Random musings and general banter.

Am I tripping, or has he done something to his eyebrows? Not as bad as Pedro, but they look odd to me.

It’s a pity she never apologised for the rattan fiasco she was fronting up during the last days of IW2.
As for doing good deeds for charity,just keep quiet about it,better still don’t film people who will never have the sort of lifestyle she likes to portray.
The milk of human kindness runs very thin sometimes with certain individuals

There was a sketch show in the 90s, may have been Harry Enfield, and there was a character who "did a lot for charity but didn't like talking about it". Needless to say they did nothing but talk about it! Got the feeling they were having a pop at sanctimonious pop stars who gave 0.0000001% of their income away and got tons of publicity.

Nicce tee shirt five pack £39.99. £10 cheaper elsewhere (MandM).

Their direct price comparison strangely picks the £100 one.

This appears to be the deal, then. Long-term strategy of selling cheap, bought in bulk items for pennies at those £7.99/£9.99 price points. If they shift in number, good profit margins. Would they need a new studio to sell this class of item? Probably not? Was there ever a new studio?

Occasional better items to supplement the majority £9.99 type stuff. All you can say is these Indian business people aren’t daft, and if this low rent goods for sale works, then why should they change?

For those of us wanting branded tech, decent name watches, high street branded products in general, it clearly ain’t happening on this channel at least.

They veer from ultra cheap to the hugely expensive such as Nubeo watches and the Opatra range. Bargain basement to luxury suite.

The strategy is baffling.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Interesting to know the cost prices they pay on that Opatra stuff and the so-called big ticket watches. I think we might be surprised if we knew.

Double gusseted trainers. The first thing I thought of was Pedro. Imagine him going to town on a double gusset, and running his tongue around his mouth. I must stop watching this channel.

I feel sick...

Look at the price of the 18k yellow gold diamond ring on TJC, only 23 left. Was £29999.99, price dropped down to £14999.99, and again tp £12999.99, and now down to £7999.99 with 1 more drop to come. What's the point. Just put the selling price on screen. Final selling price £2199.99. Reduced it even more because nobody has bought one. Now down to £1499.99, and 1 has sold.

It's sad reflection of how some of our retail trade treat they're potential customers. It's all about conning the gullible/less fortunate in society to part with their money, cause the gullible love the thought of getting a bargain, present them with a faux bargain and they'll lap it up.

The CEO (Jeff Freedman) of Resultco (Heritor, Nautis, Reign etc brands that Emma is rep for) sums it up perfectly as to why they have ridiculously high RRPs.

"Today’s consumer needs to satisfy their mental state to want a discount when making a purchase. To aid the retailer we enhance the retail price with an expectation that the dealer will discount at purchase."

How did the human race manage to survive before gummies?

HalibOrange or Sanatogen.

Are we going back in time to price-drop TV?

Mike Smash and his great mate Dave Nice, who worked at Fab FM.

Indeed.

Plenty of chinese made watches with quartz or automatic movements for not much money with the kind of features that IW bang on about and you wouldn't need to put them on house insurance.

It seems that the JML channel is now called Home Shop TV. Is this something new? Shona on now, followed by Simon Brown.

 

[Muttley]

Of course, it was Smashy and Nicey, I just had half a memory there!

Must have ideas.tv apparently

Harry Enfield Show is repeated on That's TV channels daily, usually around 11pm. All the favourites - Tim Nice but dim, the Old Gits, Lee and Lance, Smashie and Nicey, The Slobs and Only Me.

Oh Gawd! Foghorn has posted a video on Facebook showing us mere mortals how to cleanse and moisturise on a long haul flight. Why bother? All I want to do is watch the in flight movie, or try to sleep. There are no words.

Back by popular demand at 9pm! It's the easy up walking canes.

She’s full of bog standard BS. The same cisterns of selling, day after day. Lifting the lid off her repetitive thoughts each day is worse than being chained to a radiator. The bottom line is her verbal diarrhoea leaves me both bloated and flushed so stressful it makes me. This is the tu rd time I am having to raise these views. I now need to put them down on paper, and roll them over to my local kamikazi unit to provide an armed guard in front of my TV screen to protect me from any more of her anal retentive ramblings.

Here’s Mac, the award winning BBC director, Walter pronounces. Award winning for what and when? Catch him standing by the cemetery gates most days…Mac’s by graves.

I don’t think I can honestly take his shy te this morning. It MAY help if I switch the ***** off.
