Random musings and general banter.

Those with a memory foam mattress, how long have you had it and is it holding its shape well? I've been put off buying a memory foam mattress as I have some expensive memory foam pillows which no longer go back into shape at all. In fact they barely look pillow shaped at all? And they aren't that old really.....maybe 2 years. But I can say that they were a total waste of money

Retro, I have no experience with a memory foam mattress, but my experience with the pillows is the same as yours. Not worth the money.

I found that anytime I slept on a memory foam mattress that it became to warm and annoying.

Just my own experience.

I just have memory foam mattress toppers and I find they are fine

My mattress has both memory foam and springs, and yes it does warm up very quickly. However it isn't bad if you use a cool duvet (3.5 tog or less) and that's warm enough even during winter (though last winter wasn't particularly cold), but other mattress designs​ may be better or worse. It seems that like most things in life you get what you pay for.

One thing worth noting is that the instruction leaflet said that the use of an electric blanket with a memory foam mattress is not recommended so if you like your bed pre-heated then memory foam may not be for you. Of course you'll never hear that mentioned in an Ideal World sales pitch :mysmilie_59:

I have to offer an apology.

An apology to anyone on this forum who has ever written about Howards obsession with poo/his bowels. I thought people exaggerated it for the sake of saying something, anything about him.

But on yesterdays (2pm I think) mattress hour with Creepy Crawley, he managed to insert references to him shitting himself on a mattress. Even Crawley was reacting like ''what the ****... why''

Sally is shilling plants with Zsa Zsa The Gardener. Dirty Peter made an appearance (as is his want I suppose, he is the 'star' of the channel) to preview his upcoming big sponge 'show' with Shaun Crawley, who is supposedly a 'superstar' guest.

There's never any chemistry between Sally and Zsa Zsa (in fact there's never any full stop when Zsa Zsa is on) and there was even less when Dirty Peter slithered on set.

But no amount of phony forced laughter and excruciating fake bonhomie can disguise the obvious. I fancy this lot would cross the road to avoid each other.

And if you didn't know better you could easily be forgiven for thinking that Dirty Peter is drunk, or intoxicated in some other way.

Incoherent, slurring, gurning, he seems like he's struggling just to open those lifeless, piggy eyes.

It's like watching Kerry Katona on This Morning :mysmilie_59:

Pope Peter Simon and Kevski were shilling watches earlier this evening with the usual sales pitches but with a key difference at least during the five minutes when I was watching. Pete told viewers to "Check out your baskets" at least three times (very unusual) and said that they had brought back a Hugo Schwartz watch with a stock of 8 because the previous buyers had forgotten to check out their baskets the previous time it was sold. Which either means that there were eight absent-minded buyers or they're rapidly running out of excuses for poor sales.

So it now looks as if they're getting even more desperate for a sale at any cost, meaning that Ideal World's bankruptcy can't be that far away...

That would be Angela Whatshername. She's a Gardener/Crafter/Tennis Guru

So many talents, which is all well and good, but does she know Luxury?

SHREQUE is shilling plants with Zsa Zsa. He screams :-

'For Flocks sake, the Flocks are gonna go, the Flocks are limited stock'

And all the while he's once again pulling that excruciating scam where he turns and pretends he's being told by someone out of camera shot that everything is selling out.

But Zsa Zsa is gritting her teeth. She doesn't like being upstaged.

SHREQUE calls Flexipay 'Sexy Pay' as 'it's a lot sexier to pay half now and half in a months time'.

So I guess that kind of dashes any hopes of an improvement in the quality of presentation.

And now it's time for Watches :mysmilie_59:

As useful as it is to have the combined wisdom of a pretend horologist and a former cruise entertainer on tonight's luxury watch show, I believe a cameo endorsement from Creepy Crawley could be just the reassurance needed for potential buyers, just so they know they're getting 'real' luxury. It would be even more convincing if he were to handle the watches with those specialist gloves he uses when flogging mass-produced vases and bowls. After he has pronounced the watches as 'absolute luxury', he could end his appearance by reminding buyers to 'put them on the insurance'.

Sounds like a winning formula to me...

Shreque and Kevski showed a Lamborghini watch exclusive to Ideal World featuring a Union Jack dial. Kevski let slip that he thinks of this as part of the "My Little Brexit Collection" which caused Shreque to panic, saying "Don't go there, don't go there..." - well it certainly looks Brexit to me :mysmilie_59:

Also they later showed the certificate of authenticity you get with a Mankey-Tosspot watch, proving that it is indeed a genuine Mankey-Tosspot watch :mysmilie_59:

The 'letter' will now come with all future sales of the 'limited edition' Mathey Tissot Watch. And Alberto is to send out letters to everyone who has bought one previously.

Kevinski was careful to point out that the letter will arrive in a red envelope (is that code for the sender hasn't paid the appropriate postage?)

How can anyone can fall for this flannel? :mysmilie_19:

De Knees was selling their new Emelia Crochet Detail Top by waving her hand behind the fabric to prove that it was "solid material" because you couldn't see her hand. Unfortunately when she stopped waving I could see one of her fingers through the fabric. Whoops :mysmilie_19:
