Is it just me that finds the phrase 'reaching out to you' from that Qurio email the height of irritating. The whole thing is written in some insincere American-ese jargon. Also, what does 'we're looking forward to evolving our enhanced and integrated QVC app experience' actually mean?

That ridiculous idea again - QVC tries that with scent - that, apparently, I've been 'stopped in the street and asked where I got that gorgeous scent from'. This idea might be credible in any country other than Britain. We studiously avoid interacting with one another unless we have to: the...

Oh good grief - she's still telling it...

Well, quite. Literally zero shame, that woman.

Yes. At the point of the administration of IW, about 13% of flexipay was uncollectable, and a further 11% referred to Moorcroft Debt Recovery as defaulted. Completely unsustainable position for any business to be in.

I think you're spot on with this. The production value is obvious rock bottom, given that it's being filmed in a cupboard, and I suspect it's just being done almost as an act of defiance. There are some obvious errors that IW made which drove it to the wall which should be fairly easy to...

Put me off my scrambled egg on toast this morning. Creepy Crawley is such a strangely asexual being. Even more than Howard was.

I'm totally out of the loop with jewellery, but I used to work in a jewellers, 30+ years ago. Then, we'd recommend to people that VVS1 was what they should aim for, and VVS2 if they were cost conscious. VVS2 was probably the most common clarity grade. This wasn't Boodle & Dunthorne or...

Thanks. Not had a great run of luck with his health, has he? Best of luck to him.

Ellis' favourite story on IW was how she had to sit on her daughter's scarf and do a piss on it when she was busting for one during a car trip going up the Snake Pass. This 'anecdote' got wheeled out any time she was selling piss pads or any other product vaguely related to incontinence...

'Battery operated junk'. My thoughts exactly.

Let's hope Hayley isn't going to instruct Crawley to go to the foot of the bed and open the big velvet box at the bottom, like she does at home.

No problem :) I've just gone back to the report, as my figures don't actually add up. In fact, the administrators have written off a further £293k of flexi-payments as 'uncollectable' and not referred these to Moorcroft, though they don't specifically say this, and you have to do the maths...

I hope so. He's one of the better presenters, and genuinely seems like a nice person.

I see the obscene food shows are back, where someone ooohs and aaahs and makes an almighty fuss about a bit of old cake, or sliver of salmon sold at some laughable price. Talk about a fool and his money are soon parted!

Bit off topic, but from an Ideal World perspective, I was surprised by just how much of the flexi pay ledger they collect, and actually how little bad debt there is. From the recent administrators' report filed at CH, at the point the administrators were called in, Ideal World had an...

I always assumed that Den was on 30 Capstan Full strength a day, hence the coughing. Another one with a clear smokers cough was The Fragrant Sally - horrible.

Crikey, poor bloke. Hasn't he had cancer before? I'm sure I read something about his father dying (maybe that was heart failure or something) which sort of spurred him on to try to stay as fit and healthy as he could, and then he got cancer (or again, maybe it was something cardiac). Either...

And the fragrant wife Debbie.

Silly Sally. Silly, silly Sally.
