Not Only…

Finally bit the bullet and joined this forum. I’ve watched Dirty Peter’s antics for years but this new era of Ideal World is something else. If he’s not drooling and spitting all over the place like a wet-mouthed gibbon because he apparently has dentures, he’s telling everyone to bang his back door and kiss his anorak whilst flogging £5 market tat to “Muriel” and all her friends.

Anyway, my first post is to highlight one of my biggest gripes with this pillock: how he incorrectly uses “not only” in every other sentence. “Not only is this a gift of a buy…” and then he just doesn’t finish the sentence! Does this annoy anyone else? It can’t just be me.

Welcome to the forum!

Trust me you're preaching to the converted. He is so unprofessional and his comments totally inappropriate in 2024. Everything you have detailed has been discussed here in great detail.

'Muriel' seems to buy everything, Pete name checks her regularly. We doubted her existence and then miraculously she appeared here saying how wonderful Peter Simon is. The crew and presenters read this forum, and obviously we're not suggesting that the crew created the account (well, maybe we are..). The presenters read out our screen names claiming we've bought items, although I can't think why we would use our (often very silly) sceen names we use here when buying off a shopping channel. It's the crew's way of sticking 2 fingers up at us.

'Kiss my anorak' was said by Larry Grayson (who Peter loves to impersonate) in his act. He was speaking to a snooty lady and said "well she could kiss my anorak". Clearly he meant arse but this was a less vulgar (and funnier) way of saying it. It was funny as a punchline, but bizarre when said randomly by a creepy selly telly presenter.

Most of the comments on here are on the Random Musings thread. We often go off on a tangent and discuss non selly telly topics. Feel free to join us there

Thank you! I’d love to see them read out my full screen name Me and my partner constantly hope he’ll mention Muriel every time we watch, it’s become a bit of a game for us.

We used it as a drinking game. Every time he said "Muriel", "ok" and "alright" we'd have a shot. Didn't last long when a couple months back "okay so Muriel's in, Christine's in, Muriel you'll love this alright. Okay...." Couldn't have kept up or we'd have cleared out a bar in an hour!

I like playing Presenter bingo -

I made a bingo card a while back, I’ll have to see if I still have it somewhere

Welcome to you, Peter. Are you also a Gemporia viewer? If not, tune in when presenter Adina's on (usually evenings). She can be identified by the fact that she (a) keeps rubbing her nostrils with her fingers because she's obviously unable to afford a box of tissues/a hanky or is a compulsive nosepicker and (b) like Pete, the last time she finished a complete sentence was circa 1990.

And I was always worried that she was going to have a wardrobe malfunction with her bosom bursting out of her dress
