Back to who?

If I like something on Q I will order it whether I like the presenter or not.

Is miceal a jockey in another life? He certainly looked a dwarf figure by the guests. Anyway DF is a self centered buy me, my, I, and the slight SE cum posh accent very false. Don't like the sideways glance and the 'shut up while I'm talking' look she gives the camera when the guest obviously knows more about their product than her.

We all have presenters we like/dislike but usually this is more to do with shouting and talking over guests, not forgetting talking a load of twaddle.

In addition things like Chuntleys saccharine persona and Marvs rolling eyes annoy me but I don't mind Craig, Clare or Simon whereas others are not fond of them.

However these are personal traits but with Del Boy it is much more than that. Sufice to say that must of us wouldn't trust her as far as we could throw her and that does not make us inclined to purchase from her in particular and Q in general if we think we are being conned.

Personally anyone who can let the BBC debacle wash over them isn't the type of person I'm interested in having anything to do with even if it as impersonal and remote as a shopping channel.

Who is SE?

I think objectively she is an amazing shopping tv presenter, but I could definitely do without her orgasmic facial expression in their recent advert.

I've heard a couple of sayings recently; the first, 'least said,soonest mended' and the other, (a quote attributed to HM The Queen) 'never complain; never explain'. It may well be that Ms Flint has been advised not to mention particular things and let them die a death. Secondly, just like any salesperson in a store, you will get your softly softly approach from one assistant whilst another will chase you all around the shop. If you want to buy, you will, regardless of who is presenting the item. It is a shame though that there is a hard sell at times. I find it distasteful and much prefer the gentleness and apparent sincerity of Kathy Taylor and Dale Franklin who seem genuinely interested in whatever they are selling.

There is selling and there is hard sell using any means available

One part of me feels sorry for the. Twatter / FB followers as I sort of think they fall into the needy category but the next minute I feel they all deserve each other.

Lord above, she is now trying to get Alison the jewellery guest to co write a book about jewellery with her and wants us all to twatter in to implore her to go down the route.

Sarf east!

Is calling someone a cow really disgusting? I've been called far worse and didn't run off blubbing to my mum - and not online either lol. Can take or leave Debbie but I do feel that everything she does is all about her and all this "join my Facebook, join my Twitter" is just for publicity and to get folk to buy her stuff. Hey, if it makes you money then why not, but don't deceive the vulnerable.

I honestly think DF doesn`t care a damned what people call her or say about her, in fact I think she kind of gets off on it because her " followers " rush to defend her especially on FB and that keeps her name on everybody`s lips and as they say in her business " there`s no such thing as bad publicity ". Someone says something unkind about her ( even though the comment might be justified ) and suddenly her name is plastered everywhere, her buddies are praising her to the hilt, she`s able to bleat to anybody daft enough to listen and once again wallow in sympathetic adoration. I never watch DF except when I might watch a video about a product on Q`s site and she`s the person in the video and I have no choice but i certainly think she`s an expert in manipulating situations to her own ends and her self promotion is legendary. Who else would create such a furore about the BCC prize and yet still come out of it being rewarded with her own show, named after her own group, and mentioning her own books/buddies/FB followers and most importantly to her .... The narrative I, I, I, I, I all the time ! Rest assured DF doesn`t need defending by anybody, she`s as slippery as an eel and in her eyes, even negative attention is better than no attention.

Oh she cares alright! You should see what she wrote to me on Amazon! ahhahaha then she deleted it half an hour later!

Not remotely imo. No one would particularly want to be called that obviously but it's a very mild insult.

Shame you didn't copy for us to see.

 

[Vienna]

I notice posts from her blog/back to you/ queens group or her personal fb page ( not sure which one ) are now being posted to Q`s facebook page. You can see her comments and other peoples comments from the thread but regular people can`t post on it so obviously you have to be a member of that particular group. Obviously she has plans to take over Q`s facebook page too lol

 

[Autumn]

Ooh what's this about a book review?!

I wonder how many of her 'coven' are on here?!! Sorry, was that nasty?! Oops.

My goodness some of you on this Forum are really 'into' this whole DF thing. Personally she does not really interest me at all I have never actually heard her selling technique or her apparent plugs for her books as I never watch QVC with the volume turned up and I only watch what I might be interested in buying. But I still stick by what I said in my original post even though I'm clearly in the minority.

I think it's not so much the name used (imho) but name-calling chips away at one's moral high ground. It may be short-hand for how you feel about the person but I'd rather read reasoned argument and witty prose.
