Interesting...Was flicking through the channels and noticed that Ideal Extra now has a caption at the top of the screen saying "FlexiPay Is Currently Unavailable", and a look on Ideal World's website shows that there's only the OpenPay or PayPal options for interest-free credit. So have Ideal...

Didn't see much of Mike M last night but did see the bit where he thought they got the price wrong on a Maserati watch. No doubt the Maserati watches would be serviceable watches at a low price (they look better than that Reign/Shield junk for one thing) but it was the blatant pretence of...

Their new guest appeared to know a fair amount about the watches EXCEPT for the movements but my guess is that he couldn't remember all the details therefore decided not to volunteer information that he wasn't sure of, in which case his actions were commendable under the circumstances. A solid...

Certainly worth reiterating that even if Create and Craft usually has the best presenters (apart from those borrowed from Ideal World of course), generally speaking Create and Craft is by far the worst for encouraging people to buy products using Openpay that may never get returned because the...

Imagine switching on IW early evening like I did yesterday to see Peter Simon clutching a ladies' shoe then quickly switching over to Create and Craft and being confronted with Shreque who must be covering for someone on holiday. Television turned off (y)

Apparently Kenneth Cole watches are created "with the utmost quality" but judging from this picture the specified quality can't be that great (look at the 'O' of 'YORK' here): Also Ideal World presenters are normally very eager to show the back of a skeleton dial watch but even I could tell...

Roamer watches have appeared on Ideal World before, and although I no longer watch Ideal World as much as I did a few years ago, I think it's been years since Roamer was last sold on Ideal World and I'm fairly certain Noddy Martin's debut appearance on TV was to promote the brand. Roamer's also...

Only saw a few seconds of Peter Simon attempting to sell some fashion items this evening and his comment in relation to him being 'interested' in ladies' fashion really made my skin crawl. Of course if it had been someone else saying such a thing then it might have been at least passable...

Every time they're selling a carpet cleaner I think of how many people would buy it to clean some carpets then return it after they've finished; there probably would be a condition attached such as you can only use a tiny bottle of supplied cleaner to try it out, but I'm fairly certain I've got...

Also guessing that "Made in Switzerland" was genuinely a more valuable proposition in 1976 than it is nowadays, and wouldn't shock me if that watch was capable of better timekeeping than Ideal World's modern "Swiss Legend" (haha) junk either (y)

Especially seeing this watch reappear again. Can't recall the full details in relation to when it was first presented but almost certainly they would have said something along the lines of being a limited edition, once it had sold out there's NO WAY IT WOULD EVER APPEAR AGAIN ON IDEAL WORLD...

OH. GOD. Just now when talking about a Rolly Dolly watch, Peter Simon described Mathey-Tissot as an 'archaic institution', causing Kevin Reynolds to do one of the loudest spontaneous gasps of air I've ever heard on TV. Simon Peters went on to say that it's because Mathey-Tissot are 'set in their...

That Nubeo Mars watch is a big heavy-looking chunky fat b'stard of a watch (with sincere apologies to any big heavy-looking chunky fat b'stards reading this), though I'm sure that any big heavy-looking chunky fat b'stards reading this will be worth more than the £50 watch the Nubeo Mars...

There was an acute shortage of bikes towards the end of last year - my local Halfords only had about five bikes of any type on display when normally they would have had closer to 100 - but just as with Megan's "The eLife bikes are just as good as bikes costing £2000" letter from x years ago that...

He's the worst presenter on the channel by a significant margin; quite the achievement given the company he keeps on there. All the fake sincerity and none of the charm of someone attempting to mug you in broad daylight, which in effect it's what he's trying to do. A truly appalling 'presenter'...

Wasn't paying full attention but I assumed they were talking about some form of automatic movement because I thought my £70 Pulsar quartz watch was doing badly if it drifted by more than 10 seconds a month. Also were they talking about the accuracy over a day/week/month/year? At no point do I...

He's slowly turning into Peter Simon it seems... Anyway he was fronting tonight's Nordgreen watch show of which I only saw for a few seconds because of him, though the watches looked like Skagen ripoffs probably made in China for all I know about them.

They're probably now getting semi-regular deliveries of these bikes and they're taking orders regardless of the stock level; this enables them to claim occasional 'sell-outs' of specific batches but in reality you'll get yours if you're prepared to wait an extra few days. ('Extended delivery' as...

I think when they say "approaching" it could mean absolutely anything; for example, they may have 500,000 of something in stock and they've just sold one so there's 499,999 of them left, which is a cue for an Ideal World presenter to say "approaching single figures". A LONG WAY OFF approaching...

And they will STILL be using the 'testimonial' from Megan saying how wonderful the eLife bikes are, how many they've bought and how they favourably compare to other bikes costing £2000+, etc., etc., etc. :LOL:
