Random musings and general banter.

Mark Ryes is going to Simon Illes new channel Seen on TV along with Dennice Robinson and Dean Wilson - scheduled to launch next week from makeshift studios in Simon's warehouse. It's basically going to be a carbon copy of Shop Extra and we all know what a resounding success that was

What about Peter Simon? Maybe it is just a ccoincidence that this new channel is starting up and Peter missing in action.

 

[cheeky chappie]

We keep on saying it (are we wrong?) surely they're flogging a proverbial dying horse starting up these new channels?!?

I suppose (if we're not wrong which I don't think we are) they're electing to keep on flogging for as long as the horse is still breathing. Given it's their bread and butter I suppose you can't blame them.

Yes unfortunately if a horse gets injured or suffering from a non treatable illness,it gets put down.
These fools continue to plough on regardless,chucking good money into badly run concerns.
Not having a thought about customer accountability,bid tv/ IW2 as the recent example!
Still I suppose if the captive audience keeps buying,they will carry on with all the shenanigans much to our amusement

The comments are fantastic

She said: “I was in the fast lane driving at 70mph in the pouring rain when my windscreen wipers stopped working."

Just an idea, maybe don't drive at 70mph if it's pouring rain? Yes wipers stopping at any speed would be a concern, but mitigated at least slightly if you drive according to the weather.

Having said that, these 'smart' motorways have a weak link ... humans!

 

[Duke of Cheese]

The fact toilet roll head calls it ‘The Fast Lane’ says it all really. There is NO fast lane. There is first lane and two overtaking lanes. In those weather conditions perhaps it made more sense to not overtake and certainly not in the third lane.

God she loud and vulgar to listen to.

Same old guff from Masons of the Mike, along with the same items. I can't wait for the portable washing machine again

 

[galesgal57]

Notice how these lights are being sold in pairs at a discounted price, same last night with the big zappers. Obviously can't shift them as a single item.

You've got that the wrong way round

Tbf, *I* haven't gotten anything the wrong way around as it isn't my information. I simply shared what the media account I mentioned had tweeted posted on Twitter X

If something is wrong perhaps Simon Lies and his posse should share information properly and clearly without vagueness — like Rob did with Shop on TV — so the infinitesimally few people who care know what's in the works, when it launches, where to watch it, etc.

But no; this outfit is all ego, acting like they're working on the next iPhone or Spice Girls reunion. Secrecy and hushed teases as though people give a fig! It's just another low-rent, down-market shopping TV channel flogging cheap imported Chinese products to gullible pensioners…

Creepy Mark selling the bug zapper for 6.99 on TJC. Why don't they stick to jewellery, and leave the tat to IW?

They seem to be freely swapping products around between the channels right now.

Chloe had bengalines on one of her TJC shifts last week. Though I seriously doubt she'd stomach bringing the kind of pound shop tat that constitutes most of IW's current stock to air

Never seen such an effing load of as I have tonight.

Let's hope I don't feel the same way about them after the game!

Who rattled your cage? I was just providing some accurate insight.

To be fair to Simon, correcting a handful of critics on an internet forum will be so far off his radar when launching a channel - as tin pot as it is going to be.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Right. I am just off to wash all my Action Men’s underpants in my super new camping folding table sized green plastic washing machine. When that load is done, it’s Barbie’s smalls, and the Timpo Wild West Fort soldiers’ blankets and handkerchiefs…

 

[Slipalong Trevaskis]

Surely Mike could have brought in some of his y fronts to demonstrate using this machine. What is the point just talking about it, people want to see it working, although these are flying out, Mike would have us believe.
