I see what you mean

I’m glad I wasn’t born until 1975, Seem it saved me from having to watch some terrifying children’s tv

Motormouth flogging Mystic Merlinite Pebble for 25 Smackeroos. They ok remarkably like the pebbles on our local beach

That's what passes for Work Experience for the kiddies at IW. Unfortunately, there's no beaches near Feltham, so they're sent down to the car park instead to collect some pebbles off the gravel which they can polish up a bit. If they complain, someone tells them 'you wanna work in telly, don't you? We all had to start somewhere!'

Where were those puppets found in a dustbin

 

[EmmaP]

I was trying to find old Children’s shows on YouTube last night, and found Crystal Tips and Alistair I had never watched it until last night.

But it was strange,

Beauty Day, that’s me not interested.

Saying that hearing Pedro selling beauty items may be a laugh later

Cotterless crank? Sounds like an IW presenter description.

Not surprising. Clarkson doesn't seem to know anything! I wondered if he was putting it on. He constantly amazes me with how little he knows. Seems to live in a bubble.
For a guy who's travelled a bit and done some car reviews and military history he seems clueless about most topics, including geography, general knowledge, science, literature, culture, nature, art, etc.

He didn't even know the RAF motto, Per Ardua ad Astra. (Through hard work / adversity/ hardship to the stars). And he's supposed to know a bit about the military.

I have to say that as a presenter Clarkson is pretty good.
Much better than the previous condescending burke that was Chris Tarrant.

 

[Niwa]

I thought that was Rolf Harris?

I must remind you that under UK law we must only refer to perverts by their last name ie Harris or Glitter for example.

Will his wife Foo Kin Kow be making the trip with him?

Is that accurately true?

I really must get some of that Collagen stuff because according to this Olympic Gold Medalist, it's the glue that holds us all together.

And if I don't get some then presumably bits of my body will start falling off - one of my ears perhaps or maybe even my nose. Or even worse one of my legs or arms. And I really couldn't be doing with that.

 

[Craftalot]

Is that accurately true?

It's as 'accurately true' as 99.99% of the sales claims made on Ideal World.

Given you don't seem to have a problem with IW's claims, the same would be true of these, wouldn't they? I'm sure you wouldn't want to appear capricous or inconsistent, and after all, what's sauce for the goose...

He looks like he's about to throttle someone in that photo.

Agreed. It appears to be Loudsey, Pedro and Torchy for the rest of the day.
I don't like any of them particularly but better than Joanne who's been ruining the late night slot.

 

[EmmaP]

Wonder if James will be on with .pedro later, would be such a cringe fest

 

[EmmaP]

I hate any of these themed events shopping channels do.

QVC are the worst, why do a whole beauty weekend, or 3 days of Fashion

I saw a couple of minutes of Joanne last night. Must have been selling a mattress protector. Going through all the reasons someone might wet the bed, and why you needed this product

It's hard to believe but I switched off after about 30 seconds...

She didn't say while I was watching thankfully!

Not hard for me to believe.
I absolutely can't stand the woman.
The worst part is the screeching voice that never stops.
If she's on that channel stays off.
Only made worse last night by man child drone on man Richard Mires being on Shop On TV.

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Is that accurately true?

Well I suppose Foo Kin Kow is about as accurate as being called @saintslad would you agree?
It’s a ‘made up ‘ name.

I feel foolish for having to explain that to you
