No real help with the psychological effects then, either. It was assumed you just thought yourself lucky to have survived and get on with it. My Dad would never talk about the bad times, just the funny things (especially if it involved an officer making himself look a bit silly), but he lost...

When Pete said those immortal words 'So what do you want me to do?' I'm surprised nobody told him. (And what was that yellow 3-ply knitting wool doing on his head?)

You're right, this is becoming increasingly common - is it because the newly-created Campaign for the Rights of Apparel Police (or CR&P, for short) have outlawed the use of plural terms? Does it disadvantage two trouser legs, when each should be treated as an individual? Answers on a...

if we mention IW we might get a discount, especially if the therapist bought one of their heaters.

Oh gawd, find me a therapist who can get that image out of my head! Pete in his 'combis' (thermal, of course) is way too much to cope with!

Oh, er, missus!

Hi & welcome, Sharoline. If you haven't done so already, do tune in to Gemporia and IW as well, if you can. Not to be missed :D

You've had a horrible time of it - hope things improve from now onwards, merryone.

You're not supposed to eat the Q ones, you are supposed to frame them and invite your friends round to view them. ;)

Blimey, Herring, you've really got the gift of words - your IW script composition is spot-on.....you could get a job there and work with the one, the only, the celebrity of celebrities, the star of stars........yes, Pete!!!!!! (Did I just hear you say 'get lost', or was it something ruder...

I always thought there was something strange about her....

Was it a gag that they were selling at the time? :) Gemporia used to do this "sales technique" (I use the term loosely) ages ago - Adina and Vicki Carr were two of the worst presenters for this, I seem to recall. 'Put one aside for me, please, oh, I must have one as they'll all sell out' etc...

They've been saying tanzanite was becoming rarer ever since Adam was a young lad scrumping apples in the Garden of Eden, but they've still managed to flog container ships full of the stuff for the past 15 years or more, not to mention other TV channels (TJC) flogging it too. How the heck can it...

Aw, so sorry to hear this. They are one of the family, so hoping that it's not so bad as you expect. Love to Otto.

It's car crash telly, and like you I only tune in to see if it's still as bad as the last time I tuned in :ROFLMAO: and to count the number of times the King of Jade tells us to multi-buy. It's a guilty pleasure. I think.

Welcome to you, Peter. Are you also a Gemporia viewer? If not, tune in when presenter Adina's on (usually evenings). She can be identified by the fact that she (a) keeps rubbing her nostrils with her fingers because she's obviously unable to afford a box of tissues/a hanky or is a compulsive...

It can only be fronted by the King of Jade himself, surely. When will they ever come to the end of the blo%%y jade? They must have container shiploads lining up full of the stuff. It really is a joke.

The main reasons I stopped buying were because of the discrepancy between what I'd seen on screen and what was actually delivered to my door and because of the hitchhike in prices for wafter-thin metal and what I considered to be poor quality stones. But you're right about the variety of stones...

I used to think that about Gem Collector when Alex was the main presenter. Whenever you switched on, the same names were buying over and over again, same names messaging in, but you don't hear them now Giggling Gertie (she of the garbage-speak) or Jim Brooman are presenting. But you're right...

So sorry. And so much sympathy for how you feel - all the Christmas razzmatazz can be overwhelming at the best of times, and I think a lot of people feel it's all too much, especially those for whom it brings back many memories of those who were so dearly loved. Not saying for one minute that...
