    The Chuckle Brothers flogging a rainbow jumper. Can it get any worse? No Peter V as an expert or restraining influence just two babbling fools let out of the play pen. This must be the worst pairing since Jekyll and Hyde.

    Or, "Oh yes, it's a wonderful fragrance called Horatio, named after Hornblower don't you know." The chosen scent of sailors!

    I must say I haven't seen much of an improvement. A couple of recognisable brands have popped up - Adidas, Slazenger - but the presentations and selling techniques remain poor. IW3 is so set in its ways by now that it would be difficult to turn around. There would have to be a complete culture...

    Plus one of those big parasols they were selling to keep the rain off.

    Yep we've had our say and we'll leave it there. I agree that the budget will be bad and will add to the cost of living crisis and probably inflation. They never learn that 'change' for the sake of change isn't always for the best. Some forum members are sensing that IW is getting better and...

    They won 3-0 with 10 men. The carrier bag had a hole in it.

    In my experience young folk are a bit soft and expect the heat. Often their homes are too hot for me. I once lived in a mobile home with no central heating and the windows froze on the inside too. As we age our blood thins and we tend to feel the cold more. But I still think if you can't see...

    Of course not and it wasn't taken that way. We touch on many subjects which is one reason why I like this forum. Nostalgic TV is a popular one and far less controversial than politics!

    Fair enough. We do tend to stray into areas other than shopping TV from time to time. Sometimes the real world intervenes which is inevitable when shysters like Mike Mason try to use the winter fuel allowance debate to sell fan heaters which is despicable. "I'm not trying to frighten you."...

    If you can't find the source, best not to make the quote. As I said the idea that 1 in 4 pensioners are millionaires is pie in the sky. Nobody apart from Labour lackeys believe that. There was no special pay award for nurses regarding covid though they certainly deserved one. Like I said means...

    The so-called black hole was caused by Labour giving 22% to doctors and 14% to train drivers which in turn has seen the refusal of nurses to accept 5.5% and who can blame them? So really it is Labour's black hole. The tendency to blame the previous administration will run out of steam before...

    Random musings and general banter.

    Facts and figures which this disingenuous government will use to defend their diabolical decisions. I've heard some claim that 1 in 4 pensioners are millionaires which is utter poppycock. Means testing is fine but do it fairly and honestly not based on assumptions. Pensioners in the higher tax...

    Masonic Mike flogging the Billy Hunt watches with the same old fake comparisons and descriptions. And then he employs the new ruse of warning pensioners that they won't be getting their winter fuel allowance to rustle up sales of some heater he'll be pushing later tonight. He's a scumbag of...

    Random musings and general banter.

    1997 was a long time ago and naturally the winter fuel payments have become the norm. The act of taking it away is therefore sheer spite from a new government who have just got their feet under the table. Sorry, but there is no justification for this when union workers have won big pay rises...

    Ah Clarkson! He is brilliant isn't he? So witty, can be a bit offensive but without malice. He even takes the rise out of car types when he does his adenoidal accent. Frankly I'd sooner listen to Jezza with adenoids than Jezza the stumblebum mumbling his way through yet another dull presentation.

    Paul doing Duchamp. Zzzzzzz... They are a Swiss family (like Robinson?) firm. To be called a Swiss watch you have to have all sorts of certifications and then goes on to explain none of them. £1850 reduced to £400 blah blah. A painful watch (pun intended).

    He is the **** of all twats. The master of misinformation. The king of crap. One detects no warmth in his character, no empathy, he has an air of annoyance about him, an impatience in his voice "look I'm telling you, hurry up and buy", a superior sneer on his pudgy face. Unpleasant.

    Actually Cliff did a version in the 60s as well which charted. And Johnny Mathis before that. Donny made it a million seller in his teen heartthrob prime. Don't tell Mike of the Masons - he'd sing it.

    Absolutely right Prof. This vindictive piece of legislation was aimed squarely at standard pensioners because the majority voted against Labour. Quite rightly they didn't trust them. I thought they were pledged to support the poor, sick and elderly? The I.2 billion is a drop in the ocean...
