Random musings and general banter.

mr tom, I think you are right, they did do some sort of deal if you bought 2....but price-wise, I can't recall what it was. I do recall some of the gut-wrenching sales pitches last year, about when you are sitting freezing in your 25-bedroomed, 19-bathroomed house and can't afford to switch on the central heating, or something similar. The way Barrow Boy went on it was as though we all lived in mansions and it brought tears to your eyes (of laughter) it was so insincere.

I was watching on Friday evening when they was selling the radiator for £300 but correct me if i'm wrong, I'm sure they was selling two radiators last year for £500?

but even worse is the ''heat or eat'' nonsense. I don't mean it's nonsense in that it doesn't happen as sadly it is a possibility for many. But it is nonsense how they bring it up with a newspaper clipping from the local Peterborough paper as some kind of iron clad proof. I apologise if others have already said this.

My personal favourite is when the expert gets out his thermometer gun and says ''people say to me, this is magic and I say it is not magic it is science''

I say it is something else.

Grief, how old's his Gran, Momma? 300? Mum's alive or not alive, depending on what he's flogging. Perhaps Simone's mum put her age back when the clocks went back on Saturday?

Simone the model has two Mothers. Last week she said her Mother was 80. Yesterday she said her Mother was 70 :smirk:

Perv mentioned his Mama, long gone, again. I presume he's on about his Grandmother????????

Thank you. I may have the minor details wrong but that is the gist of what I remember.

I've noticed the phone lines are always busy.... according to the presenter.

Also it is always the busiest time of the hour.... always.

Another classic - before the sales pitch even starts - "We are limited stock, and we expect a sell out this hour" - little naughty fibbers (or something similar):mysmilie_59:

 

[historymystery]

Yes, some might say "fibbers" - some might use another expression entirely!!! One thing's for sure, Dave, even if you missed it because it was already "limited stock" - there will be another 5 million of them coming up tomorrow...:mysmilie_17:

Mutts, don't forget we are talking the world expert on women's clothes here....and I speak as one who suffered in the cause of my art by watching him present(?) Woodland Leathers in the past, when he insisted on parading up and down the catwalk, leaving the model to do the presenting...I think he imagines he is the equivalent of Karl Lagerfield or similar....but then, he's an expert in everything, including matters medical (such as his boring bowels)

He sounded like an expert earlier when selling women's dresses about how roomy they are if you are "not on the liquid diet". He clearly knows a lot about these matters. Is it so difficult to have a female presenter when selling ladies clothing?

My friend, you actually managed to sit through that presentation? You should have told me and I would have visited you to give some counselling. Never let it be said that you don't sacrifice yourself so that we do not have to suffer! I can imagine him strutting down the catwalk modelling the jackets, unfortunately I have a good imagination...

H is a true hero Mutts and we owe her a great deal, I reckon we should all sit in a circle a meditate to try and regroup, the vision of Perv modelling anything and camping it on the runway is enough to tip anyone over the edge, we must be prepared!

 

[historymystery]

Muttley, it was nothing - and I am a truly proud woman to say that I achieved it - eat your hearts out, the rest of you, jealousy will get you nowhere!! Counselling was useless (as you can tell!!), although I did need medical assistance to put my jaw back in place, as it had hit the floor while I was watching. He appeared to be a "suitable case for treatment" as they say. Never, ever, will I get over it..........Nurse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mysmilie_19:

And you should be proud!! It took some doing that!! I couldn't do it so Historymystery!............we salute you!! We're not jealous....nope....not at all :envy: :mysmilie_13::mysmilie_17:

 

[historymystery]

Thank you, friend, aw shucks, it was nothing really.....for Howard - and his bowels - no sacrifice is too great for me (curtseys and bows to her public.....):mysmilie_14:

They've been going right over the top today trying to flog the Lumio laser light ( the thing that can make your living room look like a pole dancing bar at closing time ).
Angela is claiming that 'We've all bought it !' and that she personally has bought two !
Shaun apparently 'bought it instantly' Can we all come round and see it in your house Shaun ?
Caught a bit of His Holiness earlier on the same product ' When I was a lad we had to make do with what we had- just a little Christmas tree in the corner with no lights.'
The stock warnings were coming like machine gun fire - 'We never , ever imagined that it would be this popular...' claims Shaun.
It's like the golden age of Bid has returned.

It makes me laugh when presenters claim to have bought this stuff. I would love to check who had an i-phone rather than what they selling on the day. Or check how many Kinkaide "artworks" (I use that term loosely) are in Pope Pete's humble abode that he either lives alone in or with Our Bet...

 

[Turandot]

Petes influence seems to be affecting all at IW for naff creepy remarks.

Dennice and Shaun selling Moisonnite the other day.Dennice was in ecstasy over a ring on her finger saying she likes it so much she wants to feel it .she wants to lick it its so good.!

I thought what channel am I watching here ? I don't ever feel like licking my rings!
