Random musings and general banter.

Jezza has watches at midnight, but only for loyal customers who stay up. They've got a special deal.

Looks like the loyal customers weren't so loyal, they bought absolutely nothing.

There was one of each watch available and they are all still there this morning, must have been Jessie's amazing sales patter.

Wow.
The very worst aspects of capitalism, all laid bare, all blindly supported here.

Safe to say, Phaedrus, that you and I do not agree, on any single point of your post.
Not one.

I find your views arrogant and cruel.

And for the first time on this forum, I am going to set you to ‘ignore’.
My life is hard enough anyway, without you making it worse.
I have tried, throughout my life to pay my way. I have never claimed a single penny. But as I approach the end, I discover people like you who believe, somehow, I should’ve done even more.

Well, that hurts. A lot.
I truly find your view aggressive and arrogant.
So, goodbye - I hope you never need what you can no longer fund yourself.

Don't despair Prof, the vast majority would agree with you and admire the independent way you've lived you life as many of us have striven to.

I had a lengthy debate earlier with Phaed and we sort of called it quits but he's popped up again with his stats which prove nothing. Fact is a lot of innocent pensioners will suffer as a result of this dastardly policy from a Labour - a LABOUR - (as Neil Kinnock once repeated) government.

I would prefer that wealthy types got an extra bung to spend on fine wine than to cut the winter fuel allowance of many many poorer pensioners. But they could easily have means tested it if they wanted to. They are a rotten lot.

Talking of which is Pete the Cheat coming back to IW? I know we all marvel at his ineptitude but maybe it's time they dumped the old fraud for good.

Whilst politicians in general are a bunch of self-interested, hypocritical, lying, greasy capons...Never, ever, give one party such a huge majority over the rest. One party states kill any form of democracy we have left

He couldn’t sell a weapon of mass destruction to a megalomaniac with loose trigger finger syndrome.

I have also put Phead on Ignore.

He picked me up once on my grammar, as I don’t string my sentences together properly, As I’ve said a few times on here I had a stroke when I was 14, which has left me with learning difficulties, sometimes I forget.

I got sent a Private Message saying even though you have learning issues, If you want to get anywhere in life, you need to at least try. You don’t come onto a forum to be told off.

Thats why I don’t tend to post on my worst days, when my Brain Isn’t in Gear as I call it, even though coming in here makes me happy.

Sorry about ranting.

Don't worry Jazz, your posts always make good sense and you obviously have a great sense of humour! Which is what we all need to cope with life and this crazy channel!

On about Peter in a strange way I’m missing him

 

[Duke of Cheese]

For a kid who went to a lousy school in north London and left with a few CSEs and an ‘O’ Level in Sociology, I can get by reasonably well words wise. That’s not a reason to have a superiority complex for anybody. It is just how it is. Picking up people’s grammatical errors is pretty poor form. If you can understand what a person is saying - who cares, essentially. Saintslad did similar with Latearrival and upset her. I don’t think Latearrival posts here any longer.

 

[Jazzydrury]

New Presenter on with Paul, any idea who she is

 

[Lord Helpus]

Now they need to double up presenters to sell batteries.

Who is the shiny faced new girl? A relative of Natalia?

Don’t think she’s had work done, possibly a bit to much slap on her face, as In makeup

I never doubted that you were a true aristocrat Duke, your posts radiating a certain stamp of authority.

My first school wasn't great but in those days we were taught the basics very well. Learning times tables by heart, long division et al which stood us in good stead in later life.

My old mum was the best speller I ever knew and she left school at 14. God knows what they teach thesedays but it doesn't seem to translate into clear speech or good grammar.

The new girl seems okay, but we know it doesnt take long

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Looks like she has just left The Secret Garden and got dropped off at the wrong place and in the wrong century.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Paul just sprayed the air freshener on his clothes, weirdo

 

[Jazzydrury]

She sprayed it on her arm

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Imagine where Simon Peters might spray it? Still, he’s back working as an Avon lady now, isn’t he?

Those into their watches might find this article quite interesting. OT to the forum but links with some of the posts on here re the truth behind what's in watches.

What does Trump’s $100k watch tell us about the future of luxury goods?

Think like a tourbillonaire

I've just got on the ship in Majorca and sampling my first cocktail and there's a bloke at the next table in the bar who is the spitting image of Mike Mason, seriously, I swear I'm not joking! But he's Scottish and quietly spoken. Let's hope he's the only look-a-like I encounter.

She's already on the ''look absolutely amazed when the price is revealed'' stint so a thumbs down from me.
