Numii again, thought when it sold out we weren't going to see it again this year.

That was wishful thinking

Where does this leave all the wild claims for Emu Balm?
I can't think of a condition/ailment they don't maintain that it helps or cures.

Apart From the claims of emu oil manufacturers there is no evidence anywhere that it can cure / help any condition. The main constituents of the oil are oleic and linoleic fatty acids which are found by the shed load in vegetable oils. Olive oil has a similar ratio of oleic to linoleic as emu oil. So if you want the ‘benefits’ of emu oil rub yourself down with olive oil at £5.99 for 500ml from Tesco.

Dirty Pedro has been taking this liquid collagen for the last four weeks.

He's seen a spurt in nail growth! (funny they look like fake).
Volumisation of hair, flexibilty of joints and skin.

Heaven knows how awful he would look if not for this miracle stuff - a vision of an elderly Peter Cushing springs to mind

For those now looking - B&M - £5.29 - https://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/borges-classic-olive-oil-500ml-386100

Keep your olive oil.
All I want for Christmas is Emu Balm, detox foot patches and a Duchump - same as the A-list celebs.

Listening to an Andy Partridge interview while Simon’s mouth just moves, silently. Marvellous.

Peter Simon's had another 'day of it' again.

Would you prefer Andy Stewart and the white heather club, Hammy. It used to be on every new year's eve, probably before your time. Lots of tartan, accordions and traditional Scottish singing and dancing.

You really do need to see a GP before you get the green light to wear compression socks. Of course, this as far as I know, is never mentioned by medicine wagon charlatans like Simon with their ‘these will help/these may help’ claims/not claims. Worn for too long, or worn when you shouldn’t be wearing them at all could actually do you serious harm. I’m surprised that they give no disclaimer before buying/wearing to the effect of seeing a medical practitioner in advance when they are selling them. But then again, nothing surprises me about this awful shopping television channel.

I've never smoked, but have been diabetic since my late teens, and this is what it has done to my arteries. That's why I have to take great care of my feet, the least little wound can lead to amputation, as I well know.

or Calum Kennedy (my Dad's favourite) on Grampian.

Hey i'm old enough to just remember Bothy Nichts on Grampian.

Although TV was on we usually had parties in our block of flats, everybody met in the one house at 12 then worked the way through all the flats till morning, then for the next few days parties at relatives homes, but once i was 16, New Year (Hogmanay) revolved about going out and drinking not watching TV. Non stop eating and drinking.

Then it got boring and Xmas kinda took over, now New Year is a pale shadow of what it used to be like.

I rather enjoyed it, let's face it, we only had three channels, so not much to choose from.
