    That is their name, I believe. If you look back @Jazzydrury tells us her name is Emily (or similar, can't recall now, sorry) and we can call her that if we want. We didn't, afaik and kept calling them Jazzy! Sorry, that later/other Emily may have been one other person, the one who worked on...

    Random musings and general banter.

    What a crock. I never criticised @Jazzydrury on their grammar or sentences, afaik. I go out of my way to Like many of their posts to encourage them. Early on, I corrected their use of 'their/there' in public a few times in the forums. It was annoying me. And when they kept doing it...

    Random musings and general banter.

    While we're talking 'home truths', I don't like the personal attacks on the Presenters in this forum. Play the ball, not the 'man/woman'. Yes, criticise their selling, what they say, their barefaced lies, distortion, how they do it, their ethics, etc., etc. But when they are being called...

    My promise forbids me to comment further in detail here! Suffice to say I am deliberately or accidentally being misinterpreted or I have not been clear enough. Surprisingly! Let's take this to the Off-topic forum area, where @merryone holds court opining on all sorts of non-shopping telly stuff! 😁

    Shall we take this all 'off-line' into another forum Off-topic area?

    I don't recognise this. Can someone explain this comment? How/Who have I had a dig at everyone? Regarding just that apparently contentious recent topic discussion, or over the time I have been on this site? Truly confused. But starting to know how @saintslad or similar feels when being...

    @Scraping the barrel Apologies, I can't remember who first introduced that topic, me or other and realise it's not the best forum to discuss and elaborate and will desist forthwith. But multiple topics are usually handled simultaneously very well and we just respond to those that are of...

    Random musings and general banter.

    Well this went well! 😁 I would have stopped, before your post that I felt I had to respond. @Jazzydrury is totally misrepresenting our discussions. I pointed out the their/there spelling errors very early on, offline, before I knew of their conditions and never kept criticising beyond saying...

    My *only* initial point was that WFP should be means-tested. Not given to all pensioners, irrespective of income. As so many Pensioners don't need it. But a good 25% probably do! Please tell me what the threshold should be? £125,140? £50,271? £25kp/a? £12,571 p/a? The first 2 and latter are the...

    A professional excuse-maker, mainly.

    Yes, you are supposed to support yourselves. The state provides a safety net for the poorest/worse off. Apart from a comprehensive Benefits system. You can argue it doesn't pay enough. Oh, and a free at the point of use Health Service for all conditions, except teeth. But we'll ignore all...

    Random musings on TJC

    That's the point: TJC bought IW assets and relaunched it. And they were/are selling TJC stock on the IW site/channel for more than it is on TJC site. It may be normalising/same on both now. But TJC offer discounts and free p&p days. But they are merging more as IW now doing discounts and...

    Random musings on TJC

    Yep, that's the error I first spotted, but the other observations are good too. Fyi, Opatra is heavily sold on beauty slots by Natalia & co over on Ideal World. Not checked if overpriced Opatra is cheaper on TJC than IW for same item. The Opatra stuff, red/blue LEDs, masks, caps, hand/skin...

    I'm just saying I'd rather see/buy a cr@p soundbar than a cr@p plastic parrot. A decent quality plastic parrot, on the other hand... 🦜 (I should have said better level of item, than 'quality'; agreed.)

    Random musings and banter on TV

    Sad to hear the news of Maggie Smith's passing today. How many knew Toby Stephens (Gustav Graves in Die Another Day, a Brosnan Bond movie, and lots of other TV/film, etc.) was one of her sons?

    At the time IW2 was in trouble towards the end, Sports Direct took interests/loans guarantees from IW2 owners assets/business. Do we know if Sports Direct made money, a loss, or got their cash back? I may be misunderstanding, but TJC did not buy out IW2, only the assets they wanted from the...

    Random musings and general banter.

    I wasn't mocking, just noting the very slight uptick in product variety and level of appeal. Not commenting on value/price/quality of the actual items. Just the range has, slightly, improved beyond the total low-rent tat that was solely being offered before. P.S. do we actually know if IW3...
