I'm pretty sure that Chuntley is a woman who has a 'thin' wardrobe, a 'medium' wardrobe, and an 'oh-my-god-look-at-the-size-of-me' wardrobe. Like a lot of us, really.

This is something which has bugged me - I'd never even heard of the phrase 'hot flashes' until QVC - I thought she'd mispronounced it. Given I think it was Awfelia, who can't even pronounce basic words, this seemed a distinct possibility. They're all so ready to use Americanisms wherever...

IW definitely treats their viewers with much less respect, and clearly thinks that they are dribbling imbeciles with half a brain cell. QVC tends to fawn over its viewers more, and treats people as if they have unlimited amounts of money to spend on 'self-care' products. It is also 100%...

Also, the last time I saw a horseshoe-shaped mat, it was round an avocado bathroom suite in 1987.

Is it a BOGOF?

That very Yorkshire bloke, who's a bit enthusiastic? They put him on with Leonie last week, and once they'd done the Yorkshire vs Lancashire thing, they were pretty much doing a Comedy Northern act.

I was worried for Claire that it wasn't just camel the colour... An unfortunate optical illusion.

ah yes, of course! Good ole' Bob

The main study into the effectiveness of semaglutide (Ozempic) was 72 weeks duration. In practice, most pts plateau after about 60 weeks. It's licensed for use for a maximum of 2 years, after which about 98% of patients regain at least two-thirds of the weight they have lost within a year (see...

Every Second Counts - that was Paul Daniels, wasn't it? Did he do Celebrity Squares as well?

That's it, exactly. Sort of Melania Trump lite. You could tick it off a list: big bouncy blow dry, white/cream impractical clothes, make-up in a very specific way... I've never 'conformed' to anything in my life, so it really irks me.

We thought that, too. Her hair looks too big for her head now, too. She went full lollipop-head look last time she shed a load of weight. I presume ozempic will keep the regain at bay this time. Or for 72 weeks it will, anyway.

Yes, I agree with this. There was another poster, briefly, whose name I forget but who I thought could have been Mike of the Masons. He seemed to get very upset at the idea that I knew he lived in Cowlinge, and his neighbours didn't much like him. He and Saintslad acted in concert a bit...

But of course, like Chuntley, it absolutely, most definitely does not have anything to do with a wee injection every week.

Interesting - there's something very old fashioned about it all. Like those women you used to get on the Clarins etc. counters in Debenhams - they had a very specific 'look' to them.

And we used to think we were so sophisticated - we've still got our fondue set, and do actually wheel it out every now and again. Also, a glass of Blue Nun, anyone? We also still have a box of candles under the kitchen sink, which I'm pretty sure has been there since the mid-70s.

I don't mind Elaine from Estée Lauder's accent, but I do mind the slightly fembot nature of her. She's genuinely quite scary, in a way that's hard to explain. I can imagine a whole Green Room full of identikit Elaines, all clutching 'Bronze Goddess' and marching towards you with a fixed...

Yes! The poor old BBC, with its imposed regulations around the value of prizes (fondue set, anyone?) meant it was never going to be able to compete prize-wise with ITV.

Those tea towels looked like the ones which would-be burglars/ex-convicts trying to rehabilitate themselves used to try flogging at the door. We used to call them Nottingham Knockers (the ex-cons, not the tea towels).

In bright yellow, like its cousin the Sunbeam?
