New to me! It’s interesting how often Q brands end up in M&S, though up to now mostly beauty.

If it’s a prelude to Q going with a basket p&p charge that would be great. More likely it’s a cockup somewhere along the line…

Gail is unwatchable for me. Not only is she shouty, I don’t like the way she interacts with either the presenter or the food. Far too often the food looks undercooked or burnt. The presentation of the dishes is sub-par as well. That’s on Q as they would, in the past, have had off-air home...

Not exciting but could be great for anyone in hospital or going to festivals, camping, sailing or backpacking… and if you have limited access to a bathroom due to personal health issues or just bad luck with household plumbing. Too expensive to be the only solution, but a great way to maintain...

It’s a shame, but I agree with you. And they’ve reduced their warehouse stock for many brands so much that if there is a TSV day, you pretty much get the same products in a slightly different order in each show. My telly isn’t working at present, but I’m not feeling any pangs. I check out this...

ITV are not very good at recognising when to shelve a successful series. When Mark McManus died, they didn’t shelve Taggart, and got several more very successful years out of it. They need to call it quits on This Morning after the Phil and Holly shenanigans, but no… Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard...

Sadly, going on telly is still seen as a quick and easy way to get rich and famous… but the truth is that even the least obviously talented sleb has had to work extremely hard to get where they’ve got to. Every overnight success will have put in years of effort, as well as getting a dash of good...

You nailed it! When Joe Public goes on tv, it's cheap but hard work. No wonder so many sleb versions of game shows and reality shows are being pumped out.. the slebs are a bit less banal and clichéd than the rest of us, simply because they aren't freaked out by studio cameras.

I think Alison Hammond would be really good as a Q presenter. I think she has skills. I can't help wondering if For the love of dogs is almost her nightmare job! I loved her interview with the famously prickly Harrison Ford. Think it was when the new Bladerunner film came out. She totally...

I cannot fathom why someone who is scared of dogs got this gig. The reason that show took off like a rocket was Paul! His connection with the dogs, his love and compassion for them cannot be faked. We all knew he was the real deal.

Totally agree! The site looks awesome. Huge thank you to Graham.

Nana sounds like she's a heavy smoker to me, or has a damaged larynx. Maybe both. I'm trying to imagine her voice onBid 😀

Sometimes you need to try on multiple sizes... and multiples of a single size.. Then if the garment is black, you may find you need to size up due to the effect black dyes have on the stretchability of the fabrics. I think it's why many of us like all the stretch fabrics... gives you a bigger...

One long bodied, the other short bodied? Height can be the same but build and proportions and be completely different. Mind you, having worked briefly doing quality checking, the "tolerances" + or - away from the standard measurements are quite surprising. You can have a difference of more than...

What makes a person attractive is entirely subjective. Alison has more confidence and more energy, both of which are generally attractive qualities. And for Ali, a monochrome outfit is a good choice compared to some of her adventurous patterned clothes! I would hope, if she is using a...

Who knows, it may turn out to be the best thing. Being around things that remind you of what you had and lost isn’t a healthy place to be, I suspect. Your friend has a chance to clear out negative associations and make a fresh start. If she can treat it as an opportunity and find positives in...

I have a loose knit linen cardigan. Both warmer and cooler than you'd think. A cover up of some sort is a great idea on holiday, especially if you are going into a church or other religious building.

And I bet he doesn't consider there will be words he doesn't pronounce correctly! To an Italian the English pronunciation is incorrect...

I know people, including a Scot, who pronounce plastic as plah-stic / plar-stick... no great leap to welcome elastic to the fold of mispronounciation shame 🤡

It depends where you come from! Unlikely a Northerner would say that, but a Southerner may.
