more sensitive to music than us plebs. And I genuinely don't believe that is his intention (I rarely give him the benefit of the doubt).

That might have been the difference then as Sally The Fashionsta wasn’t presenting it. Motormouth mustn’t be as qualified as Sal.

The skirt for some reason reminded me of my old shoe bag I had for school back in the 60s.

Well he might be sensitive to music but he’s bog all sensitive to anything else especially fleecing the public to the tat he sells.

I am reasonably musical myself and have played guitar since I was a kid. I have a decent enough singing voice.
But I don’t go giving it the biggun by telling anybody I meet that I FEEEL Music and am a ‘specially chosen one’ in all things musical. Clearly, that feel
music guff is the language of somebody who feels superior. Just like all the seemingly ironic gorgeous bald fella rhetoric he so tediously repeats, which you strongly suspect he really believes.

It's nothing to do with him being musical.....or not - more than ever, he's saying anything to flog tat.

They prefer not to give the specification, country of manufacture etc - it's all about emotion.
They're trying to create emotion, excitement, a need for the product.
It must work with some people.

That's why Ofthemasons gives it all "feel the music", "ave it, come on", "honestly gang, these will fly", "So, so busy and I'm not surprised. Don't miss out". "Seven days a week and twice on Tuesday".
All completely meaningless.

Just tuned in and Janis said "Don't feel I'm laying it on thick".
Yes, we do feel you are - just like Ofthemasons, Mother Theresa, Dirty Peter and the rest.....

He's got that crappy turntable tonight at 9, with a free gift of Elvis's greatest hits LP, which we won't be able to hear.

Never any mention of brand names with so much of what they sell. As if they don’t want you to know, so you can’t find out the harsh reality for yourself.
