Random musings and general banter.

Let us know what you think of it when you've given it a whirl, Emma.

Will do as I’ve only one working Hand

Mike tells us that the portable clothes dryer will also heat your room (or your hovel, if you are Pinnochio Pete). Does this mean the end of the radiators!!!? Answers on a postcard, please...

Must be difficult for you - some of the lids on today's products are a nightmare to get off. Hope this does the trick.

I struggle with the plastic lid on milk containers as my right hand is a little bit weak.

When it comes I will let everyone know

You never know, this new gadget may be the start of IW bringing in a bit more variety in their products.

That exercise machine looks a tad flimsy or is it my eyesight?

Was it the plinketty-plonk fast music? Hurts your eardrums and is like something from the Best of the 1930's Hit Parade.

We've had various so far tonight, even something that sounded Hawaiian

Great start to the exercise machine - Mike's just said the price shown originally was wrong. Pity it wasn't checked before it came to air (how unreasonable am I?), but have to hand it to Mike, he was upfront that he thought it was wrong (price too high) and asked backroom people to check it - he didn't try to 'fudge' it or mumble about it, and no silly spiel, it seemed genuine.

Those handles on the exercise machine looked very stiff to me - Mike looked to be struggling to get them to turn at one point. Maybe the resistance can be adjusted, but you'd think they'd be aware of this when getting the machine ready for the presentation, wouldn't you.

Oh, I think the one I heard was something different, then. I thought I'd gone back in time to 1935 when I heard it

Took a while to check the price and then amend the on-screen graphic. Their IT guy must be slow.

Yes, its adjustable with the black knob on top.

You don't fool me, you just want to see Mike in a grass skirt - I know what you're like!

I walked past a lady Tesco this morning talking to another lady about how many times a day she uses her collagen. Her voice had blended in with the others in the store by the time i walked past so i didn't hear how many times a day she took it. Ideal World came to mind when i heard the word collagen.

Ah, I must have missed the bit where he said it was adjustable. He did look to be struggling.

But was her skin like that of a 10-year-old? Did you check?
