Jill ... unbelievable is only one word!

[maymorganlondon]

Jill Franks has a new irritation for me. She over-uses unbelievable when describing products... and it's not one word, oh dear me no! :mysmilie_10: Everything is UN believable.
Of course the drivelling is full throttle on the Lulu and Jill show - 2 hours this evening in separate doses. So we're wall to wall with our new two-word expression of marvelousness.

Talking of drivel, Lulu is hard to beat when trying to describe the "science" behind Time Bimb.

Jill F made me laugh yesterday - and not in a good way - when she got to the end of the hour with Lulu and she was going through details of the TSV again. She said 'the check & nes cream' or something like that, got her words the wrong way round - and didn't correct herself lol

She's very hyperactive isn't she! That's probably why she's so slim, it's all that nervous energy.

 

[shopperholic]

She sounds so manic, with stressing every single word so much her neck muscles stretch and you can hear the sharp intake of breath after every sentence (well almost, she never seems to finish one). I don't know why the QVC presenter is unapproachable for fear of upsetting one, the producer and director must be scared to tell her to slow down so I blame them. I don't watch QVC much anymore, thank goodness!

 

[Maisie]

Jill is certainly starting to look her age, she is getting very haggard looking. I think that maybe doing so many late shows isn't good for her, she needs to ease up a bit and have a few early nights with her horlicks.

 

[maymorganlondon]

Oooh - I caught her last night... INC redible. Yet another 2-word word in the Jill Franks lexicon.

It doesn't emphasise how fantastic a product is - it just sounds silly to me.

Plus - that sort of thing gets old quickly. Why not dig out a thesaurus and find some other superlatives to use to ring the changes?

I know if I don't watch her for a while, my irritation with her little quirks will fade away.

 

[ERICS MUM]

Nearly but not quite as annoying as Dale with his "Un..............believable"

 

[Brissles]

On Lola Rose, it was "oh my gosh" - "just look at that". Last night I think she peed of Nicola, as she was telling Julia R on a later show that Jill and Catherine were on another planet and she couldn't get the colours demonstrated enough ! oooops ! noticeably Jill was much more restrained on the show tonight.

What is causing Jill to look he way she does right now, is her addiction to the gym. Believe me when I say, this will age her quicker than those with a bit of meat on their bodies, always has done, and always will. I probably won't be around when Jill is in her 50s and 60s and 70s, but I bet when she's in her 50s she'll still be very fit, but she will have aged facially at the least, largely because she is over working the gym bit, and is painfully thin, most thin people do not age well, at least on the parts we see i.e. mainly the face.

I find it so funny that LULU attributes her skin to what she's been secretly using all these years, and out of the kindness of her heart, she now thinks she wants us all to share in these little tricks, because she wants us all to have good skin as our right - bravo LULU, if it was truly your secret to how you look now, you would never in a million years, let us all into the 'secret' c'mon girl who do you think we are - idiots.

Saw again tonight the Helen Mirren ad for L'Oreal's Age Perfect Skin Care and Hair colour - it always amazes me, and somewhat frustrates me that we are supposed to buy these things because famous people use them, as depicted in the ads - I've never been at all taken in by this, and won't be now. I mean, do we really believe that Dame Helen Mirren uses L'Oreal to colour her hair at home - of course not, she has it done at an expensive Salon - who do they think they're kidding.

You're in luck - she's 50 this year, along with Alison Young!

I think it's the running that does the most damage - high impact plus the weather factors (wind, cold, heat, sun).

 

[Brissles]

We're stuffed if we are overweight as we get older, with the threat of cancer, diabetes, heart problems etc etc, and we're equally stuffed if we are underweight too, with cancer, lack of calcium, thyroid problems etc etc.

If we're slightly overweight (fat), we sweat a lot, get breathless, have triple chins and reduced mobility, BUT we do have smooth skin !

If we're slightly underweight (skinny), our hair lacks volume, our collar bones are visible, and have no problems with mobility, BUT our skin is weathered and the creases are deeper.

Our only hope is to find middle ground - able to munch on a donut and hope the skin is not too papery !

:mysmilie_8: BUT I bet we're happier, I would rather be plump (fat) than skinny to be honest, but if I had the power to change anything it would be my height, I'd so love to be around 5'9 or 5'10, instead of just 5ft.

You mean she's only 15 years younger than me - IN credible, I mean that's just IN credible, I would have thought only 5, just goes to show, I might even see her when she's in her 60s. I knew that was her age, I still think she should do something different with her hair though.

 

[thatu]

She needs to ease up on the running and find something else to destress because running gives you a high and that may be part of the reason she's doing it. A few extra pounds would really help her look better. And don't get me started on the hair again. Get it cut and styled, woman! It's ageing you, not making you look younger. Just be yourself. You'd look better for it, more like the attractive Jill who used to be on our screens.

 

[ohnonotshoppingagain]

I agree with you, when she was guesting on Q she looked so much better. I do think we women sometimes either dress or wear our hair the way we do, those of you who have a partner in life, may want to dress and do hair the way he or she likes it to be. It would not surprise me if this was the case with Jill.

Just a thought. I remember the days when I went to the gym, taking only one day off a week on advice, because the owners of the gym told me, you have to give your body healing time, so that's what I did. But, I had a high all the time when I went to the gym and I would say I was almost addicted to it.

The good thing about that lifestyle is that if you ever have to have major surgery (I did) then you recover and heal so much faster than someone who doesn't workout or go to gyms.

After my surgery and almost dying hence emergency surgery - I didn't go back to the gym, it was a case of having to wait at least six months before going, then the old story was that I had got out of the habit and didn't take it up again.

 

[maymorganlondon]

I'm reviving this... not so much because of the constant refrain of her favourite words, but I've seen Jill on twice today on a Laura Geller hour, and she keeps going on about someone called Dickie being in the building.... unless he's a guest presenter or someone we would actually know of or have seen before - why do we need to know he's in the building????

Any ideas...? Or just another instance of her love of an in joke we, the viewer (and paying customer in many cases) are excluded from? I've always been taught that if you have a joke share it properly or don't mention it at all as otherwise it's just plain rude to your companions (in this case that would be us, tuning in to watch).

 

[shopperholic]

Just caught the end of that, she was rambling so much, as the shot was going to Charlie, I heard the tail end of "Dickie!!" As they cut her off mid flow...........Dickie? Erm keep your private life to yourself please Ms Franks.

 

[maymorganlondon]

It's driving me bananas now - she's worked it into the explanation of the B&B colour range!!! I'm kind of wondering if she's going to do us the courtesy of explaining who the heck she's going on about... probably still won't mean a thing, though.

 

[Moth]

Dickie wouldn't Richard Jackson, would it? More like Richard Head in my opinion

And does JF wear a clip-in fringe? It's a totally different colour to the rest.

 

[Rebus]

There was a Floor Manager (or the like) called Dickie. One time when they turned the cameras 180 degrees and embarrassed the staff during a product demo I recall he was introduced (unofficially) as the office joker....
