Just watched a Ninja presentation and at one stage poor Catherine was just standing looking at the camera whilst the mouthy BA, can’t remember her name, went on and on. She didn’t take a breath apart from saying Literally every so often. She always does this though.
That must be Gail, the chef. She certainly is full of herself.
 
On Tipping Point recently was this question:

In his epic poems, Homer often refers to nectar as the drink of the gods and which other substance as their food?

Both contestants answered “doughnuts “ as a reference to Homer Simpson.

The answer being ambrosia, Ben couldn’t contain his amusement.

I think the key is to listen to the question.
Bit of useless information.

My Dad invented the concept of Tipping Point. In the early 60s he worked as Works Manager for a company making arcade slot machines. The owner and Dad would sit down and come up with new ideas for machines. One of the sessions Dad came up with was The Pusher, and he created the prototype with balsa wood in our front room - Mum was incandescent! Fast forward and the arcade machine was created and sited in arcades world wide. Eventually a TV production company took the idea and you get Tipping Point. Nope we are not millionaires, Dad didn't even get a bonus, just an employee with a good idea, the owner patented the conceot and did in fact make mega bucks.
 
I thought I remembered the name but when I googled it and saw some images it didn't actually ring any bells. However I'm pretty damned sure that there was another green coloured medicated shampoo on the market in the 70's that looked exactly like Vosene but was called something else. Oh says that there wasn't and that Vosene was the only medicated shampoo out there, but I blinking well know there was another one but I'm bu**ered if I can remember what it was called and it's bugging me!
Think we used a medicated shampoo called Sebbix … when I was a kid back in the 1960’s.
 
Or a Bingo caller. The woman is insufferable, I rarely watch her. Bellowing out nonsense while chucking vile looking custard or gravy over everything. I've never seen anyone eating any of her offerings either.

I switched on earlier and it was Gail Samways and Chloe Everton. Dear God, the noise was unbearable, competition to see who was the loudest?? Unwatchable, switched off yet again. Whose idea was it to put those two on together??

Hope you had the remote to hand or some earplugs.
 
Lots of dermatologists on social media sing the praises of anti-dandruff shampoos both for skin and scalp. Apparently there are dermadex mites which it can help control... and some may help improve hair growth for those of us with thinning hair.

You can always tell when the on screen "talent" have had a session with the bright young things as a set of new buzzwords get unleashed on us!

Regarding Gail being shouty when on with Simon Biagi, I'd say she's fighting fire with fire as imo he's a bellower of the first order (as well as being very cheesy).

Talking of TV quiz shows, a quick story of my late Mum.

For 2 years before she died age 92 she was housebound. I’d pop round 3 times a day to make her meals etc. One day she was watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. She was answering all the questions correctly, I couldn’t believe it ! She then told me the show was a repeat - she’d seen it the previous week and had remembered the answers. I spat my tea out -maybe even down my nose !

My BIL used Selsun Blue until it disappeared from the market. It was for fungal dandruff but my sister always used to apply it for him over the kitchen sink.

My sis used to have small white dots all over her body but they disappeared from her forearms after she'd been doing BIL's hair. When Selsun was pulled my sis's arms started getting the white dots again.

Turns out the white dots are a yeast infection, tinea versicolor caused by Malassezia furfur. They've disappeared again since he's been using Nizoral.

I don't know if anyone else is a label reader like me but for those who might be, have you noticed how many shampoos now have either zinc pyrithione or piroctone olamine? I think companies have taken the hair growth associated with anti-fungal treatments and run with it.
