Random musings and general banter.

New kids on the block, also on that Epsiode I fancied them so much, I had posters of them

Why do you think they spend so long on 1 item?

eg PS going on about curtains for ages, only 2 colours and 1 size so he had no choice other than to repeat the same things over and over. There isn't much you can say about curtains.

Why not have 4 items an hour for example?

It should be renamed Car Boot Sale TV

I found footage (a full episode) of the Christmas Pre-recorded 'Gone Live' from 1989 featuring a celebrity Eastenders V Brookside Double Dare hosted by Peter Simon. If you skip forwards 3m 20s it gets straight to the gameshow:

to echo the other comments, on top of his game and doing a good job of it, a long way from the complete imbecile who found his way onto IW iterations, talking and flogging absolute shite, like a stuck record. What a shame for the guy.

Oh emma's broken the tourbillon, now describing the beautiful box while watch is descretely handed off to be checked.

 

[Hammy60]

Oh tourbillon back still not working, hope that's not the one left for a customer.

It’s just a vulgar version of Shop Extra,all the ex bid contingent just carry on regardless,no thought pure hard sell on products you would pass by at a car boot.
Had 30 seconds of Jaxx shouting and screaming that was enough,as for pedro oh dear how low can you go

Natalia on again this morning. I think she's been on every day this week.

Presenter flogging 2 in 1 PTC heater, going on about clean air, air quality & air conditioner. It's not an air conditioner, it doesn't push clean air, it just recirculates the room air like normal fan heaters. Only difference it uses an impeller in the base to suck/push instead of fan blades.

I'd contact the ASA again, but with the amount of transgressions they are making with two fingers up in the air impunity, the ASA would probably report me for serial complaint stalking. Just let them get on with it. Being incredibly harsh, anyone foolish or desperate to buy from them essentially deserves all they get. Saying that, at heart, I still feel very sorry for those who do and buy on the basis they believe all the sales pitch nonsense they serve up.

I don’t normally watch it, but QVC have some really interesting, innovative products this morning. The sort of stuff in a couple of cases I would be keen to think to buy. I switch over to this channel and I’m looking at £10 bobble hats combined with a spy camera or is an MP3 player? Different league. Now that writing pad AGAIN. Who is actually responsible for putting this stuff to air? A child? A sentient being in general?

 

[Jazzydrury]

I see Anton is on this morning

He’s flogging the Dash Cam saying if you film in full HD you will only get 3 minutes on the card

 

[Deleted member 21838]

I have a 32GB card. That was what they recommended. When is the Nextbase stock arriving?

 

[Deleted member 21838]

Fair play to this guy - he is actually presenting the dash cam in an honest way.

What is he saying if you have a crash this might not help

 

[Deleted member 21838]

Exactly.

We had a lot of problems with kids and their mobiles for a while, and not just with pics of girls but taking pics of staff and putting them online with inappropriate comments etc.

I am soooo pleased I grew up in the 70s and 80s before all this stuff was invented.

Peter seems half normal there, wonder why his career has gone how it has

The harsh reality of showbusiness I suppose. Yes talent obviously has a part to play, however a degree of luck helps, being in the right place at the right time, knowing the right people and having a good agent/representation. Also how professionally you as 'the talent' approach your career.

Before anyone starts, I'm not defending Peter S in terms of what he's become on selly telly, I'm simply referring to the fickleness that is showbusiness. Some rise to the top, many don't, all might have equal talent.

Look at Rob Locke. If he'd been successful in bagging a lead role in a major show years back, his career would have taken a completely different trajectory.

I was 17 when 1980 began. I am so glad I grew up when I did. I couldn’t face being that age now with life today to face for 60 odd years more.
