Ha ! I never knew the German for meerkat translated as "Little Earth Men" ! :mysmilie_19:

I think this is my favourite...nothing says you're a man more than the great smell of ...er... Bogner ! http://beauty-wellness.1-2-3.tv/Parfum/Bogner+for+Man+Set/?productDetails=817790

My Peach Fresh? Hearts Lily??? Do they name these cheapo stinks by slinging a few random words together?

It was funny last night when the woman presenting before Peter pre-empted his introduction, and then nervously asked him if it was OK for her to have done that. They seem to be in awe of him for some reason. To be fair he seemed a little calmer last night, but still has the weird habit of...

Yep, PS just pointing at the merchandise and repeating "Just look at that...JUST LOOK AT THAT !!!" doesn't really cut it on Gems.

I believe his official title will be Der Uberschtinkenmeister. :mysmilie_59:

He'll never change, because what we saw last night IS him getting his act together...it's not going to get any better than that. I can't believe they let him introduce himself...'Live from the heart of the Midlands !' indeed - What a load of old baloney ! You'd think someone who'd worked for a...

I want the guy to do well and was hoping to see a real change tonight. He's obviously finding his first night a bit nerve-wracking...If he relaxes and gabbles a bit less he'll be OK.

The first mention of the "decolletere" on his stint at Gems ! :mysmilie_14:

Oh, I know that - I just meant that letting loose a string of 20 consecutive 'not onlies' while selling an item probably won't win him any friends at Gems. I wonder if anyone has pointed this out to him since Bid's demise and he has managed to cure himself of this verbal tic. I meant to say that...

If he sticks to the script, doesn't mess up his lines, and has had a decent manicure (for those ultra close-ups of the hand during demos), this may be a canny signing by Gems. However, we are talking about Peter Simon here...

Given Peter's apparent technophobia over the years and the profile pic on the Facebook page, I smell a rat.

I'm hoping this is true - personally, I just want to be there when he attempts to pronounce labradorite for the first time...

Just happened to catch this today as I had Gems on in the background (my new background burble of choice since the demise of Bid and Price Drop). Around lunchtime the presenter discovered a mistake in one of the on-screen descriptions...the item had been sold on four previous occasions under...

Storage Hunters? Even more crooked than anything Bid aired. My favourite moment on that was when Brandon just happened to find a state of the art 3-D printer in one of the lockers...followed by a good couple of minutes of cheap advertising when they visited the company who made it to get it...

His Alan Bennett is particularly tepid.

I bet he reads every post on here about himself !

"We didn't know what was going on" ... says the man who was supposedly working for nothing since Xmas ! The whole subject was pretty glibly dealt with in less than 7 minutes, IMO.

Oh, you've piqued my interest now Greg...I'm off to break the habit of a life time and give it a listen !

To be fair to Mark they probably told him he only had three minutes beforehand...and you have to admit, the man has a lot to say for himself !
