Random musings and general banter.

Joanne is selling Crocs, and no I don’t mean Peter

 

[PhædrusR]

Hand Contraption on the show now, this channel does sell some real old rubbish don’t they.

I switched over to watch it after you posted that.

£99 for something that squeezes your hand. Get a cushion. Put your hand under it, then sit on it.
Same effect. Free.
No idea why you'd want to though.

He said it also helps your 'meridians' around your body.

What a twonk.

Tell you what, mate, it's TIME to pack it in. (geddit?!)

Or 'not crocs'.

So alligators then.

Maybe they're made in the Caiman (Cayman) Islands. (Geddit?!?! )

 

[Herring]

I don't think they're that desperate!. I never watch it, but I would if he was on it.

He claims he was scouted for Strictly Come Dancing but they ended up giving his spot to his 'dear friend' Alison Hammond instead (he revealed this when she was in the news for something 5/6 months back).

Pedro hasn't once been booked to appear on tosh like Celebrity Ghost Hunt etc YET was somehow top of the list for the casting bods at the BBC to star on the UK's biggest celeb talent/reality show…

Collagen coming up - they only have 30 left!!!! Maybe I should stay up to the early hours to get it.
Mind you, Joanne says we'll be living to 120 and want to reach that age "looking like something". Perhaps I can wait until they do it on 500 flexis!

Just cut the terrible unsourced indirect and direct price comparisons. Stop doing the ‘Wrong Price’ game. It demeans Ideal World as a business, eradicating its credibility with sentient beings. It is also grossly unfair on anybody daft enough to buy from you because of it. Are you not confident enough of your brand and of your merchandise to sell candidly and to offer a genuinely informed choice to potential buyers? I genuinely don’t get these out of a suitcase selling strategies. They are like something a mischievous kid dreamed up. They do your channel absolutely no favours whatsoever. Had I seen Ideal World selling in the right way, I may have actually bought some bacon scent or a WOO WOO WOO WAH WAH WAH cane. But you have only encouraged me to look elsewhere for these. Others, I am sure, have been equally put off.

Channel hoping spotted Natalia presenting Opatra - what has she done to her face - the glossy look

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Whatever she has done or not done, visually she looks like somebody offering high-end hairdressing services with their own hair styled via a pudding bowl. You are looking (I assume) for in a presenter selling beauty and youth regeneration products, a natural and fresh, not interfered with look, to presumably encourage potential customers to think to themselves: ‘Well, she looks really great on them, I’ll invest.’ With her shiny forehead etc. and generally unnatural looking appearance, that is the last thing encouraged in my view. In fairness, maybe shiny head syndrome affects all the presenters, but other than Ovzedomehedz’s bonce, I haven’t seen another suffering from it.

I’ve just come across a hour that looks like it’s been planned.

A Holiday hour

 

[OutOut]

Found the IW induction handbook on Amazon!

When I saw Mason blatantly flogging £9.99 scents as high end perfumes - and naming them - I felt despair. You can't do that - the offence is called passing off. To suggest as he does that the fragrance and longevity is virtually identical is also fraudulent.

Rolls Royce used to stop brands that claimed their product was the "Rolls Royce" of this or that market. They were sent cease and desist letters from lawyers. Of course this was for print adverts but the principle is the same for any media or format.

They are nothing less than con merchants and their ludicrous comparisons in price and quality get more outrageous every week.

But Mason owns that exact bottle! he wears it daily and is even replacing his holiday tradition of buying a new one at the airport because it's so good! In fact, when he went home and his wife got a whiff of it, she pulled him close and wouldn't let go!

You don't honestly think Mike is making it all up surely?

That's right - the Goddess pulled him in for a second sniff and clutched him to her bosom.

Mind you, I knew a friend who loved the smell of toilet duck, so the sense of smell can be extremely variable gang, and I mean variable.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

It’s like the majority of repeat offenders- until there is a broadcasting penalty imposed that does make them listen, change and improve, nothing will change. Why would they without that first? Certainly not on moral code grounds.

I do yeah.

And I think he prints the labels on his home computer. He gets the Goddess to stick them on.

Let's spare a thought for those working in the Ideal World warehouse - they must be working their fingers to the bone.
Every time I flick over, the stock is going very, very quickly - it always sells out, items are flying, you have to be quick.
I hope these poor souls dispatching the items manage to get a day off.

 

[SiRich]

Ive noticed a lot of ‘im not trying to influence you only to inform you’ from sparky aka mason of the mikes. Usually after advising on low stock.

Obviously some pressure sales technique slap on the wrist they are mindfull of getting pulled up on.

I would suggest Mike, contrary to your claim, your main aim is to influence people to buy with these stock ‘statistics’ and its a bit lame to claim otherwise

They seem to have carte blanche to say virtually whatever they want to reel in the mug punters.

Can't go wrong with a good dash of Citrus Splash.

The tactic appears to be: "This medicines Wild West potions and lotions wagon sells health improving products that will change your life for the better." Then immediately afterwards: "We can't say that, but it may do." They set a seed of something hugely positive, then effectively withdraw it. But the mind implanting has worked with those who want to hear some plastic machine or Vulture Oil will change their lives for the better. They just don't want to hear the qualifying opposite bit afterwards. THIS WILL HELP. This may help.

dunno what you mean Duke, Peter Simon doesn't look a day over 80 (and by all accounts possesses the forehead skin elasticity of a fresh plucked chicken! )

What bigger advocate for shopping channel hero beauty products could one need (zelda from terrahawks maybe)
