Random musings and general banter.

[cheeky chappie]

Here’s an idea. Make them in massive sizes and use to replace the wind turbines currently used to produce wind power. Or even better use the presenters as they’re full of hot air.

Tbh that is a good idea, however I've already placed my order with IW for 17,699,000 of the smaller ones.

Approx mainland UK coastline = 11,000 miles.
Convert to km = 17,699 km.
One flamingo spinner per metre required = 17,699,000.

So just under 18 million.

Next weekend I'll make a start installing them around the coastline. I'll also need quite a lot of electrical wire to link them but I'll pop into B&Q for that.

You might see me on various tv progs

You can get the E88 on Ali for a tenner.

I wonder what the legal requirement is to slap the word 'pro' on a product? Nowt I suspect, cause there's nothing pro about a £30 drone ... nothing.

 

[cheeky chappie]

A drone that they can't fly in the studio. Ignore the price says Pedro, should have been £89, then £59, and it's selling for £29.99. It must be a quality piece of kit.

Are they showing any footage whatsoever recorded by the drone outside? I take it back if they have, however from the bits of drone shows I've watched, they never seem to show the recorded quality of the camera from outside. I always wondered why ...

yes they did but it was terrible and blocky

 

[Muttley]

Everything I see them do is so poor and the tactics in general so misleading and cynical. This drone presentation is no different. The ‘We’ve Got the Price Wrong’ routine is truly sickening. Yes…it should be £9.99….How do these people sleep at night? On a very expensive, comfy bed.

They must think their audience has dementia. I only dip in and out for a laugh but have heard the wrong price routine so many times.

Can you imagine if the expensive Opatra stuff they flog came up on the screen as £4.99? Can't see them honouring that! I have a feeling the camera would go off with 'technical problems' until the price was corrected.

I was thinking - why can Shop On TV adequately demonstrate drones by showing all the key points, yet these people can’t or won’t more likely.

Not seen these E88 drone slots on IW3 yet, but probably because nobody competent or willing there to try flying it in the studio 'live'.
Can't see PS having the tech, know-how or physical hand-eye capability to fly one.
Heaven forbid one of the presenters, prepares, trains and actively engaged with the product to demo and sell it with skill.

I had seen the E88 model for about ,£13-25 quid on Ali/eBay type sites, so £30 is a bit pricey from IW3, but not unreasonable. For £20 I'd jump with free p&p, but not at their rates.

However, the hd pro cam on SoTV sold by RDM is 2 HD cams (forward and variable downward) and a remote gimble, with gps but I still can't see how they justify £180 for it.

So £30 E88 as a competitor on IW3 makes sense.

It’s the ridiculous contempt they must hold them in.

 

[Jazzydrury]

They did try flying one in the studio, nearly hit Peter

I see Yiannis is currently on

Perfect opportunity to indulge in a Sunday afternoon nap. Yawn...

Yannis flogging the "limited edition" Nubeo Mars chipping watch again. How many of these things do they have? If you walk into a hotel or restaurant, people will ask about this watch when you are wearing it. He knows about watches, and this is underpriced. Yeah, yeah. Just trips off the tongue, he's learnt well in the short time he has been with the channel.

 

[galesgal57]

He's just said Peter V has exceptional knowledge! What on I've no idea, I thought he was just an out of work actor.

I've very never witnessed someone approaching anyone enquiring about the watch they're wearing! But Mike of the Masons has been saying it for years so it must be true...

Maybe his exceptional knowledge is how to survive when you're an out of work actor.

He seems to be doing ok out of it.

They're obsessed with so called bragging rights. My husband keeps his watches covered up.

Fire blankets and extra extinguishers at the ready…It’s Chef Mark and his smokin’ electrics…More water poured into the socket, Chef…

Nice start for the culinary delights…Budget air fried crinkle cut chips….Those boots look as tough as old lamb.

 

[Kit10]

Is that pork raw?

 

[Kit10]

Whoops, it was lamb. It still didn’t look cooked…….
