Random musings and general banter.

I really dislike Joes apron..it brings to mind serial killers and slaughter houses.....maybe I've watched to many horror films..lol

I know what you mean about the apron. It reminds me of something a blacksmith or farrier would wear.
The worst thing about it is, for me, that it always looks grubby and unsavoury, mind you that could easily be said for most of his hygiene practices displayed during the broadcasts.

Not the phrase I would gladly apply....

Thats my decorations up and tree erecting done. Placed the nine cards around the room as usual.

I got a new Christmas tree and it comes pre-decorated. Very basic but it takes 10 to 15 seconds to put up and maybe less than 30 seconds on first go or fiddling about. There's a couple of poles and some legs that snap in place and a star that goes on top. Lights just require batteries and switched on. So much easier than previous efforts.

He (Walter) is like a smutty end of the pier show seaside entertainer, cryogenically frozen in a large tube within a gimp chamber since 1974. Woken up 50 years later and told to carry on where he left off.

I found what they do to him to keep him going......

 

[Wanderer]

Anybody senior is probably away until January

Is there anyone above 25 that works there other than the presenters?

 

[Wanderer]

Tremendous rancid sausages extravaganza with Walter Appendage.

Nobody watching Mike

[Jazzydrury]

Same ****, here comes Damp Bags

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Allegedly they were selling that phone charger for £20 last time (according to Mike).

Now £7.99..

.. so we were being well and truly ripped off the first time then Mike. ?But he didn’t say that! So let the viewers decide.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Mike who? Knowlesy is top boy now.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

I don't blame you, no different to any other day and no fun if you can't all agree on the speed to move along at.

Same for me pretty much, can't recall ever eating Christmas/Boxing day lunch anywhere other than at home or at my sisters, even that is not easy now with the close to 200 miles between us. I was there a couple of years ago for a few days, house and bed was cold it was almost a relief to leave. Need to plan ahead if I get invited again.

Having your own space to get back to is so important. I am at my partner’s house two or three nights. a week. It’s a good house, but it’s not my house. I look at going back to my home for a couple of hours or so when I am staying with her, as respite, even. I would NEVER live with anybody else again. I need the protection of my own domain. I would never willingly relinquish that again.

 

[Ostrichkeeper]

These are NOT air fresheners, they are area aromas and used in six and seven starred hotels. Yeah, of course they are.

 

[Scraping the barrel]

I am shocked!!!
These room fragrances he is selling. There was one he hadn’t smelt before.
So he sprayed it and smelt it. I thought he may say ‘ Bluudy awful.)’ yet strangely he said “good God! That is fantastic.blah blah blah”

Well I never! What a coincidence. Good job that he loved it or he wouldn’t sell any!

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Oh Mike!!
How kind! IW are not selling to make money,they are selling to make space!

Blimey! What a strange business concept. Hope it catches on

So do I, when it does off to Asda/Tesco/Sainsbury to see how much space I can clear for them without spending much.

The downside with IW - more space = more no-brand tat the buyers will have shipped in.

So you discover the greatest skincare product of all time. Based upon Nobel Prize winning science ( spoiler, it isn’t ). Everyone wants it, incredibly expensive ingredients, no other company has anything like it. Massive trial involving 100 people for a whole 8 weeks shows miraculous results. What’s the first thing you do? Get it into Harrods or Selfridges at £500 for a few grams, get articles in scientific journals explaining how revolutionary it is. No you flog it on a low rent high tat shopping channel on 5 flexi payments between a £12.99 lumber pillow and a crap handbag. Seriously? The before and after pictures are taken under different lighting conditions. It looks like they have just increased the brightness and lowered the contrast for the after pictures.

[Francy19]

Is it just me or do those bags look chavvy?

 

[Francy19]

Just switched on to IW first time today. Just been out for a gorgeous steak meal for my mum’s 80th birthday. Moronic Mike on. They’ve had these bags on before so I wonder where they’ve found more of them ?
Talking bollocks again about late stock arriving, thought had sold out blah blah blah.
