Random musings and general banter.

Is this where they got them from?

So it’s basically cheap and nasty

What a time to be alive - copious close-ups of Dirty Peter's awful nails as he fondles a Majesty watch.
"These Austrian crystals cost a fortune" - the watch they're flogging for £24.99. "Just get it 'ome". "You can pay 30 to 40 pound easy for a leather strap".

Now a leatherette bag and the promise of the "Vacuum of the Year" with Peter Volauvent at Mid-day!

 

[Jazzydrury]

Here we go Cordless Vacs are crap again, but those powered by the National Grid way hey

 

[HughTwo]

Yes, surprise, surprise.....the Homesmart corded has the power you have been missing - the Power of the National Grid!!

Dirty Pedro - "We're that busy on this. When it's gone, it's gone and there won't be any more until April 2025". "Minimal stock".
Let's see!

Yes, one or 2 small things to sort out but not much. My freezer is packed, got a few treats in the cupboard, I definitely won't starve! And I have a nice bottle of Prosecco which I will open Christmas Day. Glad you're all sorted.

Food order being delivered tomorrow, Hubby collecting the turkey on Monday, baking Christmas Eve afternoon, so all sorted.

Just seen that hot water bottle belt. Where on earth did they get that from

I didn't like the way he had his hands in the side pockets right in front of his 'gentleman's area'. I'm being polite in case Galesgal57 is reading, I know she's very sensitive and I didn't want to shock her by being graphic

Was he rubbing his groin (wa*king) on TV.?

Once again the vacuum of the year gets an airing.What an absolute pile of I wish i had the power of the National Grid when I do my hoovering

It did look like it, it put me right off my mid morning cup of tea and my Hob Nob...

That's through Alibaba, VGL have their own route to get goods from China, most of their own branded stuff comes from China, so they can probably get it even cheaper.

Loved the dancing with canes opening….

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Taiwanese dollars, actually.

45p a unit, then.

 

[Battiola73]

Everybody got Christmas Food and Presents sorted, I think we are like 99% done

I’ve got most of my food sorted and have Tesco delivery tomorrow. That’s got the cheapo vegetables and plus my usual foodstuff. I did treat myself to a mixed pack of Boursin cheese.

 

[Ostrichkeeper]

The value of the watch has now reached £2,000 says Pedro. Wasn't that at the start though.

 

[exmothian]

Pedro you are talking bollix at the lowest price ever on a Volcan.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

The Vulcan watch looks rather good on his wrist…

 

[Battiola73]

Amazon do own branded batteries also, which do the job, they are what we use

Same here, I buy the mixed pack of AA & AAA ones. The only Duracell ones I use are in my Smoke Detector. Makes me cross when IW tell people they’re getting a bargain with those Philips ones, that are usually around £5 cheaper and you get more from Amazon.

 

[Battiola73]

"How much does it cost to get a button sewn on your shirt or trousies at the repair shop?".


What, do folks not use needle and thread anymore?

Do folks actually go to a repair shop to get buttons sewn on their shirts/trousers?

I’ve got a foot for my sewing machine specifically for sewing on buttons. Never used it. Always sew buttons on by hand.

Similar to a Patrick Phillipe according to Pedro. Must be Patek's brother. I thought Mike sold these out last night, must be bounce backs again.v
