Random musings and general banter.

[Jazzydrury]

Thanks for the compliment, but as i keep saying i ain't an expert, just smitten by the watch collecting bug.

No way IW would use me, unless they want their watch sales to slump.

A watch show with Peter and Hammy would be funny

As Peter would say these are Heirlooms, Hammy would say yeah ready for the Skip maybe

It's all part of their marketing strategy for the brand, I assuming their experience working at Brand logic Europe ltd is where they got the ideas for starting/strategy for a faux Swiss brand selling faux luxury homage watches.

Tbh, I think their strategy is not much different to designer fashion and accessory brands available on the high street. Create a false caché that these are exquisite, designed by a 'name', have an upmarket store selling these in Bond/Regent St/Rodeo Drive at high rnd overblown proces, then sell to the masses at exorbitant overpriced, but cheaper than their own shop.

What a bargain. Not.

He is a disgusting cretin

Says a women was feeling the sick on bus, he told her to use a bag, so say she replied I don’t know the women.

Then went onto talking about Senna pills

You forgot to mention it was the "Number 69" bus.

I think the only person who thinks his opening monologues are funny are Dirty Pedro himself.

Here are my heirloom pieces.

Pagani Design 1731 - VH31 movement
Cadisen 1032G - NH36 movement
Benyar 5185M - ST6 movement

I forgot to mention the prices I paid...

Benyar was just under £20.
Cadisen just under £40.
Pagani a few pennies over £24.

Fair enough I have then gone on to buy various straps, but those have come in at less than £5 each, even the steel milanese currently on the Cadisen.

It was a blurdy disgrace how they got away with that - shameful and they should have been hung out to dry. Oh, I forgot, laws are only for the little people, aren't they? I was lucky enough not to lose someone close during the pandemic, but how those people felt who lost loved ones, I can't begin to imagine - especially after reading what the scum who were supposedly in charge got up to.

Right at the start of Covid my aunt and uncle moved to a care home from a warden controlled home as their dementia was increasing. Their daughter could only see them from the window, she couldn't go in to help them settle. I can't imagine how it made her feel hearing how politicians behaved. It was a very long time before she could visit properly.

£229.99 for a carved Buddha, what happened to the cheapo tat!
,

It's been replaced with expensive tat

Of the Masons has dehumidifier bags, battery testers, the sound bar, watches and a steamer. Time to turn off.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Water Bottles again, at least there is plenty of Football on this evening

 

[Jazzydrury]

Mike gets bored, you can tell when he begins to talk about Films etc

 

[Scraping the barrel]

So,Ideal World will only sell us 2 battery testers. Why do I need 2?
One for each battery

2 for a tenner plus p&p…

I do have one. Very useful to be fair…£2-£3 each elsewhere to be fair again

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Oh Mike,also,those dehumidifiers will be needed after using that steam cleaner that you were using everywhere the other day belching out steam all over the place.

You clever beautiful bald fella

 

[Jazzydrury]

Mike selling a hair dryer holder you couldn’t make it up

Yeah they love to contradict themselves, one day pumping moisture into your home is great, next its terrible, just depends on what product they are selling.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Can I stand all his ghastly repetitive anecdotes. Like listening to the landlord of your local thinking they’re telling all their old and unfunny jokes as new each night. That combined with dull, low rent and generally unappealing crud, poorly Paul Priced…Whatever did happen to the ex-Ideal World him? No…Time for a four pack of Long Life, a Vesta curry, a Birds Eye Trifle Mousse, a box of Weekend, some reruns of Game for a Laugh…and a scan through this week’s Titbits.

 

[Wanderer]

Mike selling a hair dryer holder you couldn’t make it up

Absolutely.

The logical presenter for that would be the Fish Lipped One or Herself.

Ohh, freezer defroster.

Reminds me gang. Bottom drawer of my freezer is frozen solid in. Thoughts as to how I can safely clear some of it to release it? Other drawers are full, I'd rather not have to do a full on defrost and throw all of it.

Edit - It is partly hidden by the plate/element that runs down the back and then curves to a horizontal position.

Darn, that takes me back.

I'd love some of those in the freezer.

 

[Hammy60]

Mike is fairly unlucky chap around xmas, over recent times he's had a busted boiler, broken down on the motorway, now a busted freezer, Mason should just hibernate at this time of year.

I loved those as a kid

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Didn't Chef Mark also set fire to his kitchen after he hired him to cook Christmas dinner (raw sausages and burnt oven chips) for him? Asked Mason what an A...G....A was...

 

[Wanderer]

In my day Dunlop meant tyres or inner tubes not shavers.
