Random musings and general banter.

Clothes dryer £39.99, comparison, £89, Mike claims they are half the price of anywhere else they are sold.


Strange, all the similar comparisons i can find are in the low £30s.

perfidious prat - those driers have been on their web site for ages, he could of bought his wife one then

 

[Hammy60]

Why do they always try and price compare batteries with 4 packs?
And it's always from your local shop (which is obviously going to be dearer than online shops, lot more overheads) why not compare with similar multi packs you can buy online from your competitors rather than a local shop which really isn't in competition or a competitor with you?

It always strikes me with Mason when I watch him on the channel is that combination of supreme arrogance (beautiful bald fella, feels music, women want me etc.) he usually expresses with a faux belief. Almost self-deprecatingly ironic about himself even, in how it is delivered.. Clearly said that way to suggest he doesn’t really believe what he is saying, but you sense underpinned by the feeling that he really DOES believe what he’s saying but relayed in a comedic manner. I think, in turn, if that’s true, that would give him an incredible dislike of any harsh criticism made on places like this. Hence, you often hear him repeating things on-air, again in a said with ‘humour’ sort of a way, that very much can be linked to things that have been said here. You’d email him to ask what he really believes about himself, but there doesn’t seem to be one for him. Also…beware of people who speak of themselves in the third person. The Duke of Cheese is very wary of them.

Just like the VE Almaz that took him 3 years to get as it always sold out.

Muttley, I tried listening to the waves, rainfall, thunderstorms and tinkling fountains before sleep. Unfortunately it didn’t work for me as I had to get up to go to the loo.
My sister has a fountain her garden but turns it off when I stay there as that also has the same effect.

Yes, that is the downside of not being as young as we used to be!

I get the impression that he is very thin skinned and he seems to have anger very close to the surface.

And Muttley agrees with you about speaking about yourself in the third person

Well, Paz was extraordinarily defensive during their appearances on here. Matched at times with an undercurrent of aggression in their often confrontational and bitter responses. Rear Admiral Knowles seems to get much better out of people for some unknown reason by his measured, constructive and in-person contributions here. I can’t think why??!!

100% agree. An egotistical narcissist..if there is such a thing!

Well if there isn’t Scraping the Barrel thinks there is now.

Very sexist,sickly almost..’love’ ‘darling’ ‘sweet’..talks down to the women he works with.
Look at me! Type of person and yes,an angry man underneath all that. I wouldn’t want to cross him

That sounds like a great present! I wish Father Christmas had left one under the tree for me. Maybe next year I'll be lucky (if I drop enough hints to relatives...)

It was. And a bottle you can't throw away either It has a pattern on it that makes 'lovely' patterns when the light is on (when you move it ) Sell it as a lamp for gin lovers: bedside table. And if you're interested, it was marmalade flavour, better than it sounds.

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Mason just mentioned Brian Cant

Only caught the tail end. Thought he was talking about himself…AGAIN

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Probably for want of nobody buying the tat on offer, he went off on a Children’s TV nostalgic surreal rant. His main focus was on the changing room in the 1970s’ programme Mr Benn. He felt it ‘not right’ that the Shopkeeper stayed in the room while Mr Benn removed his cardboard clothing, revealing his cardboard painted appendage, to put on a new costume which then led Mr Benn to a new adventure. Suggesting it was somehow a tad sinister for the man to remain as a potential voyeur to Mr Benn’s posturing and prancing. Of course, nowadays it would be called ‘Them Benn’ or ‘Gender Neutral Benn’ and the first change of clothes would be a Folies Bergère can-can dancer’s costume.

 

[Battiola73]

Battiola, you should have gone to Specsvers

I bought my last pair of glasses from IW. Not really.they are prescription glasses from the Boots opticians

 

[Muttley]

And you! You spelt Specsavers wrong

That's not poor eyesight it's poor typing!

It would be interesting to know Mason’s feelings on Alex Knowles actively tackling the issue of price comparisons on here.

No actually it is Benn's Original

poor typing caused by poor eyesight? Ok I believe you but I have put your name forward to be an IW presenter. Mike is looking for a sidekick who can bluff the unsuspecting

 

[Dr Quincy MkII]

I'm not 'bowled' over with the usual mattress topper patter

Masons got no feelings..

I've been noticing some sly digs at Alex by mason of the morons vaguely disguised as banter
