Random musings and general banter.

[Herring]

Or 'not crocs'.

So alligators then.

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

Oi, IW do the bad jokes around here, not you!

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.

If Mike Mason was genuinely trying to inform viewers, not rush, hurry, pressure, or influence them why does he only ever talk about stock flying out, phones in meltdown, web gone berserk, sell out city, no-more in the business, etc.

Not once heard the fella give it a calm "loads of stock left gang, don't rush, take your time, maybe talk to the wife and see if she'd appreciate a £9.99 knock-off perfume for her birthday cos, blimey, we get a lot of customer returns…", or any kind of "if you miss out now, don't worry - more coming in to the business from China soon", etc.

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.

Don't know about quantities, I suspect low to average, but my assumption is they've added IW item shipments to the TJC warehouse distribution line, with just the boxing and paper invoices changed.

Anybody know anything definitive?

Does he ever, ever buy cheap perfume for the Goddess?

He wouldn't dare and this very fact drives a coach and horses straight through his strategy of "why pay £260 for the real thing when you get a cheap home label knock off for a tenner?"

It ain't good enough for the Goddess but it's fine for his gang members, the saddoes. I mean they probably don't go out anywhere anyway do they? And if they do it's OK for the bingo hall or corner boozer.

I just thought you were being polite

There's worse things in life than spelling a word wrongly on a forum, you could be a shopping TV presenter making outrageous claims about a product in order to scare the viewer into buying whatever rubbish they're currently selling.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Nothing's changed, then

Don't worry...you won't go to Hell.,

How original - a Creed knock off called Greed.

 

[Lord Helpus]

How original - a Creed knock off called Greed.

He's doing it again.

He can't tell the difference between a £300 brand and a £10 knock off. And it will last 8 hours but he advises you to splash it on - just like dear old Henry Cooper did with Brut in the 70s.

He is not even adding the usual cretinous disclaimer "I'm not comparing just saying".

This is really such a blatant rip off.

 

[galesgal57]

You wear Greed, and men will approach you on a night out and ask you what fragrance you are wearing! Mike must frequent some very strange places.

 

[Lord Helpus]

He's been talking utter twonk not only for 30 years. Right?

The man is a moron of mammoth proportions. Okay?

 

[Lord Helpus]

I've known women do that but never ever ever a man.

He really is a (plinky) plonker.

If only Roger Cook would crash through the scenery.

 

[galesgal57]

Buy 3 bottles, then if you don't like it you can send two of them back.

 

[Hammy60]

Retro Polo shirt?

They're just bog standard striped polo shirts.

 

[Hammy60]

Buy 3 bottles, then if you don't like it you can send two of them back.

Yeah i heard him say that but wasn't sure. He said you've got your 30 day money back guarentee, which at first thought he meant you could try the greed and if you didn't like send back, but in a sort jumbled way he said the send the other two you bought back.
Thought what a cheecky ********, encouraging folks to try as you've your 30 days money back guarantee but buy 3 to take advantage of it.

Dodgy looking leather bags now

The money back guarantee on footwear, Is that you wear them only indoors, so they can resale them, shows the company what they are.

Great news for Michael le Maison, Perfumier to the (look alike) Stars.

Glastonbury has announced that next year all the artists will consist of tribute acts.

Pencilled in so far are:

Nowaysis (Oasis)
Take That II
Smells Like Nirvana
Black Sabbitch
The Bootleg Beatles
The Pogue Traders
Bjorn Again (ABBA)
T. Rextacy
And Introducing...
The Bootiful Bald Fellas
Peter, Paul & Carly Simon

and many more.

And the piece of resistance (as we say in the electrical trade)?

We all know Mike loves his music (he inflicts it on us enough) and this is a bleedin' bargin!!! Why pay more?

Best of all - the entire event will be sponsored by IDEAL WORLD!

Festival Slogan:

"All the look & sound at a fraction of the price"

I went to Glastonbury last month, it would save me from buying a ticket next year
