Random musings and general banter.

Traser in association with Microsoft decided to make watches. What an idiot.

That would explain the inflated prices. Wonder if they will stop receiving updates in October this year?

Mental Health update.

Been referred to a Mental Healtn Team as a Urgent case, let’s see how many weeks that takes

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Will do!

Sazza - I have been in this game long enough to know the difference between difference of opinion and targeted trolling and disruption. If it were my forum they would be yellow-carded, then if no improvement, red-carded and blocked from the site. It’s not my forum, so I must abide by the rules here on that. Take a few minutes to go back through their posting history and see if you change your opinion. I suspect quite a few others on here with share mine of the intentions of Saintslad.

Cheers for now…

We all need to look out for each other, one especially comes on as poss staff at IW, but is mainly just looking for women

This relates to the point I was making a few days ago about his show openings which, let's face it, are pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things, but don't serve any real purpose.

The cameras are set in a fixed position and can only be moved one at a time, the lighting the same (and if you watch their output, even the basics are generally done badly in that regard) and there is one person technically running the entire show; as far as I know they have but two hands and wouldn't know how to treat such an action anyway. He has nary a floor manager or camera operator (or indeed camera person) in the studio to help him. There is nothing interesting on set to show while he's on camera and often there is no actual plan.

With the resource available there is literally no way to make these pieces to camera / openings / eulogies (delete as appropriate) look and sound good, but he wants to do them anyway. I think it just makes him feel important and 'showbizzy' to do them, which is about as far from what he is as I am from being a sesquibillionaire.

To say they are cringeworthy is being polite...

They can't even work out where the title safe area is most of the time. I'd expect a first-year undergrad in production to be able to work that out, so I really wonder who they're employing now in production.

I found the mod comment a bit more offhand than I’d expect, given that particular poster’s habit of only turning up to criticise forum members.
Anyway. I’m not paying to be a ‘supporter’ next year unless the Duke returns. There’s not a lot else I can do to show solidarity, but I can do that.

 

[EmmaP]

I know me and hammy often watch IW on the Sky Platform, and often the picture is a mess, not sure about other platforms

 

[Craftalot]

I really hope Cheese feels that he wants to return, as soon as possible. He's the glue of this thread, really. I think we'll all miss him terribly.

 

[EmmaP]

the majority of us on here, aren’t in the greatest health in various degrees, and here is almost our safe space

 

[EmmaP]

I for one would love to come on and praise IW.

And I hope others agree, even though we complain about Peter Simon, Mike Mason etc, we don’t wish them harm

A good place for banter, some humour, a laugh at the presenters or products.

I don't like facebook, far too many who take things the wrong way for my taste and far too sensitive. That and the use of text speak or modern slang that means little to me.

I get the impression that many of us here are a tad older and we view things differently to gen z. Plus we type in normal english, innit bruv.

 

[EmmaP]

I was shocked when I logged onto here last night, following watching football on TV, that I had texted in and had bought a watch.

I know I’m a bit different, as I have given Alex permission to mention me on bedding hours

I agree about ages, I’m 49, 50 in April.and I think I’m one of the younger members

Exactly so, I think. And we've been around long enough not to take a load of crap at face value, and we see things for what they are. Innit?

 

[EmmaP]

Alex spoke to management for me, who have offered me a weighted blanket, If I ever feel I need one.

So that is why I don’t slag of the channel as much as others, as I know they have some good

Peter also said that Hammy preferred his Vostok to his Rolex. Using names of forum members to boost sales is pretty low. Don't they have any genuine customers? Yes, there is Trevor and Muriel, but do they really exist? I doubt it somehow.

 

[EmmaP]

the sudden mental. Health comment really affected me the other night, to the point I bit my hand.

It wasn’t all him as I’d felt crap anyway

 

[Wanderer]

I knew I had seen that look of Joanne wearing that collar thing somewhere before......
