Random musings and general banter.

[Scraping the barrel]

I've been thinking for a while that they're sailing very close to the wind with medical claims - they're actually routine now from Natalia, whereas the worst culprit for medical claims used to be Salleh.

As I'm typing this, Natalia is claiming that the 'red light' will help with wound healing and her sore neck. The whole magic coloured-lights-from-a-torch thing is complete and utter bôllocks - end of the pier type stuff. However, I think Vaibhav realised pretty quickly that the ASA is completely toothless. If you think your audience is stupid, uneducated and gullible enough to believe whatever you tell them, and you (correctly) judge the risk of any legal or regulatory sanction to be effectively zero, then there is no disincentive to run your business like this.

The ASA needs to grow a pair and actually do what they were set up to do.

I don’t watch Natalia,being a bloke and all that , but I have seen snippets and agree with your observations. Not difficult for a person with a little common sense to see through her….but I thank you mainly for this:
“End of the pier stuff” Superb turn of phrase and how true with most of the stuff on IW!
So that phrase now joins some other favourites such as:
‘Perfidious’ and ‘Vacuous’ (you know who you are) and these phrases/words are now in my Exclusive Little Book of Ideal World Insults. Now on sale at the ridiculous price,if you will,of £1,999.00 ! But I’ve had some words,and I might get into trouble for this, but I don’t care…to you for 1 day only £1998.00! (1 flexi,so first payment of £1,998.00)

Be so advised this is a limited offer…blimey we’re in meltdown here,people are going mad for these,and I mean mad. Everybody wants one..multi buy if you can. Remember ‘try it,don’t buy it’ but unfortunately if you take it out of the box it can’t be returned!

Congratulations,and I mean Congratulations and good luck if you get it! Our courier will be on his way to your door between 2pm-2am within 6 months…AND you get a free fragrance from a perfumery exclusive to IW..

Wonderful to see the launch of the official Exemplar Planet drum kit today….

You are spot on @Scraping the barrel …I should definitely stick to the pillows as I don’t think Levi’s, Calvin Klein or Diesel are coming knocking at my door anytime soon!! I did say ‘the guys in the forum are going to give me pelters for this’! So fair play!! I was fully expecting it .
I had a laugh today to be fair. They asked me if I wouldn’t mind showing the men’s PJ’s as I think they are getting a proper male model in the future so I’m happy to do it, poke some fun at myself and have a laugh with the regular viewers. Sometimes I need days like today where it’s a bit of fun and not too overly serious about pillows and mattresses etc . But yes - I looked a prize wally trying to model but the PJ’s were quite nice! Again - fair play to the models that do this…I had to change constantly and I wasn’t managing to keep up!! Had wires hanging out of the pockets etc!! Think I’ll leave the catwalk to the pro’s next time! . Hope you have all had a good night and love the photo @Duke of Cheese

Alex! Don’t be so hard on yourself!
You can do some modelling,if I can then so can you.
Here’s one I made of Trevor..

May I ask whether you know if the exclusive fragrance is parfum, eau de parfum or eau de toilette (commonly known as 'toilet water'). I couldn't care less but I'm asking for a friend. if it is toilet water I'll pass on this occasion...

Oh, and can I order 10 of your books? Stocking up on Secret Santa presents early, I sometimes exceed the £5 suggested cost of gift

Actually p*ss water straight out of the bogs! So may not be for you..and 10 books blimey? Of course 10p discount for 10 and delivery may take a while as he can only carry 1 book at a time and continually breaks down…so we gave him a ‘Morphie’ and an exclusive IW thermos full of hot tea

Quite agree with you. I can’t understand why anyone would buy a beauty product that Natalia was selling. IMHO I wouldn’t want to end up with a face as grotesque as hers. Can’t stand to look at her or listen to her simpering, vacuous voice.

And don’t get me started on her “medical” claims. It downright criminal in my opinion that she’s allowed to get away with it.

Joe is back today, but I've turned off as I just can't stand Lindsey's voice.

Yes, if one dose didn't prevent her from being at death's door how will doubling the dose (which may be higher than the recommended daily allowance) make any difference

I for one wouldn't take any advice (medical or fashion) from her.

Saw her recently and the thought occurred to me that what's wrong with her is to do with her rear end - i.e. she talks out of it (I will send her a bill for my private diagnosis). That advice about doubling is irresponsible and could be dangerous - taking too many iron tablets, for example, can cause potentially serious problems. Why does she imagine that supplements carry warnings about taking more than the RDA? This is where 'health advice' - especially from those not qualified to give it - should be banned on shopping channels unless they can be trusted to be responsible in what they say.

 

[historymystery]

It's unbelievable. Sally's just off her deathbed, Pedro is continually coughing and Genievive is still off sick. And we're supposed to take health and well-being advice from these con artists?

Didn't you know? It's just been announced that there's a worldwide shortage of Emu balm.

It did look decent, especially if you don’t want to cook a lot

 

[EmmaP]

I don’t mind Joe nice enough chap

CBD rubbish now

 

[EmmaP]

Sally still doesnt look well

What!!! She's just off her deathbed. You wouldn't look your best either.

Collagen, gut wealth, vitamin supplements, iron tablets, vitamin D injections, emu balm, gummies and now apparently CBD oil are helping with her miraculous recovery though. Get well soon Sal.

Sally Sob story.

I had a bad time in 2023 the same as my colleagues. All it misses is the harp music.

What about those who lost money on the Rattan Furniture

Bad time in 2023 my bum, she went on holiday during the time IW went under. Even remember She was on YouTube, saying ooh the holiday was booked already, For those who were asking, and We’ve had to change some of our plans.

Probably meant she could only afford 7 pairs of sunglasses for the fortnight

Poor bloke. He'll get a perforated eardrum sat that close to Foghorn.

lol. She looks like she could have him for lunch in that photo.

 

[Bernie100]

Foghorn's only been taking the CBD oil for one week and already it has cured the arthritis in her finger. It's a bona fide miracle . This stuff could give Emu Balm a run for its money.
