Random musings and general banter.

I remember years ago someone I worked with saying his 15 year old son didn’t watch TV, he just watched YouTube channels. I've come across this since, a family 2 doors down from me don't own a television. I don't watch much live TV, most of it is streamed later.

i think the concept of sitting down at a certain time to watch a programme is becoming more out of date, but not by all obviously. And trends move very quickly these days that it can be difficult to keep up.

I watch quite a lot of YT, less and less 'proper telly.'

What I love about YT is you're not tied to the tv schedules and what they choose to show us. And the production values of many YT channels are on a par with telly. Although that's not the most important aspect for me.

The variety on YT leaves linear telly in the shade.

I’m surprised IW haven’t started selling Skinny Jabs.

There are a mother and daughter from America on This Morning, both didn’t look overweight before, but now both look Sklators

I suspect Alison Hammond is using a weight loss jab. She said it's through cutting out sweet stuff and exercise, but she has lost it very quickly. Letitia Dean from EastEnders is another. They won't admit to using them, but it's obvious.

It's unlikely to be just cutting out sweet stuff and exercise, not sure that would work so quickly. She would have to be eating thousands of calories and then go to a 1,000 calorie diet like they do on My 600lb Life.

You need a total wholesale lifestyle change. Or have a weight loss jab. No point denying it, people will just believe it to be true anyway

Yes, they sell unusual items! I have a very small Bluetooth speaker that I use when I'm playing music or listening to podcasts on my ipod, it's small but with a very powerful sound. I move the speaker from room to room if doing housework. Why you would want a mirror with a speaker?

Pervy Patio Pete, Mike of the Morons, Torchy Morgan, Foghorn Fanny and the fish lipped gargoyle probably would. Asking it- Mirror Mirror on the wall, who the fairest of them all? They’d expect it to reply “you are”, although it’d be more apt if it said “well certainly not you.

Crap for craps sake?

We're not big fans of a lot of mainstream TV these days, but whenever possible record the programmes to watch later, so we can then fast forward though the ads.

I think we all know what she's doing - she bought a vibration plate from IW.
As we all know, Pedro was obese and lost six stone thanks to vibration.

All you need to stay fit and healthy is a vibration plate, a stepper, emu balm, cbd gummies and a vast array of pillows and blankets.

Did he really kiss stuff last night, Pedro I mean

Yes, he was going into raptures over the furry blanket. His left hand was permanently under the blanket, so goodness knows what he was doing!

 

[EmmaP]

Ooh well it wasn’t the first time

 

[Scraping the barrel]

I'll give him this. He said the lamps might look better with a lower wattage candle effect bulb. For anyone out there who does like that style of lamp, I reckon it could indeed look better with that sort of bulb. So I'll give him that one.

So happy that you will give him one. Rather you than me and should make him smile..

I wonder how long old Pete will go on for? He's obviously got some unsuccessful obsession with trying to remain youthful. You can see and hear that. Must be mid-60s now. He was doing Ronald McDonald (not in that way) on promotions back in the mid-1980s, and he looked in his late 20s then. Is it the money or his perceived adulation from unseen old women he craves still? Or a bit of both. Will he still be doing this in 10 years time, say? It's a dying off market, literally for him and all the others who've been working for decades in it. Anybody much under 60, generally speaking would switch him and the rest off immediately -let alone hang around to buy anything. I honestly cannot see even QVC being around at some point in the next couple of decades. Not in its present form at least. Ideal World's and the others' offered way of buying is a completely outdated concept of purchasing goods to anybody young. It focuses to survive on a market that won't be around in the long-term. There seems no way of spicing it up to appeal to a market who will be.

He is 62

To misquote Vanessa Feltz, if they were fat all along and suddenly they're not, then they're using Ozempic. Alison Hammond has been fully scrubbed up I see, from the mess she was that I remember on This Morning. Almost QVCified, actually.

He is 62

That date is out there on Wikipedia etc. Whether that is entirely accurate for somebody with no checkable facts online about them is open to debate.

 

[historymystery]

I'd have thought he was older than that (showbizzer fibbing about their age - never!!). In a magazine cover from 1986 he looked at least 26-27, certainly not early 20's (although it's true that the forerunner of the IW radiators could have dried out his skin). That would make him nearer 64-65 now.

I wonder if as well as the collagen there is a picture of him in the attic? How else does he keep his youthful bloom?

That makes him just 5 years older than me. Not blowing my own trumpet but he looks a lot older than me.

He did say last year he was a pensioner, which would make him at least 66. He tells so many fibs, it's hard to know what is the actual truth.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Isn’t his ‘real name’ Peter Thompson? Least, that’s what his Fandom page says. How many Peter Thompsons out there to check on?? I would have a bet at 65/66. I think 62 is too young based on that mid-1980s Ronald McDonald promo.
