Random musings and general banter.

I can't remember if this has been posted already, it came up in my feed yesterday, but someone has made a tribute to Ideal World with some amusing bloopers from the more recent incarnation, before TJC came along (I think):

Some of that if not all is from the Ideal shopping Direct's Ideal world before the first admistration, before Hamish aquired the Ideal World name and channel. Fabbro the Dormeo guest never appeared with Dormeo on the last version of Ideal World, think they decided after losing over a £1 millon to cut ties with the new version of Ideal World, which was probably a good decision seeing as it went into Admin also.

Runaround was brilliant, he was totally unsuitable to do a kids TV show! He used to be brilliantly mouthy to the kids that tried to cheat. Happy memories.

I've seen bits of the Footage Detectives, love the old clips they show.

Talking Pictures is one of my favourite channels, the SciFi movies especially. Weepingly funny, and amazing how far we’ve come, and I don’t just mean the special effects

I think, could be wrong, but it looks like they are allocating so much of their stock to each show so as far as Simona was told/knew her allocation was sold out, she probably wasn't told there was actually more in the store for more shows.

That seems to be standard everywhere except QVC. TJC presenters frequently referred to allocated stock, and taking it from the Beauty Channel (when they had one). Gemporia is the same. I’ve heard Ellis mention the at there were only 700 of an item, her allocation was 200, but she’d been able to take some from someone else’s show.

Mike has the Gammon again tonight. Pedro said they would fly out at £12.99. Obviously not.

Mike just sold a power bank/hand warmer to a Bertha and a Bettina!

He could try and negotiate a tribute washing powder to heritage brands of the past to replace bacon perfume - PAZ…

Shopping Telly Mike of the Masons says he "prides himself on his honesty, integrity & clarity".

And he said it was a straight face too.


Strange a Selly Telly person who'd pride themselves in something they're absolutely pathetic at.

Mike at 7pm, Have to warn you, what we have is all we have left.

Reckon you’ve only got 5 minutes before they’re gone.

45 minutes later, how many have we left, is that it, 45 remain, now 45 you say is a lot, but we don’t deal in hundreds we deal in thousands.


Once again Mike relying on his honesty, he says “We’ve been around a very long time so we must be doing something right”.

Who is we Mike cause everyone you’ve worked for are gone, apart from the current few months old channel.

Bid TV – Gone

Ideal Shopping/Ideal World 1 – Gone

Hamish’s Ideal World 2 – Gone

TJC’s Ideal World – 3 months old, but how long to go?

Yeah Mike you really must be doing something right, just look at the staggering longevity the channels you've worked for have.

Getting a lecture about what goes on in our mowwffff

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Decadently sexy….Decadently sexy doesn’t come at £29.99, I’m afraid. Start the new year as you mean to go on. Gammon later. Please God, No…..

 

[JeepSwensonfan]

Just bought out the stock of gammon.

Can't wait to smell like a pigs arse.

 

[Keep Going]

How long does it take to complete a purchase at IW mk3?

Mike of the Simon's keeps saying we have 3 people going for this watch and only 1 left then 8 going for 2 watches......no sell outs yet.....strange behaviour by these buyer types!

 

[Keep Going]

I wonder when a presenter is selling a Gammon if the spray is just water when they are demonstrating it? Surely someone would sneeze or get watering eyes, or be unable to hide a facial reaction? start coughing etc? we all do that from time to time....

Mason is an absolute dinosaur the way he talks about relationships

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Whatever way you look at it, the presenters must be so bored with selling or not selling this. Along with that ghastly piano music, the verbal pitch is just so salacious and so terribly outdated. Depressing to listen to in 2024. Hammy in Aberdeen now texting in. The stark immaturity of it all is amazing. If they were actually shifting any stock they wouldn’t need to or have time to play these ridiculous games. Can you imagine QVC doing similar?

 

[galesgal57]

Hammy wears Gammon!!

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Children in the Gallery. Lancing pimples and making up texts. Classy work.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Hammy wears Gammon!!

I genuinely had hope they would improve and stop this shi…No hope for them as it stands this evening in my opinion.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Mason is an absolute dinosaur the way he talks about relationships

Don’t tell him people of the same sex can actually get married these days. Stay Safe, my arse..

 

[Duke of Cheese]

No… I can’t… Turn her off…Selling vocal torture therapy - free of charge.
