Random musings and general banter.

They've probably got no choice but to use some of the dreadful Ideal World goons because so many Create & Craft Presenters have left.

Sally Jacks is on it now, selling Knitting Stuff. I'm not sure if Create & Craft is live all day though.

The Ideal World POTD at 9pm is another crafting product. :mysmilie_59:

I saw a couple of minutes of Sally on C&C. She said something like "I'm not a serious crafter but I keep my ears to the ground on what crafters want, and they want this". It just happened to be what they were selling, what a co-incidence... I think crafters deserve better than this bunch, it is quite a specialist market.

From the comments I've read from Create and Craft customers I think you've hit the nail on the head Muttley. Crafting is a very specialist market, and it's a community too. They connected with many of the long standing, experienced presenters that have now gone elsewhere.

It's one thing this rabble of goons (that surely nobody could possibly connect with) screaming and gesturing about decent value but everyday, generic clothing that they claim is perfect for people of any size, any height, clothing that can make Mushroom Stroganoff and clothing that can quote War and Peace but Crafting, it seems, is a different matter altogether.

They seemed to have it so right at Create and Craft. It now looks, sadly, like it could end up like the main Ideal World channel which really is an abomination.

It is dreadful :down:

I will say that although she got a lot of flak on iw in the past, Jacqui Joseph was an amazing presenter on c&c (perfect for her non shouty style)... along with Dave Bradford.

Big losses quite frankly.

I think having the craft potd on iw every Tuesday is genuinely a good idea as it will advertise their crafting channel to the casual viewer who may not know it exists or knows someone who would like it.

That being said... not just anyone can sell crafting products. As has been said, it is a very niche but specific audience and I assume they don't like being shouted at.

IdealWorld should have never employed ex bidtv presenters ruined the channel. Create and craft are based in london aren't they ?

Thought I'd give the crafting a look in with Papal P

'Oh......Oh look........and how expensive do they look, if I got one of them for Christmas, I'd think you'd won the lottery.........Oh look.......'

'This is Susan, I love this lady........you smell lovely........oh look at this, I love this *laughs*.......isn't that beautiful........isn it......we had a rabbit once.........we had a tortoise, I only saw it once........we're making the card now'.......Susan says she's going to do some paper weaving.........'what?.........Oh Sue, I love it, isn't this fabulous, I'm gonna try this.......oh I have to jig about a lot lately, I was tossing and turning last night...........I do love that, can you see that.........sorry Sue, I'm dabbing, I'm gonna get a water bed..........my friend had one, their house caught fire, it poached them to death..........now'.......he doesn't do heat, he's like a mushroom, he should be shoved in a cupboard and somebody will shout 'fungi'.......back to the card, Sue has some crushed glitter, he thought she was going to say crushed nuts...........'oh look at this....awwwww yes!....int this lovely.......and they would be a fortune.......awww look at that!........(Sue keeps interrupting his 'gags')..........if you are in the club the benfits are humungous'.

Now he's back with Keith......'if you see it now buy it cos I saw a tea cosy in a charity shop once and I left it, was it a Tuesday, no it was a Wednesday cos I wash my hair on a Tuesday, anyway, I went back next day and it had gone'........

Now he's asking Keith if he had a potty when he was a child and tells a story about him and his Dad when he was young........then he's on about bunions

He's 'quite simply' dire........poor Keith, poor Sue :mysmilie_466:

Is there something we don't know about money and there's some huge benefit in deliberately making a company go bust?

Anyway, Ideal World have stepped up their campaign to totally cover up those tubbies who won't follow their low fat, no fat, gotta look like Doddy Flump, fitness regimes.

It's the total cover Kaftan. It comes in Silky Feeling, Luxurious, Spectacular, Slimming, Beauty Inducing 100% Polyester.

It will instantly make you look better as it virtually hides you from humanity. It's perfect for this 30 Degree heat :mysmilie_59:

Paper. Good grief, it's getting worse isn't it Momma? How will they deliver them, with a stamp? (for £5.99).

We know of their relentless campaign of shaming us 'rotund' people into slimming and exercise (but believing all the time we're just too lazy) so their answer is to throw sheets over us from head to toe. But now they want us to wear recycled bog roll on our big, fat heads.

And the paper bag is clearly a dig at us blimps always having a Takeaway Carrier in hand.

Shame on you all, lardies :mysmilie_59:

Sally Jacks' confession time: She "doesn't do much crafting" but she has never seen this type of insert before and she's "really excited". Easily pleased then :mysmilie_59:

P.S. They're still "very busy".

As bad as she is even she's miles better than Dirty Peter or Shreque doing Crafting. They stink.

The endless 'very busy' line reminds me of when an anything but busy Z List Celebrity says they're working on 'exciting projects that I can't talk about' :mysmilie_59:

By way of comparison it's now Dirty Peter doing fashion, and his "luvvie kiss" catwalk-style intro was so nauseating even by his already low standards. I sometimes watch him out of (perhaps morbid) curiosity but this time he was just too much to bear. And that's saying something.

He's unbearable, for sure. He's the star of the 'show' though. This is excruciating.

More updates on the Super World Record Nobel Prize Winning Trousers : -

They're 'like' Crushed Silk (95% Polyester)
They're 'like' a Viscose (95% Polyester)
They've got Waftability
For curvy, voluptuous women they're deserving of those curves
They make you look all woman
It's colours of softs and delights, it's engaging
This is Italian (no it isn't, if it was my word we'd have known about it)
It's fluid
This is collectibly a design of fabric
They elongate the leg (which one?)

He's rapping the phone number and they're now playing drum rolls to build up anticipation. Anticipation? They're a iittle bit 'available' for any anticipation aren't they? :mysmilie_59:

Does creepy Pete buy made to measure suits?? And by that I mean they are obviously made to measure for someone else, just not him. They are either too big or painfully too small. Maybe he should be buying the wonder trousers for himself?

We didn't see the intro (thankfully) but we saw him "singing" to some background music, meaningless rubbish like "they slim you down", it was almost like he was rapping! I had to change channels and am having a restorative cup of tea and biscuit whilst watching mastermind and hopefully that should lower my blood pressure...

 

[mr tom]

They might aswell be called ''the fat channel'' as that's clearly who they target.

Sometimes he looks like Norman Wisdom in his ill-fitting suit!

He's pathetic. He's hugging the magic trousers and faking tears now. I suspect he's making up stock updates too.

And apparently they're 'giving priority to the phones' again (20p a minute). How come nobody else ever says that?

This is quite clearly desperation isn't it? :mysmilie_59:

The z list celeb bit reminds me of when Shreiking Sally and Perfume Pete did that You Tube clip to tell us about an exciting new project they were launching but they couldn't tell us about it. I don't recall anything came of it which is fair enough, but the "announcement". Get over yourself...

 

[Muttley]

He said that medium was size 14-16, but if you are an 18 you should try medium...
