Get well soon, Patsy. Hope the holiday isn't spoilt, bloomin' typical isn't it, that illness strikes just before going away. :rolleyes:

Yes, that's right. I I love her voice - she's always mentioned with her song 'Pearl's a singer', but there's so much more to her than that one song.

Exactly. Flinging yourself about, kicking your leg out every 5 seconds, doing running steps, the lifts and acrobatics, to me do not equal ballroom dancing. I've only ever seen bits, couldn't watch it all the way through for that very reason. I saw a comedy skit once, where the comic took the...

It's 4.23 pm and Lindsay has just told us that we could expect to pay four figures for a silver bangle. Yeah, for what's on the screen I'd pay £10.00 but that's about it, but they're asking £99.99 (she reckons the right price is £199.00) . At Van Cleef and Arpels, apparently you could pay...

Hindsight's a wonderful thing, we are all wise with hindsight. As posters have said on here before, these channels are very good at getting you interested and before you know it, you've bought. But if you love the piece and still wear it, all well and good. I think we've all learnt a...

Yes, Steve Bennett used to say that on air quite frequently back in the day, when he was regularly presenting! I somehow don't think you'd hear it these days.

Oh blimey, I must bid for the jade......it's so rare, you know....(hope the auctioneer mentions that in his/her selling 'blurb');)

Thanks, Jojo1. The way Ange was bigging it up sounded as though it was the best thing since sliced bread. When I think back to the good jewellery they used to do back in the day it beggars belief....dyed opals presented as though they are such a colossal bargain. :ROFLMAO:

Donna, I just saw that on the newsfeed! If I remember rightly, he was quite seriously ill a few years back, but recovered well. Hope he recovers from this latest medical problem very soon.

She was fantastic when I saw her. Incredible 'bluesy' voice and covered Chris Rea's 'Fool if you think it's over' - made a great job of it, too! My favourite Spandau one is 'True'. Nothing against 'Gold' though. Tony Hadley of Spandau always reminded me of the actor John Duttine (or perhaps...

Years ago, when I used to buy from Gemporia and occasionally Q, I used to always take screen shots, and include the item number in the screen shot. I wanted it to be clear it was the specific item number I'd ordered, as I didn't want to be palmed off with anyone saying what I'd received was...

You are not alone! Couldn't stand 'Brucie' and 'the Strictly judges panel' either.

...Angeline going on about the colour of this Ethiopian midnight opal.....but details clearly say it's dyed(?). £199.

Lindsay I can listen to for all of about one minute, then it sounds like mice being tortured. Jeff and Jim I used to find quite easy on the ear (although more recently they've got more 'hard sell', IMO). Jess I find irritating and hyper and full of 'wow's, 'what'!! and other cr%p, so two...

How do you know that? If you're going by what an insurance valuation says, you're probably in for a big surprise if you try to sell something!

One of the worst for sounding patronising IMO was the woman who used to be a presenter on Q - can't for the life of me remember her name (Claire?) but she had beautiful, thick blonde hair, very attractive lady. Unfortunately, she spoke to the viewers like a little girl of three, was terribly...

Perhaps Bet lives in the attic, like in Jane Eyre?

Two of my favourites seen live were Elkie Brooks and Chris Rea. Both great performances.

Ah, I remember back in the day when they had some good sales, and the birthday celebrations were usually worth watching, too. When I took a peek at last year's birthday celebrations I couldn't spot anything that looked remotely like it had been generously discounted, the majority of what I saw...

Were his band the Blue Flames when you saw him? My brother passed on some of his Georgie Fame records to me when I'd barely heard of the man, but I loved his music and his voice! Still listen to them. On the subject of Oasis: has one of them (don't know which one) been surgically removed...
